If you’ve ever dreamed of creating a FREE Tools Website with WordPress, you’re in the right place! In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up your own tools website, just like I did. Whether you’re a beginner or someone looking to expand your online presence, I’ll walk you through the steps to build a fully functional website without needing any coding skills. From choosing the right theme to integrating tools and optimizing for SEO, this blog covers everything you need to know.
Getting Started: The Basics
Before diving in, it’s essential to understand what a tools website is. This type of website can host various tools that users can access for different purposes—be it productivity, entertainment, or niche-specific tasks. You can create a page on your blog site where users can access these tools. If you’re using a theme like GeneratePress or any other, the process remains similar.
For those who might be intimidated by coding, don’t worry! Coding isn’t a prerequisite. I was in the same boat when I started. This guide will provide you with the necessary codes and step-by-step instructions to set everything up smoothly.
Step 1: Create Your Tools Page
The first step to launching your tools website is creating a dedicated page for your tools. Here’s how to do it:
- Log into your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to “Pages” and click on “Add New”.
- Set a title for your page, something like “Useful Tools”.
- Select the “No Sidebar” layout to give it a clean look.
- Click on the plus icon to add a new block.
- Select “Custom HTML” and paste the code you will receive later in this guide.
- Save it as a draft first, then preview it to see how it looks.

- In the HTML block you created, paste the following code:

</html>- Ensure the link points to the correct tool page.
- Save your changes and publish the page.
This tool allows users to download videos from Twitter effortlessly. Users can simply copy the video link, paste it into the downloader, select their desired format (like PNG or JPG), and download the video. The process is straightforward and user-friendly.
Step 3: Organize Your Tools
As you add more tools, it’s essential to keep them organized. You can create a section for each tool and provide a brief description of what it does. Here’s how to do it:
- For each new tool you add, use the same method as before.
- Include a heading for each tool followed by the description and the HTML code.
- Keep the layout consistent for a cohesive look.
Step 4: Customizing Your Tools Page
Customization is key to making your tools page visually appealing. Here are a few tips:
- Choose a clean and simple design for your tools page.
- Use relevant icons for each tool to make it visually engaging.
- Ensure that the links are working correctly and lead users to the tools without any hassle.
Step 5: Adding More Tools
Once you’ve set up your first tool, you can continue adding more tools using the same process. Each tool should have its unique section, and you can provide users with instructions on how to use them. As you grow your collection of tools, they will become more valuable to your audience.
Step 6: SEO Optimization
To ensure that your tools website gets the visibility it deserves, you need to focus on SEO:
- Use relevant keywords throughout your site, especially in the titles and descriptions of your tools.
- Consider using a plugin like Rank Math to help optimize your pages.
- Engage with your audience through comments and feedback to improve your tools.
Step 7: Monetization Strategies
Once your website is up and running, you might be wondering how to monetize it. Here are a few ideas:
- Consider affiliate marketing by linking to tools and products you recommend.
- Offer premium tools or features for a fee.
- Use ads to generate revenue from traffic.
