After you have logged in to WordPress, you will find the first steps in the dashboard, which you can customize as the basis for your website.

In the first step you can create a template with blocks, in the second step you can start customizing again. Here you can insert your logo, customize fonts, as well as the size and layout of how the pages should be built. In the left menu bar you can find all the areas you can customize in Cutomizer.

After you have selected the first section, you can edit this layout on the left menu bar. Now you can customize the background as you like, you can also insert an image as background or customize it in color as well.

When you are done with your homepage, you can simply click on the green Save button and get back to the WordPress editing page. Now click on Publish.

For this go to Settings -> Read, now you can click from your recent posts to a static page. Under Home you can now select the home page and save it. Now you can click again on your domain and see that your page is now the home page.
