Zakra Pro for Beginners: Build Your First WordPress Site Without Feeling Lost
If you have never built a website before, choosing a WordPress theme can feel like standing in front of a shelf full of boxes with no labels you understand. Zakra Pro is a good place to start because it does not ask you to design from a blank page. Instead, it gives you ready-made starting points, a live preview while you change things, and tools that work with the editors you are most likely to meet. This guide walks you from picking a starter site to a launch checklist you can actually finish in a weekend.

Start with the outcome, not the theme settings
Before you touch any setting, answer one question in a single sentence: what should a visitor do on your site? A business site might need visitors to request a quote. A blog needs readers to keep reading. An online shop needs people to find a product and check out without confusion. A portfolio needs a visitor to see your best work and contact you.
Write that sentence down. It will save you from the most common beginner mistake, which is spending three hours perfecting a footer nobody sees before the homepage makes sense. Zakra Pro comes with more than 100 ready-to-import starter sites covering business, eCommerce, magazine, blog, portfolio, and LMS layouts, so you can pick a starting point that already matches your goal instead of forcing a generic layout to fit.
Browse the starter sites with your sentence in mind. A restaurant, consultancy, or agency site has different needs from a magazine or an online course site, and the starter you choose sets the homepage sections, the menu style, and the general rhythm of the pages. You can change colours, text, and images later. What matters at this stage is structure: does the demo already have the sections you need, in an order that makes sense?
What you need before you install anything
You do not need coding knowledge to use Zakra Pro, but you do need three things ready: a WordPress site with hosting and a domain, an admin login, and a rough idea of your content. Gather your logo if you have one, a short description of what you do, contact details, and five or six photos or product images you are happy to publish. Beginners often stall because they import a beautiful demo and then realise they have no text or images of their own to replace the demo content. Rough drafts make the whole process faster.
It also helps to know that Zakra Pro works with Gutenberg, BlockArt, Elementor, and Brizy. If you are starting fresh and want the simplest path, Gutenberg with Zakra's own blocks is a calm, stable choice. If you already know Elementor, or a tutorial you trust uses it, you can build with Elementor instead. The theme does not force you into one editor, which is useful when you follow different tutorials later.
Import a starter site, then make it yours
Once Zakra Pro is active on your site, importing a starter site is the fastest way to see a real layout. Pick one starter, import it, and then resist the urge to import three more to compare. Importing repeatedly creates duplicate pages and menus that are confusing to clean up. Choose one, commit to it for a day, and change it gradually.
After import, replace the demo content in this order: first the site title and tagline, then the homepage headline and main button, then the images, then the inner pages. This order matters because it forces you to fix the most visible parts first. A visitor will forgive an unfinished inner page far more easily than a homepage that still says "Hello World" or shows stock photos from a business that is not yours.
Use the Live Customizer for the broad look of the site: colours, typography, header layout, and footer layout. Because you see changes live before you publish them, you can experiment without fear. Try one header style, look at it on a phone-sized preview as well as a desktop preview, and only then move on. Zakra Pro's customizable header and footer options, plus its typography controls, give you a lot of room, but restraint looks better than using every option at once. Pick two fonts at most and a small colour palette to repeat across buttons, links, and headings.
Pages every first site should have
No matter which starter you choose, most first sites need the same small set of pages: Home, About, Services or Products, Blog or News if you plan to publish regularly, and Contact. If you sell online, you will also need Shop, Cart, Checkout, and the standard WooCommerce pages, and Zakra Pro's WooCommerce integration means the shop pages inherit the theme's styling rather than looking like a separate site bolted on.
Keep each page focused. An About page does not need your life story; it needs who you are, who you help, and what to do next. A Services page does not need twenty services on day one; it needs the three or four things you actually offer, each with a short description and a clear next step. You can always add more later, and a short, finished site builds more trust than a long, half-empty one.
A simple approach to images and speed
Beginners often upload huge photos straight from a phone or camera, and then wonder why the site feels slow. Before uploading, resize images to a sensible width for their job — a full-width banner does not need to be several thousand pixels wide — and give each file a descriptive name. When you insert an image into a page, add alt text that describes what the image shows. This helps visitors using screen readers and helps search engines understand the page, and it is a habit worth building from your first site.
