How to Build a Coupon or Price Comparison Website with the ReHub Theme

ReHub is a WordPress theme made for deals, coupons, price comparison and affiliate websites. This is the order I follow when I set one up for a client.

1. Start with fast hosting and a clean WordPress

Pick hosting with a current PHP version, enough memory and server-level caching. Install a fresh WordPress, enable HTTPS, set permalinks to Post name and remove themes and plugins you will not use.

2. Install ReHub and a child theme

Install the theme together with its child theme so your customizations survive updates. Activate the child theme, then install the plugins the theme recommends.

3. Import a demo, then simplify

ReHub ships with demos for coupons, deals, comparison and affiliate stores. Import the closest one, then delete the pages, widgets and demo content you do not need. A smaller site is faster and easier to manage.

4. Add products and offers

• Deals and coupons: create offer posts with price, old price, coupon code, expiry date and store link.
• Price comparison: pair the theme with a product data plugin such as Content Egg to pull offers from several merchants.
• Affiliate links: add your tracking IDs and show a clear affiliate disclosure.

5. Organize by store and category

Group offers into store pages and category pages, and add filters and search. This helps visitors and also gives Google clear pages to rank.

6. Speed and SEO basics

• Use a caching plugin or your host's cache.
• Compress images and use WebP.
• Keep heavy widgets out of the first screen.
• Use one SEO plugin for the sitemap and meta tags.
• Test with PageSpeed Insights and fix the biggest issues first.

7. Keep it maintained

Update the theme and plugins regularly, keep backups, and remove expired coupons. Old offers and broken links hurt trust and rankings.
