We’ll be building a website on the WordPress.org platform. This is for anyone who has been wanting to DIY their own website. We’ll cover everything up to adding the actual content (but I’ll show you how to don’t worry).

We will cover the following:

How to install WordPress on your host (if you don’t have hosting, see video below. You will need this for the class)

How to install your theme (if you don’t have a theme, see video below. You will need this for the class)

Setting up plugins & other plugins you may want to install (95% are free)

How to setup your theme options Easily plan out your content & insert it into your site

How to best optimize your website for speed and SEO Up-leveling your website with CSS Website maintenance

Must bring laptop

Must have hosting purchased already -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRv0vLzlBa0

Must already have a theme (there are free themes but I don’t recommend for security and functionality purposes) (ALSO, this video starts where the theme section portion is, the earlier part of the video covers installing WP on your host, which we’ll do in the class) -> https://youtu.be/5Lxtlfyeuc0?t=528

*Please feel reach out when picking your theme, I’m happy to help review them before you buy 🙂