Start with the plugins you truly need, and add new ones one at a time so you can tell if something breaks the layout. If you plan to reach readers in more than one language, note that Zakra Pro offers WPML compatibility and is RTL-ready.
Check your site on a phone before you call it done
More visitors will likely meet your site on a phone than on a desktop, so preview every important page at mobile width. Check that the menu opens easily, buttons are large enough to tap, text does not run off the edge, and the main call to action is visible without scrolling through three screens of decoration. If a section looks crowded on mobile, simplify it rather than adding a workaround. A clean mobile layout is not a lesser version of your site; for many visitors, it is your site.
Also test the basics a visitor would test: click every menu link, submit the contact form to yourself, and if you sell anything, walk through a test purchase path to the checkout page. Broken links and silent forms are the two problems that quietly lose enquiries, and both are easy to catch in ten minutes before launch.
Launch checklist you can finish today
Use this list in order, and do not skip the boring items at the end. They are the ones that protect you after launch.
- Homepage headline, subheading, and main button say what you do and what to do next.
- Site title, tagline, logo, and favicon are set and look right on mobile.
- About, Services or Products, and Contact pages have real content, not demo text.
- Menu has five or six items, and every link works.
- Contact form delivers a test message to your inbox.
- Images have descriptive alt text and sensible file sizes.
- WooCommerce pages, if used, display correctly and the checkout path works.
- A backup routine is in place, and you know how to restore it or who to ask.
- The site has been viewed on a phone and a desktop, and nothing important is cut off.
Once those boxes are ticked, publish and tell people. You can refine typography, add blog posts, and expand pages over the following weeks. A launched site that you improve gradually beats a perfect site that never goes live.
Getting Zakra Pro in Bangladesh
The Zakra wordpress theme Lifetime Update Pro version is available at WP Theme Bazar for ৳1,020 on sale, against a regular price of ৳15,900 (price may change — see the product page for the current price). The official Agency Plan is listed at $199 per year on the product page (price may change — see the product page for the current price), and a free version of Zakra also exists on wordpress.org for anyone who wants to try the basic theme first. The lifetime option from WP Theme Bazar uses seller-assisted activation, which means the WP Theme Bazar team activates the original license directly on your site, and the private licence key is never shared with you. That distinction matters for beginners: you get the Pro features without having to manage license keys yourself.
One note to avoid confusion: the store also lists a separate Zakra Theme Lifetime product. Make sure you are looking at the Pro version page linked here if you want the Pro starter sites and Pro customization options described in this guide. If you are unsure which listing matches your plan, check the product name and page carefully before ordering.
For a first site, Zakra Pro's combination of starter sites, live customization, and compatibility with Gutenberg, Elementor, and other builders gives you room to learn without rebuilding later. Start with one starter, replace the content in order, test on a phone, and launch. You can learn the deeper options — advanced headers, custom layouts, and course or shop features — one project at a time, after the site is already working for you.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code to use Zakra Pro?
No. You can build a complete site using starter sites, the Live Customizer, and a page builder or Gutenberg blocks. Coding is optional and only becomes useful later if you want very custom layouts.
Which starter site should a complete beginner pick?
Pick the starter closest to your goal — business, shop, blog, magazine, portfolio, or course site — rather than the prettiest demo. Structure matters more than decoration, because you can change colours and images easily but restructuring a mismatched layout takes longer.
Can I switch starter sites later?
You can, but it is cleaner to commit to one starter and edit it. Importing several starters creates duplicate pages and menus that take time to untangle, so choose once and refine.
Does Zakra Pro work for an online shop?
Yes. It includes WooCommerce integration, so shop, product, cart, and checkout pages follow the theme's styling. You still need to set up products, payment methods, and shipping in WooCommerce itself.
What if I outgrow my first starter site?
That is normal. You can add pages, change the header and footer, adjust typography, and rebuild individual sections with your chosen builder without changing themes. The starter is a starting point, not a limit.
How does activation work when buying from WP Theme Bazar?
The WP Theme Bazar team activates the original license directly on your site with seller-assisted activation, and the private licence key is never shared. You get the Pro features on your site without managing the key yourself.
