Course Description

Discover how easy it is to quickly build amazing websites using WordPress, a free content-management system with a choice of templates that you can customize to suit your needs. This free online course is for anybody who is interested in website design but lacks coding or design experience. We guide you through setting up your WordPress site, choosing its appearance and filling it with relevant and compelling content. 

WordPress is unique in the sense that you don’t need any particular software or equipment, just an internet connection and an interest in web design. The classic ‘80s film ‘Field of Dreams’ claimed, “If you build it, they will come.” Unfortunately, this is not the case in web design and so we break down how to get found with Google using search engine optimization (SEO). This knowledge can bring many visitors to your page and represents a crucial marketable skill for the digital age.

WordPress is both easy for those starting out and powerful enough for more experienced developers. It is available in 180 languages and has millions of websites, blogs, online stores and applications. The platform can be hosted on any server and accessed in any browser. This versatility lets your imagination run wild as you build these features with your newfound skills. Wordpress allows you to self-publish so sign up to take control of this powerful and open-sourced platform and make your mark on the world.
