How to Set Up a Horizontal Scroll Website With the Best WordPress Theme
Designing and developing a website can be a very challenging task. In addition to having a clear idea of what you want the site to look like, you also need to consider many other factors to make sure that everything works smoothly and that the site is easy to use and accessible for as many people as possible. One of the major issues that you need to work on is making the site mobile friendly. With so much content and functionality now available on portable devices, it’s essential that you ensure that your website can be accessed smoothly and easily from any type of device. With the use of a mobile plugin like WPtouch, you can easily set up a completely functional and mobile-friendly website with just a few mouse clicks! Let’s take a look at how to set up a horizontal scroll website with the best WordPress theme.
Decide On The Best WordPress Theme
First of all, you need to decide which is the best WordPress theme to use for your site. There are a lot of themes available and it’s a matter of personal preference which one you choose. However, there are a few guidelines that you can follow to ensure that you make the right choice. To begin with, make sure that you download and install the most recent version of the theme. This will ensure that you get the best experience possible out of it. In addition, you should look for themes that support the latest versions of WordPress. This will make a difference in how the site looks and functions. If you decide to go with a free theme, make sure that you look for a reputable provider. Otherwise, you may end up with a theme that is not up to par and can even cause some serious issues for you and your site. Finally, make sure that you try out the demo version of the theme before you purchase it. This will save you a lot of time and heartache if you decide to go with another one after all. Once you’ve followed these simple steps, you’ll be able to enjoy all the benefits of a highly functional and customizable WordPress theme!
Choose A Domain Name And Hosting For Your Website
After you’ve decided on the best WordPress theme, you need to choose a domain name and hosting for your site. You should opt for a.com or.net domain name instead of a.org name because they are considered to be more sophisticated. In addition, if you go with a hosting plan that supports h1, h2, h3, and h4 elements, you’ll be able to create a horizontal scroll website with ease! Don’t worry, you don’t need to have a horizontal scroll website to make use of these elements. You can simply pull them out for aesthetic purposes only.
Install WordPress And Set Up Your Database
After you’ve registered your domain name and acquired hosting, you need to install WordPress and set up your database. To do this, click on the “Dashboard” icon in the upper right corner of your WordPress admin area. From there, click on “Applications” and then on “WP Touch”. Once you’ve installed WordPress and WP Touch, you can set up your database by clicking on the “WP Touch” icon. You’ll then be directed to a screen where you can choose the type of database you want to use. Make sure that you select “MySQL” and then click on “Submit”. Your WordPress dashboard should now look like this:
- WordPress
- Dashboard
- Applications
- WP Touch
- MySQL
You can now begin adding content and functionality to your site. Remember, though, that you need to work on making the site mobile friendly before anything else. Once you’ve done that, you can start adding content and features to your site.
Create A Homepage Widget That Links To A Static Blog Page
The first thing you should do is create a homepage widget that links to a static blog page. To do this, click on the “Appearance” tab at the top of your WordPress admin area. Next, click on “Widgets”. You’ll then see a list of all the widgets that you’ve installed on your site. Click on the “Home” widget and then choose which blog post you want to link to from the drop-down menu. Once you’ve done that, click on the “Update” button at the bottom of the screen to apply the changes.
Now, you can add content to your blog page by simply clicking on the “Add New” button located at the top of your WordPress dashboard. To create a widget with the content from a particular blog post, simply drag and drop the blog post’s content into the widget area on your WordPress dashboard. This will make it much easier to add content to your site from any device. If you want to add a link to a certain site or product, click on the “Quick Link” icon located at the top of your WordPress dashboard. Then, choose the site or product you want to link to and click on the “Create” button. Your WordPress dashboard should now look like this:
- WordPress
- Dashboard
- Applications
- WP Touch
- MySQL
- Home
- Static Blog Page (this is the homepage)
- Quick Link (Create new button)
- Products (Shopping Carts)
As you can see, your WordPress dashboard now has a lot more content and features than before. In addition to having a link to a static blog page, you can also add links to products that you’re selling and a shopping cart to hold those products. For example, if you’re selling designer clothing, you could add a link to a specific line or store. Or if you’re selling jewelry, you could add a link to a particular piece or collection.
Customize The Design Of Your Website
The last thing you need to do before you start using your new site is to customize the design of it. In order to do this, click on the “Appearance” tab in your WordPress admin area. Then, click on “Design” and you’ll see a number of options that you can use to change the overall design of your site. From here, you can add color, images, and fonts to the design of your site. Make sure that you play around with the different options to see how they look before you make any final decisions. Once you’ve made the necessary changes, save the design in your browser’s cache so that you can review it later on.
As you can see, these were just some of the basics of creating a horizontal scroll website with WordPress.
