Create and Edit Pages: With the front-end page builder, you can visually create and edit pages. It usually involves dragging and dropping elements onto your page and customizing them as you see fit.


Responsive Design: Ensure that you design your pages to be responsive. Most front-end builders provide tools and options to preview and adjust how your content looks on different devices.


Step 4: Back-End Content Management

Create Posts and Pages: While the front-end editor allows you to visually design your pages, you can also create and manage content from the WordPress back end. This includes creating blog posts, adding new pages, and managing your media library.


Customize Settings: You can customize various settings for your website from the WordPress admin panel, including permalinks, reading settings, and more.

Step 6: SEO and Optimization

Optimize for SEO: Use an SEO plugin like Yoast SEO or RankMath to optimize your website for search engines. This includes setting up meta titles, descriptions, and optimizing content for keywords.

Speed and Performance: Ensure your website loads quickly by optimizing images, using caching plugins, and choosing a reliable hosting provider.
Step 7: Publish and Maintain
