My high-definition, high-quality video lessons ensure you learn the various features and settings found throughout the WordPress layout so that you know your way around the CMS (Content Management System) like the back of your hand. Plus, you'll learn how to create and manage site templates, pages, blog posts, and more.

Here's what current students are saying about the course:

"I really got a lot out of this course. It was a bit of a refresher for me as i used Wordpress about 10 years ago. The lecturer's voice and the audio in general is very clear and the talking is always relevant to what is happening, no mumbling or going off track. The lectures proceed at a reasonably fast pace, you can of course stop the video occasionally to keep up. The visuals and descriptions are good. You will build a website, step by step alongside the lecturer. I felt I learned quite a bit in terms of using WordPress, using the block editor, creating a website and general knowledge about the whole process. Well worth my time."

If you've always wanted to design your own website from scratch, but never quite knew the steps and never wanted to learn code, this is the perfect course for you! Whether you own a small business, run a side hustle, or simply want a personal website to showcase yourself, WordPress is a great platform for building professional sites in relatively short amount of time. By the time you've finished this course, you'll feel comfortable as you navigate through WordPress and its many useful features.

Plus, I integrate my knowledge of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) along the way - providing pointers and tips that I've used on client sites and my own sites to get more traffic. These SEO strategies have helped my main site reach 1,000,000 annual site visitors in back-to-back years (2020 and 2021). More site visitors usually leads to higher sales volume, which means more money for you and your business! I've been teaching or implementing SEO best practices for over 10 years, including teaching in-person SEO workshops here in the USA.

WordPress is an extremely popular free and open source Content Management System (CMS), and I hope you'll enjoy using it as much as I have over the years! You can ask me any questions you may have as you work through the course. Thanks for your interest in my course, and for those of you who decide to enroll - I'll see you in there!
