Additionally, the process of creating a professional email address using a custom domain will be covered, along with an overview of future opportunities now that a complete website has been successfully built.

Navigating and Testing the Live Website

Before launching your site, it's important to test everything:

Open the website in an incognito browser window to simulate a new visitor;
Navigate through all pages: Home, About, Services, Blog, and Contact;
Click on buttons, links, and menus to make sure they work properly;
Test the contact form by submitting a message and confirming email receipt;
Repeat this test on mobile to confirm responsiveness and performance.

Creating a Professional Email Address

If you're using a hosting provider with cPanel, you can easily create email accounts with your custom domain.

To create an email address like contact@wpcoursebasic.com:

Log into your hosting dashboard and access cPanel;
Scroll to the Email section and click Email Accounts;
Click Create;
Choose a username (e.g., contact) and set a secure password;
Click Create to finalize.

You can now access your inbox using Webmail, or configure it with an email client or Gmail.
