Help?

I am an author. I purchased the Genesis Platform Author Pro theme. I have no idea what I am doing. Can anyone tell me how to get started building a professional site?

You can see the mess (no laughing) I have made here: tpjohnson.com.

Thank you

Building an amateur site is difficult. Building a professional one is only something a professional is going to be able to do. You'll probably need to hire someone. If you are approaching it in the spirit of DIY, then go for it. Just realize you'll probably put in a lot of time googling to make your site and it may not be very professional. With that said, there is a lot of help here for doing specific things related to Genesis. I feel like that's the best advice unless you have a more specific question.

All the best!

You can watch a very good, but basic video on Youtube to explain the BASICS.
Put together by a young man showing you all the steps.

Then you need to really spend some time with all the Studio Press tutorials.
Also there are experts with their own sites you can visit, some with a fee..
It is not really hard if you are willing to learn. And as you get more comfortable,
you will add to your skill set and the website you build can be updated.
