Going along with the method of keeping it stupid simple, the following four steps will guide you through creating a WordPress photography website easily. Sometimes the process takes as little as two minutes, depending on how many sites we making at the same time. Here goes!

Step 1 - Pick a hosting plan

Find hosting and see which plan works best for you. At the time we're writing this, the base plan is just shy of $25 a month. It comes with 2 websites and more than enough storage and bandwidth for the average photographer. We built our plans based on stats from some of the leading photographers in the industry, so need to worry about running out of any specific part of each plan.

Step 2 - Create your account

Go through the guided steps to create your hosting account, and create the login credentials also for your new WordPress photography website.

Step 3 - Choose your domain

If you already have a domain, that's fine. You can always point it to our servers. Otherwise, you are welcome to purchase a domain directly from us. We make the process extremely straightforward.

Step 4 - Add billing information

The 4th and final step of setting up your WordPress website is to add your billing information.

It's Go Time!

Once you have completed setup you wait for an email from an automated system stating that your site is ready.

From this point, you will have your photography website setup at a preview URL.  You can log in using the provided steps and edit your site. You can change colors, add your branding, create pages, galleries, and much more.  Becuase it's a WordPress website you are not limited by anything. You can install pretty much any plugin you want. 

Because our system is a turnkey one, you're up and running within minutes. But you can always change themes if you want, and our hosting team will have you back. Managed Hosting has huge advantages over the basic shared hosting package you're so used to seeing around.

Enjoy your new photo site!
