Here are some recent reviews:
"Very easy to follow and clear instructions. So far this is a very impressive course. Have always wanted to create a blog/website and this looks like it will give some solid base to start from."
"Good course and better instructor. I've learned a lot of new stuff, instructor was always there to help when I was stuck. I'd recommend this course to anyone willing to learn WordPress."
"Great course, easy to follow and lots of good information about wordpress"
"The course moves at a steady pace that allows you to easily keep up. There are plenty of opportunities to practice what is being explained and it doesn't feel like a course where you just copy what the instructor is doing like a robot. I've tried WordPress courses before and always felt like I'd missed something, but with course I really feel that I have gained a solid understanding of WordPress and what it can be used for. "
We begin the course by getting familiar with WordPress and looking at how to install using a localhost.
Beginning with a music festival landing page, where you will get to grips with the new Gutenberg editor. We also look at widgets, adding pages, installing themes and the media library.
We then look at the WordPress essentials such as blog posts, pages, navigation menus and installing themes, all while building your very own blog website.
Once we have the basics covered, we move onto customising our blog using sliders, widgets, header images and working with the customiser. You will also get the chance to optimise your website for search engines and create backups.
The third project takes your WordPress knowledge even further. We create a fully functional eCommerce T-Shirt store. More techniques are introduced throughout this project such as child themes, dealing with products, categories, shipping, taxes, all while building a beautiful, custom website.
After completing the first 2 projects, we move things on even further by introducing you to WordPress theme development by converting an existing HTML & CSS website to a fully functional WordPress theme. This section involves coding in PHP, however if you are new to PHP there is a PHP basics section to get you up to speed.
This project introduces new techniques and you will gain a deeper knowledge of how WordPress themes are created. You will learn how WordPress templates are used and learn about various WordPress functions to build our theme.
Finally, the last section will be focused on useful techniques to add to your WordPress knowledge. Here we will cover exporting your localhost websites to a live server, various plugins etc.
All images and files etc you will need is included to download, there is also need no extra software, subscriptions or purchases etc to complete or take this course.
So are you ready to take your web design or WordPress skills to the next level?
Join me now and I look forward to having you on board.

step by step
I highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn about WordPress Very clear and concise step by step process on how a WordPress Blog website could be installed in a localhost; built with a custom theme and posts illustrated with multi-media contents...
Chris's course was easy to understand and took me step by step from setting up local server up to the point of uploading your blog onto hosting server and by the time I finished the course (plus an additional day or two) I had my first wordpress blog up and running already.
Easy to understand step by step instructions.
Chris takes you through each element in a very concise way, as the course name says, step by step.
I did everything step by step and then I got this Error establishing a database connection This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost.
