  • Hi there,

    Sorry to hear you’ve been having some trouble getting started. It’s definitely possible to set up a single page website, but by default when you first start your site it may show blog posts as the default homepage.

    In this case you will need to take the small step of setting a static homepage (into which you can add the entire contents of your one page site) instead of the blog functionality shown now.

    To do that you can create a new page and call it “Home” here: https://wordpress.com/pages/

    Once you have created your page, you can return to the settings for your site and tell WordPress to use it as your homepage here: https://wordpress.com/settings/writing/

    Do you happen to have any sites that you are drawing inspiration from or trying to emulate? I see you have your current site set to use a theme with a black background but we’re happy to take a look at any sites you’re drawing inspiration from and see if we offer another theme from our library that may offer a better starting point. https://wordpress.com/themes/

    Also since you are new to WordPress you may find this recent webinar on Compelling Homepages helpful. In it we show how to set up a custom homepage block by block so you can see our tools in action.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
