I will put it on the list of things to do :) I highly recommend getting a themify membership - it's likely they will be able to answer your questions more specifically. Cheers, Hogan.
+Hogan Chua Hi man, i'm here again, to report a little problem with a code: @media screen and (max-width: 480px){ h1 { font-size:3em!important; } h3 { font-size:1.2em!important; } h4 { font-size:2em!important; } } this code works in all pages, and does have some have problems... i don't understand css, so, have a possibility to make this code work in only in a unique page (in case, home)? ~~SORRY for my bad english again haha~~
+Emanuel Cauê Sorry, Unfortunately - I don't know exactly yet. Need to figure it out. But I just suggest that you a different "H tag" for the page that you don't want it to re-size for? Or have you used them all up? Cheers, Hogan.
Nice tut but this is using a theme that you already have (from ithemes). Would be nice to know how to do from scratch (like, how to pull in an image as a background and place your call-to-actions buttons).
I just wanted to say that I think I Have looked at EVERY web theme posted on UA-cam for the world to download. I think Hogan has THE best looking theme I have had the pleasure of working with. It is incredibly professional and clean. Its also easy to work with. I also think Hogan is easy to understand and takes his time explaining every detail you need to know. It is by far the most the best theme available free OR for sale...and he has posted it for free download to construct. Im also thoroughly impressed with him being available to you if you have an issue...even the smallest! He WILL get back with you! Flipping awesome mate! Thanks very much and thanks for posting this awesome theme!

Thank you very much Hogan. I really appreciate your help. I followed your advice and I was able to make my website from scratch. I haven't finished it completly, but here is how it is getting www.dynamicenglish.com.br/blog/wordpress
+Willian Sobral Thank you Willian! :) Good work, the only thing I'd recommend it to use some better pics for the feature boxes :) they seem too "stock" and it will make your website so much better if you add amazing pics! Good luck.
Just wanted to send out heartfelt thanks for the video, 480 hours well spent sir! 61 year old contractor wanting his own website....you are responsible for helping make that dream come true. Still pluggin thru but the journey has been made possible by your dedicated efforts. Thank you, sir!
i bought the developer memebership a couple days ago, from watching this video... didnt even get 20 minutes in and i knew i struck gold. i didnt read the description, i just typed in themify and bought it on splt. like i lost my mind in seeing its awesomeness, and it truly is freakin awesome. i bought developers membership... i can see buying anotber year. the updates are incredible, everyday already something new or updated. im so please, best tools ever. thank you, you stuff is amazing and your tutorials and freebies to share... its beautiful.
My giddy gumdrops... I am so impressed with this "how to" your voice is clear, you speak at the exact speed to hold attention, no ums and ars. You are clear precise and I am keeping up - 57 year old THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH - I am humbled and cannot wait for my next free day to carry this out. My giddy gumdrops.
bro! you killed it, man! i truly appreciate it! I have had Themify for about 2 months & was racking my brain, trying to make a website worth a look! I was spinning my wheels in mud until i found your tutorial! Thanks sooooo much!!!!
I am exactly 36 minutes into this video and I'm already blown away by your effort, Hogan. I'm an experienced web designer... probably making sites before you were born :) ... and I've learned so much already! I can't wait to implement it. Excellent work!!!
Hogan you must be a teacher at heart. Inspired by what you have learned - and gifted at passing it along. Now to put your lessons to work. Many thanks.
A long, long time ago I was creating websites. This was waaaaay back when Dreamweaver was "the" web design program. When I was asked to take over a non-profit organization's website that was created in Wordpress, I was baffled. I almost purchased a monthly membership with an online web design builder. Then I started watching this video. I was redesigning the actual website while watching this video. IT WAS AN EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! I say this with some authority as I am actually an IT trainer's trainer (I train IT trainers) by profession. Thank you for such a wonderful service!
I just finished watching this tutorial for the second time. My website is built and my next goal is to customize it while getting clearer on what I need it to be. I've learned so much during this process. I feel that Hogan nailed it with what he was trying to achieve. Best website tutorial on youtube and going strong. We need more people like Hogan Chua in this world that much I know. Thank you so much Hogan for helping me on my journey. You have gained a place in my heart, now let's do this!
