WordPress Development with Bootstrap

Are you ready to supercharge your Web Development Skills and learn how to build beautiful, custom and responsive WordPress Themes & Websites?

Join Brad Hussey in the completely updated for 2022 version of his popular WordPress Theme Development Udemy Course, (a.k.a. Bootstrap to WordPress).

By the end of the course, Brad Hussey will walk you step-by-step through building and launching beautiful & responsive, complete WordPress website from scratch.

In the process, you will:

  • Learn how to convert any static HTML & CSS website into a dynamic WordPress theme

  • Start theming with Bootstrap, the most popular mobile responsive web design framework in the world

  • Learn how to install WordPress easily on any computer in as little as 2-minutes, so you can practice building WordPress websites without paying for monthly hosting & domain fees

  • Learn PHP, the programming language that WordPress is built upon

  • Understand the basics of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) as we build Custom Elementor Widgets which allow us to create unlimited website layouts and designs

  • Leverage the WordPress "Customizer" which allows us to edit our website visually

  • Learn how to easily launch your WordPress website on a live server

  • And much more.

Bootstrap is the most widely used design framework, supporting the development of modern & responsive HTML5 and CSS3 based websites, and WordPress powers the majority of modern websites.

Bootstrap significantly reduces development time by ensuring your website layouts are responsive and mobile friendly, while WordPress makes it very easy to manage website content.

The problem is that most people find it overwhelming to learn Bootstrap and WordPress on their own.

Brad Hussey is a Web Developer & Designer in Canada with more than 10 years of professional experience. With hundreds of thousands of students who have taken his courses, he makes learning complex concepts and skills easy by walking you through the entire design and building process step-by-step in an organized, easy to follow (and fun) manner.

In this WordPress Development course for beginners, you will transform from a Bootstrap or WordPress beginner to a highly valuable web designer and developer who is able to create beautiful, custom and responsive websites, themes and templates.

Whether you're a freelance designer, new web developer, employee for a company, code hobbyist, or looking for a new career — this course gives you an immensely valuable skill that will enable you to either: 

Start a Profitable Side Hustle as a WordPress Developer

So you can save up for a vacation, help pay off your debt, or simply just to have bonus cash laying around. 

Create a Full-Time Income

WordPress Developers have plenty of career options. Many web developers make a generous living creating custom WordPress themes and selling them on websites like ThemeForest. Freelance web designers and developers can also make a full-time living building sophisticated WordPress websites for clients.

Who Should Take This Course? 

Graphic & Web Designers 

Graphic designers are extremely talented, but ask them to code their designs and they'll freeze up. This leaves them with no other choice but to hire a web developer. Any professional graphic designers knows web developers can be expensive. 

If you're a designer, learning to code your own WordPress websites can change your business entirely. Now, not only are you a great designer, but you're a skillful developer, too. This puts you in a position tomake an extra $1,000 – $5,000 per project. 

Entrepreneurs 

Entrepreneurs have big dreams, and in many cases, shoestring budgets. In order to survive in the cut-throat world of the Startup company, it's a necessity to have a world-class website. However, world-class websites come with a large price tag. 

If you can learn how to build a high-quality startup website by yourself, then you've just saved yourself a lot of cash, tens of thousands of dollars in many cases. 

Employees of a company 

Any company knows the education & training of their employees is key to a thriving team. 

Depending on the type of company you work for, if you understand how to code, and can develop CMS driven websites, that gives you negotiating power for a better position, or a higher salary. 

Hobbyists 

It's fun to learn challenging new skills. Code hobbyists can add dynamic websites to their arsenal of tools to play with — you can even sell WordPress themes and plugins for cash. The possibilities are truly endless. 

People Looking for a New Career 

Are you out of work? Looking for a more rewarding job? Desire a career that can allow you to work almost anywhere in the world? Becoming a Web Developer might be the answer for you. 

