Creating categories and assign them to your content
Working on the homepage which contains beautiful content areas

What Else Does The Course includes?
In addition to learning how to work with Wordpress, you will also get a list of must-have addons, known as plugins, so you can later on expand the functionality of your website and engage with your audience by building a mailing list, adding social sharing buttons and much more.
How Long Will It Take Me To Create a Website With The Help of This Course?
You can have your website up and running within a few hours, and if your free time is very limited - you could learn for about 15-30 minutes each day and complete your website within a week. The lectures are short and easy to follow, and were structured in a way that they would fit those who have a full day to work on their website as well as those who only have 15 minutes a day. With that being said, "throwing" a website online on the World Wide Web is not enough - once it's ready, the hard work begins - it's your responsibility to continue expanding your content by writing articles and sharing your knowledge and services online in social media platforms, so your website will gain credibility and audience.
Why Taking This Course?
If you've tried learning how to work with Wordpress before, but got confused with all the configurations, themes, plugins and the various possibilities that this platform offers, here is your chance to watch how it's simply done by a web designer who works with Wordpress for the past 8 years. It's easier than you think, and moreover - it's FUN!
Wordpress is a platform that can serve anyone who wants to build a website and has basic computing skills. You don't need to pay thousand of dollars to a webdesigner and a webmaster to create a professional-looking website anymore, thanks to the great abilities of Wordpress which make this platform so flexible and understandable.
Join the ride - you're going to love it, but hey - Wordpress is addictive, so watch out! :-)

Hi, i'm Maya. I've been building websites since i was 15. What started as a hobby, turned to be my profession 10 years later. I mostly work with Wordpress, and besides creating websites for customers, i've started giving lectures about this system a few years ago as well. When i found out about Udemy and the opportunity to teach online,...
Her speech if clear but she moves to fast through the screens. Some of see "slower" especially if we have bad vision. She also spelled "Welcome" wrong and I'm sure I'm not the first to point that out. If able, she should go in and edit for more credibility. Other than that, she seems very knowledgeable and appreciate her taking the time to do this video.
I love the visual walk through process. Very helpful!
Good basic course on how to learn wordpress.
Too fast, no explanation. For example, why did she choose that one SEO plugin and not Yoast? Not a word on that. This course covers exactly the content I need, but she is not a teacher. The high speed of speaking along with non-native intonation, and speed clicking through important points made me give up and find a different course.
Presenter talks at a good pace and explains things thoroughly.
Other than Voice quality, rest all has been explained in a clear and concise manner and this should be the first course for a newbie before jumping into wordpress.
Cheers...
This course went very fast, but was very informative.
it helps me a lot ..
Excellent course. The most comprehensive of all the Wordpress training I have tried so far. Will be recommending this course to others too.

Really liked it.
Great timing as I need to get a website up and running for my Import Export business.
Easy instructions, easy to follow and if you don't want the theme from the instructions the skills you will learn are easily transferable on other themes.
That makes WordPress so great.
The lady explains in a nice steady pace.
She used a theme which is attractive.
I think next time she could add on to this course or do a separate one the 5 points she mentions in video 27 about Future Steps.
SEO is a whole course on its own, but also an E-commerce addon or e-commerce site.
I personally got a lot out of the course and wish the lady all the best.
