Requirements

  • This class is for beginners to intermediate level website designers/developers. I will be using WordPress and the Avada Theme. Some knowledge of domain name registration and website hosting will be helpful to know in order to setup your platform for building your website.

Description

Wordpress is a very powerful, very popular content management system (also called a CMS) that allows you to build a powerful website using plugins, built-in features, theme, and even a page builder.  Wordpress is older than Twitter and Facebook and has more than 50,000 free plugins available for you to use in building your sites.

In this class, we will review what WordPress is and how it works, and why you should use it to build your website. Then, I will show you how to download and use one of the most popular WordPress themes, Avada. It's a highly customizable and very easy to use theme that will allow you to easily build a professional and original WordPress website.

I will review every Avada Theme option, including global options that will allow you to update elements of the site from one location, and on-page options that will allow you to override the global options for that one particular page.

Avada is an amazingly powerful and customizable theme that will allow you to build a beautiful website with tons of built in features that will make your website eye-catching and professional.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner or intermediate users who want to be able to install a WordPress theme, then customize it to build out their website.

Great match for me, I have technical experience but not familiar with WordPress, or the Avada Theme. I was able to easily get my WordPress deployed on GoDaddy and install the Avada Theme based on the Installation Training portion. I was trying to match the staging of a company I just signed on to in order to build my knowledge and understanding to gain a comfort level with assigned task. Mission accomplished!
