WordPress Training Course

WordPress is easily the most popular self-hosted Content Management System (CMS), used by approximately 75 million websites. It is free to install and use, providing users with thousands of website templates and a flexible and simple interface.

Whilst WordPress is extremely intuitive, if you don't have a good working knowledge of the system, its capabilities (which are phenomenal) are massively underutilised.

As well as individual users, many web developers use WordPress, sometimes charging extortionate rates for even small website changes. Are you sick of waiting for your web guy to pick up the phone? Wouldn't it be better to have full control over your own website?

Our bespoke WordPress training is designed to give you this total control, allowing you to safely update your website and improve your business presence. Whether you have no knowledge at all of WordPress, or you would like to further your understanding, we can tailor a course to your specific requirements.