Like you said in the end of your video, I really do think this is the best tutorial for building a website using wordpress in the world. I have spent days on end watching tutorials and finally, I find yours that resonates with me. So well done. The last few seconds actually made me tear up. You have shared the Love and are helping turn my fears into inspiration.
I built my very first website, using your video. It took me few weeks to do it a little at the time but your video made it possible. I tried couple of other videos before this one. But I gave up on them because they were confusing for me. Your tutorial is very clean, right to the point and a true step by step instruction. Thank you Hogan
35 mins in and this video is most probably the best one ive come across so far! ive seen it a few times and was put of by the large time stamp. glad im finally watching! thanks so much! this is actually amazing!

Hey Hogan, Thanks for a great WordPress tutorial and theme. I've viewed a lot of UA-cam tutorials in an effort to learn WordPress and create great, responsive websites for my projects. Most of the tutorials are poorly done. Some are pretty good. But only yours has seemed to answer all my questions and given me the feeling like I can do everything I want to do with my websites. Keep up the great work. You are making a positive difference!
It worked on the back end! It screwed things up as far as the columns etc but I fixed them quickly. Very Grateful for you Hogan. Great to end the day with a success. Cant wait to get this built out and start growing again.
Wow, this is by far the best tutorial on any topic that I have watched on UA-cam. Not to mention the best accompanying written documentation as well. You have to do an advanced version! You have a talent, sir.
Pretty Awesome Job here Hogan. This is the best How to video I have seen for wordpress on youtube, and you should be pretty proud of yourself. You have some great skills and I know it will work for you!
+William Dalessi Thank you so much! It would be absolutely awesome if you can help me out because so I know how I can better serve you/others: everlastseo.wufoo.eu/forms/simple-3-questions-survey/
What a great job that you have done on this! I'm inspire to believe that I can actually do this by myself I tried to follow another tutorial and yours just seems easier to follow. Thank you! As a small business owner there usually isn't enough money to go around to have something specifically built.
Hey Hogan, I like you to know that you have achieved your objective. I AM INSPIRED. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your vision and effort. 3 hours video !!, this is EPIC. I wish you all the success in your future.
OK, Hogan...I'm only half way through and already I'm starting to see the site I've been trying to set up for months.... You're a star!!! Thank you :-)
+Deirdre Knight I totally agree, I have been struggling too for months trying to understand the 'WP Magic'. And then this guy provides the keys in a simple way that everyone can understand how to open up Wordpress.
Dude, I was told to revamp our website for a nonprofit I work for. I had no idea what I was doing and got to the point where I did not want to do it anymore. You helped me out a lot. Thanks man
Hogan! I'm in minute 36 and LOVING your tutorial. I'd love to share my results once I'm done. THANK YOU for making this possible. Goodbye to writing code and Adobe's website editors!
Thank's Hogan, gonna go try some edits now. It makes sense to work within the theme. I can't express the joy I experience while working in WordPress and the confidence that you inspire (no pun intended) to keep learning. Undoubtedly the best tutorials (for me, anyway) available. I wish you all the best sir and appreciate all the work you've done to help us learn. J.R.
Hogan Im really impressed from your professionalism and charisma. Your voice is so calm and your guidance is brilliant ...so easy to follow.I learn so much from you and the journey its self is pleasant.My deepest gratitude to you my dear I see your love and presence in all of your work...is just amazing.Thank you for sharing your gift!!!
Hi Hogan with your help I see that my site start to look the way my heart desire and I love that but I would like to ask you to take a part and help me to develop it with your mind, heart and hands on it and I will pay you the amount you feel that is right to you by expressing and grounding my gratitude .I share the same AIM(I'm) like you to serve people to transform their fears into excitement by reminding them how to construct and designed their own reality's.I believe that together we are stronger and more effective , I love your work and I'm wiling to work together. If you are resonating with my message please contact me at xxxallistarxxx@gmail.com for more information.Thank you in advance! The site that I work for tree days is www.allistar-academy.com and I prefer to make it as online learning center. Have a great day my friend!
Pretty Awesome Job here Hogan. This is the best How to video I have seen for wordpress on youtube, and you should be pretty proud of yourself.. thanks..
