Description

Develop the skills and knowledge necessary to create, build, and effectively manage websites or professional blogs using the WordPress platform.

Build Professional Websites with WordPress

WordPress offers a powerful and accessible platform that enables you to build and manage a fully functional website or blog, even without formal web design training or technical knowledge of web development code. WordPress is fundamentally built on HTML, CSS, and PHP, which means that experienced web developers who have coding expertise can exercise even greater control and customization over WordPress site functionality and design. Whether you're interested in launching a brand new website or blog from scratch or you need to manage and maintain an existing WordPress-based website, this comprehensive class is the right choice for you.

An Essential Skill for Professional Web Developers: Over 40 Percent of Websites Use WordPress

If you work in web design or web development, understanding how to effectively use WordPress is increasingly important and valuable, since a significant percentage of the websites you may design or develop are likely to utilize WordPress as their content management system. WordPress powers more than 40 percent of all websites globally because it delivers extensive functionality and the ability to create custom themes and templates that control the visual design, user experience, and functionality of a website. Your clients and the organizations you work with will want the ability to edit website content, including text, images, and other media, independently, and WordPress provides them with the tools to accomplish this without requiring them to understand programming or coding.

In this practical course, you will gain skills in creating new pages, editing content, and developing a thorough understanding of how your clients and end users will interact with WordPress when they are creating and managing their own website content. You will also learn techniques for controlling the overall layout, visual appearance, and functionality of WordPress sites using straightforward, intuitive tools that do not require any programming knowledge. Additionally, you will learn when and how to use code to gain even greater control and customization options.

This Course Has a Prerequisite:

  • You should have basic HTML and CSS coding experience equivalent to our Web Development with HTML and CSS class.
