Take your theme that you have installed on your hosting account or make a new site and add a theme (it’s your choice).
Create a child theme and customise it using CSS and HTML (you can even try PHP if you are feeling brave). Add relevant elements to enhance your SEO. (permalinks, tags, categories etc).
The main idea here is to play around with the various options available for customisation.
Show us before and afters and your process, with a link to your site.
I did a lot of changes to the website and my theme, after making my child theme. I have also installed plug-ins. I changed the URLs so they dosent have the unnecessary numbers or characters. I did a lot of clean up and changed the website completely at one point.
I had added a theme and tried different options, but changed this eventually
This is where I started again and the page began to take form.
I did some more changes to the website and here it is when I was done:
