About This Course

Develop Serious Web Sites with Wordpress

Perhaps you want to start creating professional web sites. Maybe you want to start a small freelance business or take control of your own business web site. Maybe your a designer dipping a toe in to the digital world.  Or, perhaps, you just want to learn to develop complete sites in Wordpress the right way.

Whatever your reason if you want to learn the in's and out's of Wordpress, this course is for you.

This isn't a course that teaches you how to type content in to existing Wordpress themes!  This program is designed to give you full command of the Wordpress environment so you can make dynamic web sites that look anyway you want and are easy to update and maintain.  You're diving DEEP into Wordpress discussing theme development, mobile ready sites, templates and much, much more.

You'll work with Wordpress expert Mark Hannon as you develop your Wordpress skill set. This course launches quickly as you jump right into developing your own, unique, Wordpress theme. (No more boring, poorly executed templates!)

This isn't a course where you'll simply watch Mark go through the procedures. You'll be invited to work along with Mark step-by-step to make sure you remember and can apply every concept demonstrated. Speaking of hands on learning, the course is loaded with lab exercises and examples to help you immediately apply the skills that you're learning.

  • You will learn how to set up a Wordpress website on a local development server

  • You will learn about the parts of a Wordpress installation and what files you can modify

  • You will learn how to develop a simple custom theme and activate it

Mark Hannon is a graphic designer who was thrust into the world of web design years ago when his clients kept asking “Do you design web sites too?” Never one to shrink from challenge, he replied “Yes” and then, after the initial panic attack, discovered that html and later CSS did not require an Enigma Machine to understand. Having built...

I installed Brackets as suggested and it gave me a "PHP runtime not found" error. I then installed a version of PHP (not shown in the video). That was probably a mistake because I then could not open PHPMYADMIN. I finally had to uninstall MAMP, Brackets, delete WP files, clear the recycle bin, reboot, and reinstall everything minus a separate version of PHP, and it started to work. I now seem to be working and can follow the course instructions.

volume was very low and the screen fonts were small. I can't even blow it up from my screen even I set to full screen.

This course is of an awful quality with an incompetent, absent-minded teacher who always overlooks simple and obvious mistakes. I don't have not a single good word for this course.

Not at all. I have no idea what he is talking about. I have Wordpress already installed on my host site and did not have to go through all this rigamarole. He just jumps into this course with no explanations of why he is doing what he is doing.

Too slow moving. Also, I tried to use the MAMP program to host the development site but it does not seem to work with mySQL community edition. After spending about a half a day trying to get it to run and having to reinstall mySQL, I have just decided to watch the content only and not try to go along with the coding.
