From the Wordpress course reviews:

"I am a 70 year old technophobe who has avoided anything concerning Wordpress. After reviewing all of Udemy's Wordpress courses, I selected Easy Wordpress by Uri Brilliant. I'm very glad I did becasue Uri couldn't have made Wordpress any easier to understand. For those who are afraid or doubtful as I was, I highly encourage you to enroll. The lessons are very short but complete and Uri's delivery is very none threatening. Sincerely, Mike Canavan"

"Building a website has been something I have wanted to do for a long time but was too intimidated. I am very pleased with how well Uri broke down each step into easy to understand instructions. I wish I had done this sooner! Can't recommend highly enough!" (Joshua Stein)

"Thanks Uri, you've managed to take a subject that looks hard and unfriendly and make it simple, easy and usable. The course is carried out in a pleasant, patient and even funny way :) Well designed, built in "Small steps" that enabled me to understand and try to implement :)" (Dafna Frenkel)
