Hosting is like renting space on the internet for your website’s files and data. It makes sure that when people visit your website, they can see and interact with it.

There are different types of hosting services, each with its own benefits and costs. Some are like sharing a room with others, while others give you a private space or even your own house.

When picking a hosting service, think about things like how reliable it is, how much storage you get, how fast your website will load, how safe it is, and if the company offers good customer support. This helps make sure your website works well and can handle more visitors as it grows.

A domain name is like your website’s address on the internet (the URL). It’s a unique and easy-to-remember name that helps people find your website without having to memorise a bunch of numbers. The domain name has two parts: one part you can choose (like “yourname”) and another part that comes after it (like “.com”).

To use a domain name, you need to pay a yearly fee to a company that makes sure no one else is using the same name.

Having a good domain name is important because it helps people remember your website and makes it easier for them to find it online.

In Australia, there are certain legal requirements for websites to ensure they are compliant with the law and protect both the website owner and its users. NOTE: These are NOT about your physical business obligations – these are purely related to your website use.

Here’s a simple explanation of the three main elements you should consider:

  1. Privacy Policy: This is a document that explains how your website collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information from visitors. It helps ensure that you comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988. Make sure your privacy policy is easily accessible on your website and clearly states how you handle user data.

  2. Disclaimer: A disclaimer is a statement that limits your liability for any inaccuracies or errors on your website. It’s important to include a disclaimer to protect yourself from potential legal issues arising from the content or advice provided on your site. The disclaimer should be visible on your website and clarify that the information presented is for general purposes only and not intended as professional advice.

  3. Terms and Conditions (T&Cs): These are the rules and guidelines that users must agree to follow when using your website. T&Cs help protect your intellectual property, outline user responsibilities, and define the relationship between you and your users. They should cover topics such as copyright, acceptable use, account termination, and dispute resolution. Make sure your T&Cs are easy to find on your website and that users understand their obligations when using your site.

Remember, it’s always a good idea to consult a legal professional when drafting these documents to ensure they meet the specific requirements for your website and comply with Australian law.

WordPress.org and WordPress.com are two distinct platforms that cater to different user needs within the world of website creation.

WordPress.org is an open-source content management system (CMS) that allows users to download the software, customize it to their liking, and host it on their own server. This grants greater control and flexibility over the website’s design, functionality, and monetization.

On the other hand, WordPress.com is a web-based, all-in-one hosting solution that takes care of the technical aspects such as hosting, updates, and backups. It offers a more streamlined and beginner-friendly experience but at the cost of limited customization options and a potential requirement for paid plans to access advanced features.

In essence, WordPress.org is ideal for users seeking full control and customization, while WordPress.com is perfect for those looking for a simple, hassle-free website-building experience.

 

Elementor Theme Builder is a powerful, user-friendly, and feature-rich WordPress plugin that allows you to create and design custom themes for your website without the need for any coding knowledge.

It provides a visual drag-and-drop interface, making it easy to design and customize every aspect of your website, from headers and footers to single posts and archive pages.

There are several reasons why you should consider using Elementor Theme Builder:

  3. Compatibility: Elementor works seamlessly with most WordPress themes and plugins, ensuring a smooth integration with your existing website setup.

  4. Responsive design: Elementor automatically generates responsive designs that adapt to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring your website looks great on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

  5. Faster development: By streamlining the design process and eliminating the need for coding, Elementor significantly reduces the time and effort required to create and launch your website.

  6. Regular updates and support: The Elementor team consistently updates the plugin with new features, improvements, and bug fixes, while also providing dedicated support to help you resolve any issues or answer questions.

Yes, you can add a training course or workshop to your website by creating a dedicated page or section, providing all the relevant details like course/workshop description, date, time, location and pricing.

However, the process of setting up the relevant plugins to accept payments and configure the course enrolments is outside the scope of this particular course.
