How can I make a website with wordpress with godadday hosting? I want to design the layout myself?

I know that most hosting allows you to create a website from their templates, but I want to design it myself and then upload onto the website template(backbone). I got my domain on GoDaddy and I don't want to use wordpress locally. 

Does anyone know a video that can help me out? or steps?

    Log into GoDaddy and

    1. create a database: https://www.godaddy.com/help/create-a-mysql-databa... and note down database name, username and password

    2. find / set up your FTP credentials so you can upload files directly to your hosting

    Next,

    3. download wordpress from wordpress.org: https://wordpress.org/latest.zip ad extract it

    4. Set up an FTP client (like FileZilla) to connect to your GoDaddy hosting using the FTP credentials from step 2 (you need FTP host, username and password)

    5. upload the extracted wordpress files directly to your hosting (wp-admin, index.php, etc.)

    6. visit your domain, and you should see the wordpress setup page, follow their instructions

    7. when asked, enter the DB credentials from step 1
