WordPress powers about 26% of all websites. It is incredibly powerful and flexible for building websites big and small. Whether you need a blog, ecommerce, or membership site, WordPress will allow you to do that without any coding required. Because of the open source nature of WordPress, you'll be able to find themes and plugins to fit any project.
In this workshop, learn the basics. What can WordPress do? What can't it do? Is it right for your project? We'll build a simple WordPress site, talk about what's needed to get a site going, and how to find the resources you may need in the future.
In this class:
- The difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org
- Basic construction of a site or blog
