  1. Setup WordPress

    Spin up or purchase a web hosting plan that supports or provides WordPress. If your web host does not provide a ready-to-use WordPress install, use the official installation guide. Read WordPress Tips for Building Car Dealer Websites.

    Visit the Adding or Importing Inventory page, and find out how best to update vehicle data. Use the Load Sample Vehicles feature to quickly populate the site with some inventory.

  4. Choose a Theme or Build Templates

    Try your favorite theme. (If you don’t have a favorite, try our favorites: Twenty Twenty Four, and Blocksy if you’re not ready for full-site-editing.)
