  Helo,

  We are wanting to build a new website for our company with WordPress, we have found a theme we would like to use and we want to get starting. But we are finding it very hard to start and have found the website not to useful. Please may you help me with how to start building a website not a blog. And do we have to have a business account or can we just use premium?

  Thank you for your time!

  Richard

  Hi,

  To do that, you need to setup your home page as a static front page instead of displaying the latest posts. You can follow the instructions here to do that: http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page

  And then, instead of creating posts, you would need to create pages for your website. Here’s how to do that: http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page

  If you want to customize your menu that link to your pages, you can follow the instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu

  Hope that helps!

  What is the URL of the site you need help with – the site linked to your name has no content and your account is 21 hours old with a name that does not sound like a company to me

  You might be in the wrong forum – but if you are in the correct forum see the learning links below
