Bespoke WordPress - 1 Day Introduction Training Course

Bespoke WordPress - 1 Day Introduction Overview

WordPress offers a powerful & flexible solution for designing a website or blog and is available as a free resource. The main software is built by hundreds of community volunteers and there is a wide range of plug-ins and themes available to enhance any site. This 1 day introduction course will provide you with the skills and best practice approach needed to successfully create and run your own website or blog.

On completing this 1 day course, you will be confidently using WordPress to create and implement visually exciting web sites. The course will take you right from installing and setting up WordPress through to customising WordPress with plug-ins and using themes to further enhance the design look of your site.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites

This course is designed for those who are new to web design and development and who want to get started with WordPress.

You will need basic PC or Mac skills, including a solid understanding of a computer's operating system (Windows or Mac OS). You will also need to know how to launch a program, create and save files, and copy files from CDs and other media. An understanding of HTML and CSS would be useful but is not essential. Ideally, you will have taken our HTML & CSS Combo Essentials Introduction 2 Day course.

Very good and extremely informative. Complicated enough to be challenging yet explained well enough to not put me off. Thanks!

Well paced. I would recommend the course for anyone who is starting with WordPress

Bob King, Department of Health, WordPress - 2 Day Introduction

Excellent course. I have a better understanding of WordPress and feel confident to make greater use of it by improving the website my company currently has. I only booked a one day course but will certainly consider booking the second day at a later stage.

Very pleased with the course - fast paced, we covered a lot, but our instructor was very happy to stop and go over things if anyone hadn't understood.
