WordPress Training Online
My 1 on 1 WordPress training covers all topics from installation through to customization, coding, performance optimizations – and everything in between. To save time we will focus on the things you and your business need to know in order for you to succeed.
What you need to learn and what you want to learn is the complete focus – you drive the session with your questions.
Group
WordPress Training
I offer a group based training session for between 2 and 6 people at rates starting from $25 per hour. The WordPress group training sessions cover the same topics as the 1-on-1 training and is driven by your questions and needs.
If your company has a few people who will maintain the website then it’s best if they all know how to do it properly.
Content Sites or
E-Commerce Sites
During the sessions we could work on either content sites or e-commerce sites. For the sake of ease let’s define a content site as a site containing articles, pictures or videos relating to your company or subject and define e-commerce sites as an online store.
It’s important to define which you’ll be working with before the training as it will make a big difference in the direction taken.
Purpose of the WordPress Test Site
As a bonus I am including a FREE WordPress installation after the training for you to use whenever you are starting work on your own site as I have found that people shy away from the installation.
You can test, practice and break things on the provided test site without worry of loosing or destroying your own site. If your interested in the installation process then let me know, I will show you how to install WordPress on your own server FREE outwith the cost of the training as well as the FREE WordPress installation offered after the training.
