As I said in the title, I’m a beginner. I know this was probably asked a TON before but I’m not that good at using reddit and don’t know how to find the posts. Thing is, I know how to download wordpress and set up the website to exist, but I have absolutely NO CLUE how to move forward. I hate using WordPress. I don’t like it even a tiny bit, but the school I go to requires that i make a website with no prior knowledge of WordPress. We were “taught” the basics, so how to create a post or a page, how to add cookies and some plugins etc (we got 37 videos we had to watch and memorize), but not how to actually make a good website. It has to be optimized for search engines, it has to look good, include a ton of things we’ve never even done. I’m desperate and I should’ve come here sooner because the deadline is tomorrow, but I was sure youtube could help me. Turns out it really cant, and I’m just giving up tbh. If anyone has any type of good tutorial videos, websites, or anything that could lead me step by step, it’d be awesome.
More problems here, couldn’t add a pic here or post it in the comments, so; https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/s/faut66Y6Qj

You were given 37 videos to watch and still can’t figure it out? Or you didn’t watch the videos?
Making a site in a day, even if you know what you’re doing, is tough.
Astra is a good free theme that works with Elementor. It comes with templates so i’d suggest just importing one of those and changing out the colours and text.
SEO optimisation, I can’t imagine they’d be looking for more than installing an SEO app like Rank Math or Yoast.
Good luck.
What type of website do u need to make. U could use elementor free option if its something basic.
[My comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/s/HnhxGQjACc) from a little while back seems to answer a lot of this. Hopefully you get value out of it, cheers, and happy WP’ing.
