Choosing a Domain Name

But if you’re not an experienced web designer, then there are plenty of options for customizing a website template quickly and easily from the cPanel dashboard.
Integrating Themes and Plugins
Once your site looks great, it’s time to install themes and plugins so that everything works properly and looks as good as possible for visitors to your site. Fortunately, Bluehost has an app store where you can download thousands of free themes and plugins that are pre-approved by Bluehost so they won’t crash your website or put its security at risk.
