This course will guide you through every single step from installation to finished website.  I'll show you how you can install Wordpress on your own computer for free, so you don't have to pay for a domain name or hosting fees while you complete this course.  Once you've got Wordpress installed on your computer, you will learn how to build and run a successful, beautiful, responsive-design website you can be proud of. 

After taking you through all of the main options in Wordpress, explaining what everything does and showing you how to set things up, you can watch over my shoulder as we explore the many tools available to create pages, and build a beautiful site.  You'll learn how to use the Gutenberg editor to create your web page content, but also to edit the headers, footers, and templates on your site, so you can create the design you want.

I've even got some content you can import into test sites so you can follow along as we build three different types of website - A blog, a business site, and what I call a hybrid site.  WordPress is so versatile, you can create just about anything.

 Who is this Wordpress course for? 

Have you ever wanted to build a professional looking website, but didn't know where to start?  Now you can.  Wordpress for Beginners is a complete course for anyone, no matter what your technical ability.  This course assumes no prior knowledge!  

At the start of the course, I'll walk you through setting up Wordpress on your own computer so that you don't need to pay for a web host (or a domain name) while you master wordpress.  When you decide you want to put a website online, you can then watch over-my-shoulder as I buy a domain name and hosting, and install Wordpress online.

Whether you decide to host your site on your own computer, or at a web host, you'll be ready to start mastering Wordpress. We'll start at the very beginning by logging in to have a look around to familiarize ourselves with the main areas of the Dashboard.
