Web Design with WordPress: Design and Build Great Websites

Offered through Skillshare

About this course

Create WordPress Websites and Blogs: Especially for Beginners, Freelancers, and Graphic Designers Who Don't Want to Code.

The main goal of this course is to teach anyone, even a complete beginner, how to setup a complete WordPress website quickly and easily.

While other courses teach you all of the in-depth, complicated things about building websites, this course focuses on only those things needed to get your website up and running as efficiently as possible with beautiful results.

With an emphasis on design elements, I will walk you through everything you need to start building a WordPress website, including how to:

- “Spin up” new WordPress sites in under one minute

- Install WordPress on your local computer (Windows or Mac) so you can learn without paying for a domain and web hosting.

- Download, install and configure WordPress plugins

- Optimize your website for search engines

- Backup, export and move your website to a different domain and/or hosting

- Create pages and posts, and how to understand the difference between the two

- Create custom menus and navigation systems that both visitors and search engines will find useful

- Protect your WordPress website from hackers and spammers

- Back up your WordPress website in case of emergency.

- Set up server and hosting environments in the most economical and secure way

- Build and edit websites within staging and development environments

- Migrate and transfer WordPress websites from staging to live and vice-versa

- Use some of the most popular and versatile WordPress Themes available

- Discover multiple ways to work with various themes and frameworks
