    Hi there,

    WordPress.com makes building beautiful looking sites achievable by anybody, you don’t need any coding skills and the websites come with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate.

    what do I do to build another site on my computer? Do I download WP?

    To start creating your website, you’ll need to select a template from the many available free and premium templates on WordPress.com and customize it to your liking, you will be able to add a logo, images, videos, text and change the look and feel of your site as much as you like. You will find step-by-step guides here:

    Please note that if you need to use a custom domain, you will need to have a paid plan. Pricing and the different plans are on the link below:

    No, you don’t need to download WordPress. That’s only necessary if you plan to self-host your site and you can find out more about that on the WordPress.org forum.

    In case you’re wondering the difference between this forum and WordPress.org forum, you can find out more here:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Hope you give it a try and if you run into any problems, you can always come on this forum and someone will gladly point you in the right direction.

    All the best!
