8 points to implement when creating a homepage

Summarize the conceptSet the structure
Prepare content (text, images, etc.)
Get a domain
Prepare a rental server
Install the system (WordPress course)

It is convenient to use WordPress learning for production work. It's relatively easy for beginners and has many benefits. In the next chapter, let's take a closer look at each point.
Homepage creation procedure
The mechanism of the WordPress Website Design Course itself is the same regardless of the purpose. First of all, please master the basics. This chapter describes the basic procedure for creating a homepage. In particular, there is a special part about the corporate site for companies, so I would like to explain it separately. Please take a look if you are in charge.
① Summarize the concept
It's all about clarifying what to do on that home page. For example, I want to do business! I want to tell you something! Etc. This is because the method of future creation and operation will change depending on the application. At this stage, just focus on summarizing your goals.
You don't have to do creative work all at once. There are great tools like WordPress that you will use later.
② Set the structure
I don't create novel works of art, so I think it's quick to choose a structural pattern from the style of the homepage that many people are familiar with. For example, corporate site style or blog style.
The reason why structure is important is that it allows you to clearly connect multiple pages. A home page usually consists of a huge number of pages. Therefore, we will take a method to efficiently show a large amount of this information to the user.
In the first step of WordPress Training, the homepage is not on the Internet as a piece of paper. They are categorized by similar chunks (categories). Furthermore, first of all, there is a place where you can see the whole (top page), and that page leads (links) to another page that explains in more detail.
These structures are none other than the publisher's own decision. When actually creating a homepage with WordPress, it is also possible to automatically set the structure by selecting and setting the theme.
③ Prepare content (text, images, etc.)
You can create a homepage if you have text and images, but let's arrange the appearance so that the viewer can easily see it. The text should be not only the text, but also the title, headline, and summary text. Conclusions should be taken to the beginning and expressed in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.
Images include photographs and charts, and the amount of information that can be conveyed in an instant is larger than that of sentences, so I would like to make effective use of them. It's easier to shoot videos and incorporate them into your homepage, so it might be a good idea to incorporate them.
④ Get a domain
The name of the homepage on the Internet is called a domain. It is a unique symbol, and when you enter it in your browser, your homepage will be displayed. Apply to a domain dealer to get it. It costs several thousand yen in about one year. Many organizations and individuals own more than one depending on their purpose.
Since it is on a first-come, first-served basis, it is generally difficult to obtain a simple name that is easy to understand. Even so, it is recommended to devise a domain as a name to express your own homepage.
If you would like to know more about domains, please see this article as well. There are advantages to using a domain that suits your purpose, and this is also explained.
⑤ Prepare a rental server
A dedicated place is required to access the content prepared so far with a domain on the Internet. That is the server. Not only is it necessary to store content data, but it is also required to be comfortable and safe for homepage users. Maintaining a server is difficult, so in most cases, you will rent as much service as you need from a rental server company.
In the case of Kaguya Japan, many functions can be used as a set under the service name "shared server". In this function, there is also a set of mechanisms required to run WordPress.
⑥ Install the system (WordPress)
After renting a rental server, the next thing to do is to install and configure WordPress. Originally, the work was complicated and time-consuming, but recently, thanks to the enhancement of the easy installation function, it has been considerably reduced. You may be able to complete the task with just a few clicks.
If you install WordPress, you will be able to use not only the pages published on the Internet but also the management page for creating and reworking those pages at the same time. It has a lot of features and I can't understand everything from the very beginning. First of all, I think the quickest way is to get acquainted with how to use it by referring to the following articles and so on.
⑦ Put the content in WordPress (upload)
No more difficult operations. Content can be uploaded on WordPress, making it convenient to publish on the Internet. After creating a sentence like Microsoft Word, you can publish it immediately. Not only photos and charts but also videos can be handled smoothly.
⑧ Take SEO (Search Engine Optimization) measures
If you use a plugin that enhances the functions of WordPress, you can effectively take SEO measures. If you introduce this and set and input it according to the instructions on the screen, it will be an effective measure.
Many plugins for SEO measures are open to the public. There is an article that explains in detail about the representative "Yoast SEO", so please refer to it.
