Online WordPress Training Course Overview
This course is conducted online by an Instructor using Zoom.
Our 2-day comprehensive Instructor-Led Online WordPress Training Course will equip computer literate individuals with no web design or coding experience with the knowledge and skills to design a complete professional WordPress website on their harddrives from scratch.
WordPress (https://wordpress.org) is free and open source software (FOSS).
Post Course Support
We have designed our Online WordPress Training Course in such a way, that at the end of a course you will be provided with a recording of the sessions with a view of you re-doing the course at your own space and time to internalise WordPress.
We will design a website using a particular theme. Within a week of the course, we will provide you with documentation and a video to design or re-design a website using a different theme. Click here to view the theme and how your website could look like. We will assist you if you get stuck within the two months of free online support. We will do minor CSS tweaks, excluding any custom development.
Click here to view a gallery of themes that are similar to the theme of which we will provide the videos and documentation. Our free support is limited to the theme mentioned above.
We are also able to make the videos and documentation available to anyone who might see a need for it at a fee. It is not training videos on how to design a website. The videos assume you have that knowledge.