Hi, I want to thank you for your amazing easy to follow tutorial. When I first grappled with the idea of creating my own website I was anxious because I have no experience. Your tutorial has alleviated most of my fears and has made the experience a fun one. Keep up the good work!
+Carl Kitefin Hi Carl, you dont have to buy it. Many people are using it for free. So you can get started for free. If you want support/updates you can get it :) Unlike many tutorials which show you a free theme, but if you need support the only option you have is to hire a developer if you run into any problems, which cost a ton more ;)
+Carl Kitefin You can download it from my website, if you watch a bit further down. It's under the GNU license even though its premium paid theme. I have permission to share it with you guys. I started using it for one of my local business sites (best one I've used) and found that everyone sells themes but never go into how to make a website using it. That's why I made it, not trying to get people to just buy it but rather trying to help those who were in the same place I was. If you are looking to make a WordPress website for beginners then you won't get a more comprehensive tutorial for free. Hope you understand. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers Hogan.
Hogan! I learnt so much from your video, thank you so much. 20 years ago, we used to hard-code all our web pages blind...none of this wysiwyg. I used to get existed just to make flashing yellow text. This is so cool. Anyway, you're a very good teacher and thanks for making all the steps logical and clear.
If you have time, watch this video, get inspired and then use the time you'd use to watch telly to create a fantastic website. Thanks Hogan. I'm your newest fan!!!
I have watched a quite a few of these how to build website videos and your themify theme and clear explanations has made it so easy for a newbie DIY, i have completed building my first website in a three days thank you very much. I spent a few hundred dollars on other themes that promised a lot and all i got was frustration. I am motivated to conquer website building now!
Thank you for this video Hogan. I will be sharing this link on our site when it is live. Appreciate your sharing this information with all of us, thank you for your hard work...
Hello Hogan.. Thank You very Much for the Help you gave me. Specially for the quick answers and everything. Just wanna pass by your channel and and thank you a lot. I wish you the best and a lot success with what you are doing! A lot of people appreciate it! Regards Tiago
Hogan. Thank you very much for the excelent tutorial and the themify theme. I followed the whole tutorial and it took me 8 hours to create the site while watching and pausing the video. I do like the themify plugin and I think I will purchase it. You also gained a new subscriber.. :)
+badejong Thank you for your kind words :) Glad it helped you out! And yes, I do highly recommend it if you're serious about your website as the support is like having a teacher beside you in an exam! Don't forget to use HOGAN for a 30% discount. Good luck:) Hogan
only about 10 minutes in on my second time through your wonderful tutorial. It seems I owe you special thanks again! ...getting easier and easier...thank you sir and best wishes. Very cool!
awesome tutorial champ. the steps where easy to follow and the end result is impressive. hi-5 on a job well done. keep up the good work. cant wait to check out your other videos.
I love the tutorial, Hogan! Thank you so much for this level of detail. It really works when I follow along. (Although, it's taking me much longer than three hours to finish my site... hahaha.)
Thank you a lot, you just saved me and all of us who watched your tutorial $40-$70 minimum what we would pay for the individual theme for WP. Thank you once more, and as Denzel mentioned it is not how much you have and ear it is how much you do with it and what impact did you leave. I can tell you one thing, your impact is tremendous. Best regards, and looking forward to your new videos.
Great work Hogan. Just what I needed to improve the look of my website. I will be working on my website improvement slowly but surely. thanks for sharing.
+Krix Thank you very much! Congrats :) Yes, it is truly an amazing video - I tried to include many of the important things so people can get the skills they need to build their own unique website:) Cheers, Hogan.
You did a fantastic job! So thorough for just a 3 hour guide. I was wondering if you know how to decrease the automatic padding between the different layers. Like the black background behind the front page video, for and example. The modules seem to create a spacer that can't be reduced.
Bro thanks a mill for this video was about to give up on wordpress. There is just no simple instructions for it anywhere thought it was the most overhyped piece of crap. Your vid is simple and makes a professional looking site - many thanks!!!
