In this two day Beginners WordPress Course, we will cover all of the basics, enabling you to set up your website from scratch. You will learn how to register a domain name and add hosting, install WordPress onto your web server, apply different themes, create new pages, add images and text, create a navigation and add basic SEO. We will also show you how to turn your primary WordPress blog site into a fully functioning website. This course DOES NOT cover the e-Commerce side of WordPress; if you wish to learn about that, please contact us to arrange a custom course tailored to your needs.
Please note that we will cover purchasing your domain name and hosting in the course. Please DO NOT purchase these before the training. If you already have a domain name and hosting but wish to switch to a WordPress site, please contact us before booking.
Finally, we offer six months of email support on all of our courses. If you get stuck on something (as long as it's in your course outline), drop us an email, and your trainer will get back to you with a solution.
