Intermediate WordPress Websites

About this course

Discover how to get the most from websites and blogs built with WordPress, the world's most popular Web page publisher.

After reviewing the system's basic features, you'll learn to use an online administrative area that makes creating and updating content as simple as composing an email. Your online visitors will be able to comment on your articles, fill out forms and applications, buy your products, and even make appointments.

While WordPress requires no coding, you'll find out how to use simple HTML and CSS to customize a website's appearance. You'll take advantage of the dynamic features known as plugins, which add every imaginable function to your website. And you'll explore how to use plugins to turn a site into an e-commerce powerhouse and improve search engine page results.

To take this course, you should have at least some blog or website publishing experience and good computer skills. WordPress also requires a paid hosting account, but the class includes 90-days of completely free hosting with SiteGround, one of only four hosting companies that WordPress recommends.

If you want to build or maintain a professional WordPress website with all the bells and whistles, this course is for you.