Hogan, Thanks for the extremely informative and descriptive tutorial! I think I'll use Themify for my next build. I do however want to make a point regarding your casual approach and advice about logos and how to 'get' one. I am a designer and brand specialist, and can only begin tell you how harmful that advice can be to someone who is starting a business. You stress how important it can be to have an appealing website, but then take such a lax position on the actual mark they will be using to represent their entire brand. A brand is formed by many facets and decisions, but the most integral part of a brand is the brand mark, or logo. I have sent countless cease and desist emails to people claiming to be designers on Fiverr who are trying to pass off my work as theirs. Sites that promote 'design contests' are considered speculative or 'spec' sites, which means that one artist gets paid for his or her efforts, and the other 30 do not. Do you get to sample 30 different dishes at a restaurant before you decide which one is best and will be paid for? It's bad for the design industry as well as the end client. Morals aside, the haphazard way people approach branding has alone caused tens of thousands of businesses to fail. People who are trying to win a contest don't know or try to understand your company and what will help it succeed; they try to throw a couple of cool designs out there as quickly as possible so they can move on to the next contest and maximize their chances of 'winning'. Essentially they are gambling with your image. The face of a business is no casual matter... You seem very thorough on many of your points, but I think you should take a brief moment to discuss just what should go into choosing a logo. Just as much, if not more than the time dedicated to the website.
+Jesse LuBera Thank you for taking your time for some feedback, I see your point and I understand you are trying to help me see a different angle which is always good :)
This is very generous of you Hogan. I watched the whole tutorial and I'd like to thank you. I hope those passwords etc you showed us have been changed, lol Yes, we did - 4101 likes
You can not imagine how much you have helped me!! BEST TUTORIAL EVER I thank you very much. A big hug from Spain P.S: I registered on UA-cam just to be able to write to you
Just 2 questions: - How can I change the colour of the cross that appears in the Navigation Menu when I use tablet or phone? The one in the right up corner that turns when you click it. - I have a logo image in two colour, how can I make it change the colour when you click it? Some kind of Logo Hover using two images... I WILL REALLY APRECIATE ANY HELP
Hello Hogan, this is like one of the best and most detailed tutorial on youtube ever!! but i have a question, is it possible to export the finished website into Dreamweaver?
Hey Hogan, even i haven´t seen your video until the end i have to say right now, that´s impressive man. Very good work and explanation. Thanks very much for this. Greetz, Carlos.
+Hogan Chua Hey Hogan, so i watched your video a few times and i´m working since one week on my new website. Here is my short comment: AMAZING! Thanks again for your incredible work. One little problem: I cannot change the color and font of the site title (Customize - Themify Options - Advanced Options - Site Logo and Tagline). The preview is ok, but it appears still in black and wrong font. Greetz, Carlos
Hi Carlos, I got just the solution:) Watch: ua-cam.com/video/1HOJ1NsbKc0/v-deo.html starting at 5:27...for that problem. However, highly recommended watching whole video :) P.S if you haven't already, please give the videos a like/share - it helps me out a little and would be much appreciated. TQ :)

Hi and thanks this has been brilliant at getting me started. Clear, simple step by step instructions. A quick question, when working and on my website (on laptop) the font on my home page is fine but on mobile and tablet font is completely different? I think this started when I was changing fonts in the customise tab but have gone through all the settings and cant see anything out of place... hope you can advise many thanks
Hi Hogan. With work and family commitments it's taken me a little while to finish the tutorial but I DID IT!!!. Whoopee. Thank you so much for your earlier assistance and a big shout of THANK YOU for sharing. Its late so I'm know going to crawl to bed as it's an early start and a busy day ahead. You are amazing. Keep up the good work.:-) ps only one problem is with the Mail Chimp plugin, it didn't have the image of the chimp but a pig so had to leave out that part. I have the same problem with the file extension rar not loading -will email you.
Amazing tutorial helped me immensely, I will link a the site I made using your instructions once am done thank you very much :) i can't understand why any one would not like this vid its step by step.
Hi Hogan, GREAT tutorial! Wanted to get instructions on how to make a transparent (if possible) CTA off to the side of home page that scrolls up and down as you scroll. Thanks!
Hi Hogan Thanks to you I was able to change my first theme so I could renew my website in such a beautiful way. I did use some of the pictures, but most of all added my own pictures, videos etc. My website has never looked that good.
