In recent years WordPress has become the defacto solution for designing a website or blog.
WordPress offers a powerful set of content management features and visually-rich design themes, enabling you to build and manage a site for an organization of any size.
This WordPress training course will provide you with the skills and best practice approach needed to successfully create and run your own website or blog.
Why have we created this WordPress course?
WordPress, albeit largely an intuitive software to use is also extremely powerful and has many sophisticated and advanced features that can add a lot of extra benefit to your website or blog. In addition, there are thousands of add-on products (called “plugins”)
that are freely available which can add additional features and functionality to your website
Our WordPress Essentials Training will not only teach you how to manage your own WordPress based website or blog, but will give you practical hands on experience, and ensure that you are maximising the benefits of WordPress for your specific
needs.
And therefore, we strongly believe that the best and most effective way to learn WordPress is hands-on, face to face, in a small class environment, with an experienced trainer. Nothing compares to instructor-led live help and guidance!
Better still you can get all this at a fraction of the price other training providers charge.
