WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system. It allows you to create and manage websites without any programming knowledge, and powers around 40% of the internet.
During this one-day course, we’ll cover how to install WordPress, create posts and pages, add media content, work with themes and plugins, and manage users.
Toward the end of the session, you’ll also learn how to attract more people to visit your blog or website. Through hands-on learning, you’ll leave with the skills you need to be able to create a WordPress site from scratch, or manage and customize an existing build.
Our WordPress course is available as a private training session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom or at a location of your choice in South Africa.
