Hi, I’m Maya and I will help you understand how WordPress works.
Do you keep hearing people say “go with WordPress” when you ask them about opening a blog?
Have you ever tried building a website with WordPress but the process confused you?
Do you feel intimidated by building your own website while you don’t have any experience in that field?
Well, you came to the right place!
This course will teach you all the basic things you need to know in order to operate WordPress the right way and get confident in building a whole website with it.
The Sections are divided to 8 small lessons:
