WordPress is web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. It's the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

This course has over 5½ hours of step-by-step videos, text lectures, and links to helpful resources.
BONUS: By popular demand, I've included a free bonus section ("SECTION 13: Publishing your website") explaining how web publishing works. If you don't already have webhosting where you can install WordPress, you can start there!

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME?

The length of time it takes to complete this course depends on your availability and learning preference. You can power through all the video lectures in an afternoon, or pace yourself over several weeks –– it's up to you!

CAN I ASK QUESTIONS AND GET HELP?

Yes! You can post your questions and discuss problems with your fellow students in the course dashboard.
I'll also be personally checking in every week to answer questions and provide feedback. I look forward to meeting you!
