STEP 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is where your domain name enters the picture. You have three options: buy a new domain name, transfer your domain name to WordPress.com, or map your domain to your WordPress.com account (which costs $14.50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Website\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are both free and premium themes to choose from and you can toggle between both (depending on your preferences). Your theme will decide the look and feel for your business, and can be changed at a later date with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create a static homepage create a new page (from the menu on the left).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Website\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then call this page \u201chome\u201d and set to a \u201cstatic\u201d page type<\/p>\n\n\n\n
