Here’s what current students are saying about the course:
“I really got a lot out of this course. It was a bit of a refresher for me as I used WordPress about 10 years ago. The lecturer’s voice and the audio in general is very clear and the talking is always relevant to what is happening, no mumbling or going off track. The lectures proceed at a reasonably fast pace, you can of course stop the video occasionally to keep up. The visuals and descriptions are good. You will build a website, step by step alongside the lecturer. I felt I learned quite a bit in terms of using WordPress, using the block editor, creating a website and general knowledge about the whole process. Well worth my time.”
-Terrance D.
