Who am I? - I'm a website designer with over 15 years of experience. Over the past 10 years, I have been designing websites around Wordpress. It used to take me weeks to code up a template and page layouts. In X Theme with Cornerstone, I can build a deploy amazing websites in a fraction of that time.

Having a website that is attractive to viewers and keeps them engaged as they learn more about what your website is offering them is important. Nothing sends people away faster than bad design. X Theme and Cornerstone help you create engaging websites that convert traffic into sales. The best part is that you can do all of this without knowing how to code.

Join me as we go through X Theme and Cornerstone one section at a time and then build some awesome pages together.

Why X Theme? - I have met the folks behind X Theme and they are really good people. Their goal is to deliver a great product that we can use to produce quality websites and they have done just that. X Theme is well supported and maintained. I feel confident building my clients websites in X Theme and Cornerstone knowing that their sites will continue to receive updates.

Why is this course free? - I believe in giving back. Most of my introductory level courses are free because I believe in sharing knowledge with each other. I taught myself how to code by reading articles and by dissecting opensource code. If it was not for this free information, I most likely would not be running Hill Media Group, my online marketing agency.

What's Next? - Now that this course is live, I will be completing my Advanced X Theme course soon, which will teach you how to build extremely dynamic websites using X Theme, Cornerstone, and other plugins that help with user experience and conversion.

Tutorial is good...for the earlier version of Cornerstone. The new one looks very different, so this tutorial is confusing. Very difficult to follow because layout has changed.

MUCH better than the paid course for the same theme, the instructor clearly has been doing this for a long time at a developer level, exactly what I needed!

I have a client who has an existing site using XTheme so I needed this course to learn the basics. The course met my expectations. However, I struggled with some areas since they were different than the course content due to discrepancies between the Cornerstone/XTheme version in the course vs. what was installed on my site. Otherwise the course was fine.

Being mostly self-taught, going through this was looking to fill in holes in my knowledge. There were a few things that were helpful, but it is definitely a beginning course and I recommend it as such.

Jerad has an amazing way so simplifying how to use this theme and how to get started with WordPress. After spending a couple of days banging my head against the wall, because I just couldn't get things to work, I found this course and within the 3 hours, it took I have been able to make progress on a clients website in a matter of hours. Once again Jerad thank you so much.

This was great for a basic understanding of the X Theme. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated since 2016, so a fair amount of content is outdated. Still, this was extremely helpful. Would recommend.

I learnt a lot about how to navigate the x theme and cornerstone. Thanks so much. I feel far less intimidated by the whole thing now.

I've been using Divi for years and a potential client has X-theme installed and set up by "a friend" who seemingly abandoned the project and is no longer freelancing. I want to get this tool under my belt.