My website is sariahsofficialmusic.com/ . I even added something extra to the contact form. So that people receive a free download when they leave a message :)

+Hogan Chua Hi man, i'm here again, to report a little problem with a code:
@media screen and (max-width: 480px){
h1 {
font-size:3em!important;
}
h3 {
font-size:1.2em!important;
}
h4 {
font-size:2em!important;
}
}
this code works in all pages, and does have some have problems...
i don't understand css, so, have a possibility to make this code work in only in a unique page (in case, home)?
~~SORRY for my bad english again haha~~
+Emanuel Cauê Sorry, Unfortunately - I don't know exactly yet. Need to figure it out. But I just suggest that you a different "H tag" for the page that you don't want it to re-size for? Or have you used them all up? Cheers, Hogan.
Just did the whole tutorial. To anyone who think about taking this tutorial: don't think, just do it! NOW!
Thanks a lot. Easy to understand
*Check out my most recent post:* hoganchua.com/ultimate-resources-building-wordpress-website-blog/ (I think you'll love it!)
very interesting! do you have any idea about 4.5 wordpress upgrade breaking the links?
Nice tut but this is using a theme that you already have (from ithemes). Would be nice to know how to do from scratch (like, how to pull in an image as a background and place your call-to-actions buttons).
+Kelly Chen you will have to learn programming for that.
Rajiv Reddy you are right but there are landing pages for that, and plugins.
+Kelly Chen CSS and HTML is a good start.

This is by far the best youtube tutorial video ever , simple, sincere, honest and very inspiring at same time. Thank you Hogan Chua
+Jamil Kpoumie Thank you!
bro! you killed it, man! i truly appreciate it! I have had Themify for about 2 months & was racking my brain, trying to make a website worth a look! I was spinning my wheels in mud until i found your tutorial! Thanks sooooo much!!!!
I am exactly 36 minutes into this video and I'm already blown away by your effort, Hogan. I'm an experienced web designer... probably making sites before you were born :) ... and I've learned so much already! I can't wait to implement it.
Excellent work!!!
+originalsuki Thank you!
Hogan you must be a teacher at heart. Inspired by what you have learned - and gifted at passing it along. Now to put your lessons to work. Many thanks.
+Mark Nelson Thank you Mark! :)
A long, long time ago I was creating websites. This was waaaaay back when Dreamweaver was "the" web design program. When I was asked to take over a non-profit organization's website that was created in Wordpress, I was baffled. I almost purchased a monthly membership with an online web design builder. Then I started watching this video. I was redesigning the actual website while watching this video. IT WAS AN EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! I say this with some authority as I am actually an IT trainer's trainer (I train IT trainers) by profession. Thank you for such a wonderful service!
+Sammi Maon Thank you for the kind words :)
I just finished watching this tutorial for the second time. My website is built and my next goal is to customize it while getting clearer on what I need it to be. I've learned so much during this process. I feel that Hogan nailed it with what he was trying to achieve. Best website tutorial on youtube and going strong. We need more people like Hogan Chua in this world that much I know. Thank you so much Hogan for helping me on my journey. You have gained a place in my heart, now let's do this!
Thank you for your kind words :)
Like you said in the end of your video, I really do think this is the best tutorial for building a website using wordpress in the world. I have spent days on end watching tutorials and finally, I find yours that resonates with me. So well done. The last few seconds actually made me tear up. You have shared the Love and are helping turn my fears into inspiration.
I built my very first website, using your video. It took me few weeks to do it a little at the time but your video made it possible. I tried couple of other videos before this one. But I gave up on them because they were confusing for me. Your tutorial is very clean, right to the point and a true step by step instruction.
Thank you Hogan
+Cyrus International Realty Corporation Thank you for your kind words :) Cheers, Hogan.
35 mins in and this video is most probably the best one ive come across so far! ive seen it a few times and was put of by the large time stamp. glad im finally watching! thanks so much! this is actually amazing!
+Jensen Brown Haha thank you, Yes! Huge time stamp hehe, probably put a lot people off - but they are missing out! :) Cheers, Hogan. Good luck too!
You are the man! The world needs more positive people like you.

Hey Hogan, Thanks for a great WordPress tutorial and theme. I've viewed a lot of UA-cam tutorials in an effort to learn WordPress and create great, responsive websites for my projects. Most of the tutorials are poorly done. Some are pretty good. But only yours has seemed to answer all my questions and given me the feeling like I can do everything I want to do with my websites. Keep up the great work. You are making a positive difference!
