Description

In this course you will learn how to create a small business website with WordPress. I go step by step through the process of creating the website from signing up for web hosting through creating a logo. Each lecture is short, and meant to be easy to follow along with. I use a default template and show how to make edits to it throughout each video to make it more of our own site by the end of the tutorial.

If you are just starting out with creating websites this is also the kind of project that you could add to your portfolio to show off the local businesses. Once you've created it you can save it and edit based off of it in the future to make it unique for other local businesses in a matter of minutes. If this all sounds good to you let's dive into the course!
