Wordpress has a ‘learning curve’. It is user friendly and our programme brings you through the process from start to finish. But it does take time and effort. Check out my WordPress training page which talks about being ‘IT Competent’ and what that entails while the Training Workshops page outlines how WordPress can address a multitude of business needs in terms of implementing your digital strategy.
CREATE YOUR BUSINESS WEBSITE
The programme is structured as a ’20 step by step’ process to create a Website using WordPress.Handouts printed two slides to a page in full colour will be provided for reference. This is a ‘hands-on’ (the keyboard) programme.
Every website is different. During the programme you will learn how to leverage the power of WordPress to create a professional site to promote your business.
