Course Description

Want to publish a professional website without feeling lost in tech jargon? This free online WordPress course is designed for absolute beginners who want a clear path from first idea to a working site. You will start by understanding what WordPress is and when it makes sense to use it, then move into the practical choices that shape a successful project, such as the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org and what that means for flexibility, control, and growth.

As you progress, you will learn the real-world steps behind getting a website online: choosing and registering a domain, selecting beginner-friendly hosting, connecting everything through DNS settings, and installing WordPress using common tools such as cPanel. These fundamentals help you avoid common setup mistakes and give you the confidence to manage the technical side of a web presence, whether you are building a personal blog, a portfolio, or a small business site.

Once your site is installed, the course shifts into the WordPress dashboard and the daily workflows you will use to create and maintain content. You will practice the difference between posts and pages, use the editor efficiently, organize content with categories and tags, and keep your site consistent with featured images and clean formatting. You will also learn how revisions work, so you can confidently update content without fear of losing earlier versions.

To make your site feel complete and easy to navigate, you will work with media, links, menus, widgets, and themes, gaining a practical sense of how each piece affects the visitor experience. You will also explore plugins and how to manage them safely, including enabling, disabling, and removing them correctly. Finally, the course highlights important configuration choices like permalinks and homepage settings, helping you set up a site structure that supports usability and search visibility from the start.

By the end, you will have a strong foundation in WordPress web development concepts and hands-on skills you can apply immediately—whether your goal is to launch your first site, support a client project, or build a stepping stone toward deeper study in technology and programming.
