Hi guys.

I need a bit of advice please.

I want to start building a website in wordpress.

What should I start learning first? Css.. Html and after wordpress and Seo?

I have basic knowledge of wordpress that's all.

Won't be doing this as a job just want to do my own website.

Thanks guys.

Start learning your site and the theme plus admin pannel your going to use.

Well, you need to decide what your main objective is - Coding or SEO? First thing I would do is get used to Wordpress as a whole like Test-Ok has already said.

After that...Well, I know an SEO who can't code at all really. So although it's certainly helpful, not essential.

I'm a bit of a hybrid, I love both code and SEO. But learning how to use certain tools well, like Yoast for example - speed plugins, a decent website builder and you would be absolutely fine. I mean, this was why Wordpress was built in the first place!


Personally though: I'd learn Wordpress/Plugins/SEO basics, then (if it interests you) go into the HTML, CSS, PHP (essential with WordPress ) & Javascript. Furthermore, I'd make sure whatever theme you use is Bootstrap based as this is an easy framework to learn as a beginner to frontend development.

Thank you for your advice.

You should see my wall.

I'm trying to do a map of SEO...

Everything connects to everything. I feel that seo is like a circle.

You make a mistake in one place and have to change things all over the place after.

I've got a few more questions guys:

1 - On google search console which version of the website should I put as prefered?
Should the choosen one be the one with all the content and indexed by Google?
What do I do with the other ones. I've got https//website.com as favorite. Should I redirect all the other ones to it?

I've see an error I think saying that https //www.website.com should not be redirected...

OMG so many questions I know.

Can't find an answer on Google otherwise I wouldn't have asked.

Cheers guys.

Firstly, https should be preferred. Whether it is www or non-www is up to you.

But yes, you 301 redirect all versions to your preferred variation.

Hi guys.


I hope you're all well.

Can you recommend someone good for SEO IN UK and not to expensive.

I have a services/presentation website and I have a company that does it for me and in 3 weeks they updated content for 3 pages that's all.

Waste of money.

Won't renew with them next month so I'll need someone new genuinely interested in doing good job.

Thank you.

Not sure what he's charging or if he's accepting new clients but this guy http://forums.seochat.com/author/thomasharvey is a member here. If you can get him you're lucky.

[matt1966]

Yup, I second Thomas Harvey. He's knowledgeable and a nice guy to work with.

WordPress provides tutorials on their website. I suggest you start from there as you really do not need to learn a lot of coding using WP platform. Basic HTML helps and I always refer to W3schools site for html tips.
