You can construct landing pages from scratch, use the drag-and-drop interface, insert interactive elements, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do, however, recommend getting a premium page builder for advantages like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Future updates \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>Premium page builders regularly receive updates that improve the software\u2019s stability and functionality. This is a way to future-proof any website you build \u2013 regardless of niche and purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer support \u2013<\/strong>&nbsp;To help you make the most out of your page builder, developers offer premium support to paying customers. Aside from getting practical tips, they will also help you work your way around problems like bugs and troubleshooting.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Premium templates \u2013<\/strong>&nbsp;Page builders like Elementor provide hundreds of professionally-designed page and section templates to premium users. Of course, these templates are fully customizable so they can still be your own designs despite being pre-built.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custom CSS \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>Advanced users can take advantage of custom CSS support to customize every fine detail of their website. Some page builders like Elementor only include this feature in their \u201cPro\u201d versions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Additional elements \u2013<\/strong>&nbsp;Most page builders offer additional element blocks to paid users. This can include anything from form widgets to pricing tables.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just bear in mind that not all page builders can be found on WordPress\u2019s official library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Builders like <a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/go\/thrivearchitect\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3400\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"Thrive Architect\">Thrive Architect<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/go\/divi\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3401\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"Divi Theme\">Divi<\/a>, for example, can only be downloaded from their respective websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also remember that you can install pretty much any plugin using the same methods highlighted above. Simply use the search bar, click&nbsp;<strong>\u2018Install,\u2019&nbsp;<\/strong>then click&nbsp;<strong>\u2018Activate\u2019&nbsp;<\/strong>when the option becomes available.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of plugins, here are some resources you can refer to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Everything About WordPress Plugins<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/best-wordpress-plugins-for-food-blogs\/\" data-lasso-id=\"3402\">10 Best WordPress Plugins for Food Blogs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/travel-wordpress-plugins\/\" data-lasso-id=\"3403\">Travel Blog WordPress Plugins<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/best-social-sharing-wordpress-plugins\/\" data-lasso-id=\"3404\">10 Best WordPress Social Sharing Plugins<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/resources\/\" data-lasso-id=\"3405\">My Recommended Resources for Bloggers<\/a><strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"essentialpages\">Step 6: Build your essential pages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing the steps above, you should now have a professional-looking website \u2013 ready to wow some readers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nice.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what you have right there is just a skeleton of what can be a great blog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, you need to build the important pages that every website needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m talking about your contact page, homepage, and \u201cabout\u201d page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building your homepage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of new bloggers depend on their theme for their homepage\u2019s design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Why wouldn\u2019t they?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a premium page builder, you should have plenty of ready-to-use templates to draw inspiration from.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"824\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Elementor-Templates.png\" alt=\"Elementor Templates\" class=\"wp-image-4552073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Elementor-Templates.png 1200w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Elementor-Templates-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Elementor-Templates-1024x703.png 1024w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Elementor-Templates-768x527.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Naturally, you still need to fine-tune these templates in order to make your website unique.

This may include a catchy value proposition, a call-to-action button, an opt-in form, or a mix of everything.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Showcase your top content \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>If your offer doesn\u2019t catch your audience\u2019s attention, perhaps your most popular pieces of content will do a better job. It may also be a good idea to highlight your most recent posts to give returning visitors something fresh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Introduce yourself \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>Adding a short \u201cAbout Me\u201d section on your homepage is completely optional, but it\u2019s definitely a great idea. You can add your photo, mention your credentials, and add a link to your full-length About Me page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep the clutter down \u2013<\/strong>&nbsp;When a visitor lands on your homepage, you want them to focus on the elements that matter. That said, avoid adding anything that users don\u2019t really need to see.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add some social proof \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>A great way to win your target audience\u2019s trust is to show them some social proof. Testimonials are, by a mile, the most common type of social proof bloggers use on their homepage.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Include footer links \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>A footer with links to important pages is not only important on your homepage, but everywhere else as well. Personally, I use it to highlight special discounts for tools and cutting-edge resources for bloggers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building your About Me page<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1036\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/About-Ankit-Singla.png\" alt=\"About Me\" class=\"wp-image-4552075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/About-Ankit-Singla.png 1200w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/About-Ankit-Singla-300x259.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/About-Ankit-Singla-1024x884.png 1024w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/About-Ankit-Singla-768x663.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The About Me page is where users can get to know you a little better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, it should provide a satisfactory answer to a crucial question:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWhy should readers trust you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, your About Me page should contain the following things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Killer headline \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>Top bloggers kick off their About Me page with a powerful headline that inspires people to read the whole page.
