Creating WordPress Websites

Learn how to create attractive, sophisticated blogs and websites—without any coding!

About The Course

WordPress is the world’s most popular website publisher, powering more than 25% of all sites on the Internet. WordPress is an easy-to-use solution that will help you put your site on the Web in far less time than by coding, and at a much lower cost than hiring a professional.

In these lessons, you’ll get hands-on experience with this powerful tool as you create your own WordPress.org site and blog. You’ll find out how to use WordPress to create pages and posts, add images and videos, change a site’s look and feel, and include user-friendly features. You’ll discover the ease of using WordPress design themes to express your creativity, and you’ll see how much fun it is to be part of the vibrant WordPress online community.

In addition to mastering the technical elements of WordPress, you’ll learn how to organize a blog or website, create appealing content, keep your site secure, and achieve better positions on search engine results pages. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to confidently use WordPress to create a blog or a personal, business, or organizational website.

The WordPress.org version covered in this class is the platform the pros use. While it normally requires a paid hosting account, this course includes a totally free, no obligation hosting account for one month, along with a private place on the Web for practice.