Thank you for your kind words :) Cheers, Hogan.
Thanks Hogan for this tutorial! Absolutely love the music and imagery! I felt inspired just watching your video! Keep posting. Fan for life!
Thank you Brian !
It worked on the back end! It screwed things up as far as the columns etc but I fixed them quickly. Very Grateful for you Hogan. Great to end the day with a success. Cant wait to get this built out and start growing again.
Wow, this is by far the best tutorial on any topic that I have watched on UA-cam. Not to mention the best accompanying written documentation as well. You have to do an advanced version! You have a talent, sir.
+miyawam Thank you!
Pretty Awesome Job here Hogan. This is the best How to video I have seen for wordpress on youtube, and you should be pretty proud of yourself. You have some great skills and I know it will work for you!
+William Dalessi Thank you so much! It would be absolutely awesome if you can help me out because so I know how I can better serve you/others: everlastseo.wufoo.eu/forms/simple-3-questions-survey/
Mate, i've watched a couple of videos of yours now and they're super helpful. You're really great at this and what you do. Keep it up man!
Thank you so much for your kind words :D
Cheers,
Hogan
What a great job that you have done on this!
I'm inspire to believe that I can actually do this by myself
I tried to follow another tutorial and yours just seems easier to follow. Thank you!
As a small business owner there usually isn't enough money to go around to have something specifically built.
Hey Hogan, I like you to know that you have achieved your objective. I AM INSPIRED.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your vision and effort. 3 hours video !!, this is EPIC.
I wish you all the success in your future.
Thank you very much for your kind words . Good luck!
OK, Hogan...I'm only half way through and already I'm starting to see the site I've been trying to set up for months.... You're a star!!! Thank you :-)
+Deirdre Knight I totally agree, I have been struggling too for months trying to understand the 'WP Magic'. And then this guy provides the keys in a simple way that everyone can understand how to open up Wordpress.
Dude, I was told to revamp our website for a nonprofit I work for. I had no idea what I was doing and got to the point where I did not want to do it anymore. You helped me out a lot. Thanks man
+Zach Ubaldini Awesome! Glad I could help :)
Hogan! I'm in minute 36 and LOVING your tutorial. I'd love to share my results once I'm done. THANK YOU for making this possible. Goodbye to writing code and Adobe's website editors!
Thank you. Let me know how if u have troubles.
Wow, the best UA-cam instructional video I've ever watched. Thanks very much for taking the time to teach us.
Your welcome!
It is an inspiring tutorial. Clear and concise..., guiding newcomers to webdesign terrain like me. Thanks Hogan!

Hey Hogan, absolutely wonderful video I ever saw. I was searching for this kinda stuff so very useful for my biz. Hats off to you. God bless you.
Thank's Hogan, gonna go try some edits now. It makes sense to work within the theme. I can't express the joy I experience while working in WordPress and the confidence that you inspire (no pun intended) to keep learning. Undoubtedly the best tutorials (for me, anyway) available. I wish you all the best sir and appreciate all the work you've done to help us learn. J.R.

Pretty Awesome Job here Hogan. This is the best How to video I have seen for wordpress on youtube, and you should be pretty proud of yourself..
thanks..
+Vishal Hinukale Thank you!
Hi, I want to thank you for your amazing easy to follow tutorial. When I first grappled with the idea of creating my own website I was anxious because I have no experience. Your tutorial has alleviated most of my fears and has made the experience a fun one. Keep up the good work!
+Cynthia Contreras Thank you for your kind words!
After 5 mins of video, you'll realize he's promoting Themify themes and builder which you actually have to buy. Great job!!
+Carl Kitefin Hi Carl, you dont have to buy it. Many people are using it for free. So you can get started for free. If you want support/updates you can get it :) Unlike many tutorials which show you a free theme, but if you need support the only option you have is to hire a developer if you run into any problems, which cost a ton more ;)
Hogan Chua Probably I'm mistaken, please educate me which part of Themify themes or theme builder are available for free?
