Click, Point, and Done
Some people believe that 90% of the battle for selling online is technology.
WordPress’s guiding principle is to make it easy to use. It takes only five minutes to install WordPress. However, WordPress is just one part of the potential possibilities for a website.
A WordPress website must be completed by adding plugins such as WooCommerce to its core. An Application Programming Interface (API) connects to other functions to make it possible.
Bluehost took all the steps to get online and made them easy to follow.
The first step to getting started is an onboarding process. In the background, components such as Yoast, WooCommerce, and block themes will be installed.
Next, the user clicks on several steps to connect a payment processor and make the website functional.
This is done through a menu system that uses tabs.
The following steps are mapped to the tabs:
- General Settings
- Add Products
- Personalize your store
- Advanced Features
- Start Your Store
To move to the next step, a user must click on the left tabs.
Contextual documentation is available to assist users with information needs.

WordPress blocks have intuitive contextual menus, which are clearly labeled.
