WordPress is a free, Web-based software program that anyone can use to build and maintain a website or blog.
This basic training is designed for non-technical people and is available to our clients as part of our WordPress Setup Packages!
This course will give you a high level overview of how WordPress works
and the technical knowledge to update your website with fresh content—
without having to call your web designer.
This scalable model can be used to build a simple brochure-style website, a business blog, an eCommerce site or a multi-level membership site. Can your current website can do that?! No more calling your web developer to make simple content updates!
A business blog = a PR machine. WordPress can be used to build
a simple blog OR an entire complex website.
Blogging is a form of digital communication that is posted on a website, usually available to be read by anyone with access to the Internet, in contrast to e-mail, which is a message directed to specific individuals. A blog usually consists of a reverse-chronological series of dated journal entries, and may include photos, videos and audio files. Bloggers frequently encourage dialogue with their readers by allowing them to post comments on the site.
