WordPress Training

If you want to create a website or blog for free, WordPress is the ideal solution. But if you haven't got any experience with web design this can be a bit daunting, so where do you start?

Learn how to use WordPress to set up and maintain your website or blog on our 2-day WordPress training course in Brighton.

Even if you are completely new to web design, our expert trainers will guide you through the process in a step by step, logical way.

WordPress training is taught in small groups and is very hands on, so over the two days you'll learn to use WordPress by actually building a site.

You don't need to know any HTML or CSS to come on the course, but you will learn some on the course!

If you already know coding, and want to be able to completely customise how your WordPress site looks, our Custom WordPress Themes training course will show you exactly how to create your own themes from scratch.

Can't make it to Brighton or want to tailor your own private course? That's fine! Our trainers will also come to your premises if you would prefer in-company training. Call us on 01273 622272 for more information.
