WordPress Training - Running Your WordPress Website

Running Your WordPress Website Workshop

This WordPress training course is perfect if you are interested in creating your own website or business owner like a Virtual Assistant planning to offer WordPress as a service to create websites for clients. This course also helps small business owners to gain more control and insight into their own website and is suitable for absolute beginners. The WordPress training is flexible and designed to equip you with the basic knowledge and confidence needed to setup and manage your own website. I also offer WordPress Training on a 1-2-1 basis in your own home or office in Toronto or in a very small group workshop. I like to keep the groups workshops small to ensure you get the best from your training.

The WordPress Website Workshop is perfect for you if you have ever experienced the following…

  • Wanting to start a website, but not sure where to begin.
  • Frustration with waiting on your busy webmaster.
  • The stress of knowing how much web design can cost you.
  • Wondering how you’ll update and make changes to your website now that you’ve finished it.

These are common issues we’re faced with when it comes to building a website.