+Carl Kitefin You can download it from my website, if you watch a bit further down. It's under the GNU license even though its premium paid theme. I have permission to share it with you guys. I started using it for one of my local business sites (best one I've used) and found that everyone sells themes but never go into how to make a website using it. That's why I made it, not trying to get people to just buy it but rather trying to help those who were in the same place I was. If you are looking to make a WordPress website for beginners then you won't get a more comprehensive tutorial for free. Hope you understand. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers Hogan.
This is a great tutorial, very detailed and easy to follow.
Thank you Hogan.
+Jack Vainer Thank you :)
Brilliant tutorial - great speed, pleasant voice and great sense of style... You Rock - Hogan Chua - Thanks:)
Thank you for your kind words :)
wow. seriously you are killing it man. Didn't even know you were giving away all of the addons for free. Dude u r the man Hogan
Hi NoName,
Sure. Thanks for your kind words :D
Cheers,
Hogan
Hogan! I learnt so much from your video, thank you so much. 20 years ago, we used to hard-code all our web pages blind...none of this wysiwyg. I used to get existed just to make flashing yellow text. This is so cool. Anyway, you're a very good teacher and thanks for making all the steps logical and clear.
+Wayne Somcher your welcome :) glad it could help you ! :) Cheers, Hogan.
This is magic! Thanks for the tutorial Hogan!
WOW Hogan!! This tutorial was just AMAZING!! I love you, have been struggling for a long time to make my website! Not anymore!
+Jonas Spruyt Thank you for your kind words :) Cheers, Hogan.
If you have time, watch this video, get inspired and then use the time you'd use to watch telly to create a fantastic website. Thanks Hogan. I'm your newest fan!!!
Thanks Mathew :)
I have watched a quite a few of these how to build website videos and your themify theme and clear explanations has made it so easy for a newbie DIY, i have completed building my first website in a three days thank you very much. I spent a few hundred dollars on other themes that promised a lot and all i got was frustration. I am motivated to conquer website building now!
Thank you for this video Hogan. I will be sharing this link on our site when it is live. Appreciate your sharing this information with all of us, thank you for your hard work...

A fantastic video experience! UA-camrs should take note. Hogan Chua you have inspired me.
+David McCaffrey Thank you!
I love the tutorial, Hogan! Thank you so much for this level of detail. It really works when I follow along. (Although, it's taking me much longer than three hours to finish my site... hahaha.)
+Heather Bogaty Your welcome!
Thank you a lot, you just saved me and all of us who watched your tutorial $40-$70 minimum what we would pay for the individual theme for WP.
Thank you once more, and as Denzel mentioned it is not how much you have and ear it is how much you do with it and what impact did you leave. I can tell you one thing, your impact is tremendous. Best regards, and looking forward to your new videos.
Great work Hogan. Just what I needed to improve the look of my website. I will be working on my website improvement slowly but surely. thanks for sharing.
+digitalacademiclifestyle Your welcome!
P.S like and share the video, if you haven't already! Thank you!
This is a great tutorial and you are very good teacher :) Great tips and tricks... thank you!
your video has greatly helped me learn to create a website using WordPress... Great job, man.
+Allen Grayam Thank you :) Good luck, share your site here when done or on my facebook :)
Dude, thank you so much for making this tut. It took me a few days to get through it, but it was insanely helpful!
+Krix Thank you very much! Congrats :) Yes, it is truly an amazing video - I tried to include many of the important things so people can get the skills they need to build their own unique website:) Cheers, Hogan.
You did a fantastic job! So thorough for just a 3 hour guide. I was wondering if you know how to decrease the automatic padding between the different layers. Like the black background behind the front page video, for and example. The modules seem to create a spacer that can't be reduced.
Man, Thank you So much .. you are really inspiring .. you made me feel like an expert in Wordpress in just a few days .. Greetings from Kuwait
+MrRooney182 Thank you !! :) Glad it help you out!
Bro thanks a mill for this video was about to give up on wordpress. There is just no simple instructions for it anywhere thought it was the most overhyped piece of crap. Your vid is simple and makes a professional looking site - many thanks!!!
Thank you your kind words, let me know if you have any questions :)
Hogan,
Thanks for the extremely informative and descriptive tutorial! I think I'll use Themify for my next build.
I do however want to make a point regarding your casual approach and advice about logos and how to 'get' one. I am a designer and brand specialist, and can only begin tell you how harmful that advice can be to someone who is starting a business. You stress how important it can be to have an appealing website, but then take such a lax position on the actual mark they will be using to represent their entire brand.
