Blog Article: How to Build Your Own No-Code Website in 30 Minutes

Objective

Guide for anyone (entrepreneur, freelancer, job seeker) to create their own personal or professional website (resume/portfolio/blog) in under 30 minutes using WordPress and Hostinger, with no coding required.

Key Points

The Importance of Having a Website

  • Professional Benefit: A website allows you to showcase up-to-date skills, roles and achievements — unlike static PDFs.
    • Recruiters see your most recent work and skills if you add your website to your resume.
  • Personal Discovery: Building a website helps you understand and share who you really are. Writing or publishing online can reveal new interests and career paths.

  2. Website Hosting: A service to store your website and make it accessible 24/7.

Website Platform

  • WordPress is recommended (user-friendly, highly customizable, widely supported).
  • Uses drag-and-drop builders and starter templates.