A brand is formed by many facets and decisions, but the most integral part of a brand is the brand mark, or logo. I have sent countless cease and desist emails to people claiming to be designers on Fiverr who are trying to pass off my work as theirs. Sites that promote 'design contests' are considered speculative or 'spec' sites, which means that one artist gets paid for his or her efforts, and the other 30 do not. Do you get to sample 30 different dishes at a restaurant before you decide which one is best and will be paid for? It's bad for the design industry as well as the end client.
Morals aside, the haphazard way people approach branding has alone caused tens of thousands of businesses to fail. People who are trying to win a contest don't know or try to understand your company and what will help it succeed; they try to throw a couple of cool designs out there as quickly as possible so they can move on to the next contest and maximize their chances of 'winning'. Essentially they are gambling with your image.
The face of a business is no casual matter... You seem very thorough on many of your points, but I think you should take a brief moment to discuss just what should go into choosing a logo. Just as much, if not more than the time dedicated to the website.
+Jesse LuBera Thank you for taking your time for some feedback, I see your point and I understand you are trying to help me see a different angle which is always good :)
This is very generous of you Hogan. I watched the whole tutorial and I'd like to thank you.
I hope those passwords etc you showed us have been changed, lol
Yes, we did - 4101 likes
Your welcome, yes of course ahah
You can not imagine how much you have helped me!! BEST TUTORIAL EVER
I thank you very much. A big hug from Spain
P.S: I registered on UA-cam just to be able to write to you
Just 2 questions:
- How can I change the colour of the cross that appears in the Navigation Menu when I use tablet or phone? The one in the right up corner that turns when you click it.
- I have a logo image in two colour, how can I make it change the colour when you click it? Some kind of Logo Hover using two images...
I WILL REALLY APRECIATE ANY HELP
Hello Hogan, this is like one of the best and most detailed tutorial on youtube ever!!
but i have a question, is it possible to export the finished website into Dreamweaver?
Hey Hogan, even i haven´t seen your video until the end i have to say right now, that´s impressive man. Very good work and explanation. Thanks very much for this. Greetz, Carlos.
+Carlos Goethe Thank you for your kind words :) Cheers, Hogan.
+Hogan Chua Hey Hogan, so i watched your video a few times and i´m working since one week on my new website. Here is my short comment: AMAZING! Thanks again for your incredible work. One little problem: I cannot change the color and font of the site title (Customize - Themify Options - Advanced Options - Site Logo and Tagline). The preview is ok, but it appears still in black and wrong font. Greetz, Carlos
+Carlos Goethe Sorry, the fontstyle is ok. Just the color doesn´t work.
Hi Carlos, I got just the solution:)
Watch: ua-cam.com/video/1HOJ1NsbKc0/v-deo.html starting at 5:27...for that problem. However, highly recommended watching whole video :)
P.S if you haven't already, please give the videos a like/share - it helps me out a little and would be much appreciated. TQ :)
+Hogan Chua Works! Cool, thanks Hogan. Of course i clicked on "Thumbs up" :) Greetz, Carlos.
Hogan you are a great human. smiles to you.

Thanks, I appreciate your tutorial on Inspire, you did an excellent job sharing it.
Your welcome!
Hi and thanks this has been brilliant at getting me started. Clear, simple step by step instructions. A quick question, when working and on my website (on laptop) the font on my home page is fine but on mobile and tablet font is completely different? I think this started when I was changing fonts in the customise tab but have gone through all the settings and cant see anything out of place... hope you can advise many thanks
Thanks dude. The community owes you 'big time'. Very good karma!
+chorltonville Thank you very much, Cheers Hogan
Hi Hogan.
With work and family commitments it's taken me a little while to finish the tutorial but I DID IT!!!. Whoopee. Thank you so much for your earlier assistance and a big shout of THANK YOU for sharing. Its late so I'm know going to crawl to bed as it's an early start and a busy day ahead. You are amazing. Keep up the good work.:-) ps only one problem is with the Mail Chimp plugin, it didn't have the image of the chimp but a pig so had to leave out that part. I have the same problem with the file extension rar not loading -will email you.