Web developers are paid well, anywhere from $33,000 to more than $105,000 per year. They get to work at amazing companies that are changing the world, or they enjoy the ability to start their own companies, become location-independent and work from home, from coffee shops, in an airplane, on the beach, or wherever they want.  

Final Project Features 

Throughout this entire course, you work towards building an incredibly beautiful, 100% custom website using the Bootstrap framework. The coolest part? The Bootstrap website doesn't look anything like the Bootstrap websites you see all over the Internet.

The final project features: 

Beautiful & Modern Design 

You get to work with a modern, professional quality design & layout. 

Quality 

You can dramatically increase your efficiency, and supercharge your web development skills. And by doing so, you'll effectively be able to take on more projects, charge higher rates, even make more money as a freelance WordPress developer.

sense of humor

If you need to explore a single technology in a deeper detail you can go by yourself with google.. For me this is exactly what I was looking for and further more I was very delighted by the instructor' sense of humor!

To top it all off, Brad has a great sense of humor and has a perfect instinct for how to balance a professional vibe with a tiny bit of silliness or relaxed "oops that's not right!

Brad is an excellent instructor with a funny sense of humor.

I particularly like the speed and his sense of humor.

I learned a ton, Brad is easy to understand, the videos are crystal clear high quality, and I think Brad had a great sense of humor!

The pace is a bit fast so be prepared to pause a lot - but the course includes extensive materials, and Brad is a great instructor with sense of humor.

I admire that he carries a strong sense of humor in his lectures as well!

Brad does a great job delivering a ton of content with a sense of humor and real world experience.

custom fields

Since I started the course I have never stopped learning, especially the tips and tricks used like advanced custom fields (ACF) and PHP yes started Brad's course on PHP too, so if a newbe can enloy this course any one can if they wish to learn.

Advanced Custom Fields an Custom Post Types are something amazing.

I've completed several WordPress tutorials, but I learned some things in 'Bootstrap to WordPress' that I have never seen taught before - custom fields, custom page-types, sprites, and more.

It also didn't explain how to reactivate the Custom Fields after installing the Advance Custom Fields, again because de ACF was updated after this course was released.

Also it's the first time I have used custom fields and post types.

adding custom fields and allowing upload from admin) 2.

The lectures are engaging and the course has some deep good insights into developing custom pages, Custom post types and Custom fields in WordPress.

Once Brad talked about Advanced Custom Fields I had that "AHA!"

One thing I would like to see added to the course is the following: Let's say I make a custom theme, with Custom Fields (using ACF) and/or CPTs (using CPTUI).

How can I: include those custom fields and CPTs automatically in the theme so the plugins don't need to be installed (answer: export them and install them in the functions.php file is an option), or if I do want ACF and CPTUI installed with the theme so the new user (who isn't my client, someone I've never met) can also use them, how can I automatically include the plugins when the theme is downloaded and installed (I know there's a way to do this, but I'm not sure, and it might be a good way to extend these lectures a litte:-)).

PD: the advance custom fields totally change my life hahaha Excellent course!!

For example, instead of using Advanced Custom Fields or Custom Post Types, you would need to learn how to build the hooks into your theme to programatically add these post types / fields to the database.

Great explanations and examples of custom post types and custom fields.

It's so good to see how it all can be connected together, with advice for extra useful additions like Font Awesome and Advanced Custom Fields.

pause button

The pause button is saving me--make liberal use of it everyone!

For others that prefer working more slowly the pause button is always there.

Sometimes he's a bit fast but hey... you have a pause button on Udemy!

As we got deeper into the coding, though, he went much faster (thankfully there's a pause button!).

That pause button certainly came in handy.

You'll use the pause button a lot but Brad has a very good way of teaching this course that shows you not only "best practices" but also some tips to help get you hit the ground running when the course is done.

I can see that some people might think Brad works fast, but that's what the pause button is for!

Brad is lightning fast, so get your pause button ready.

A little bit fast, but we have the pause button for some reason.

Really good if you just listen, but if you try to do it at the same time, you'll hit the pause button quite often... Great teacher.

The pace is crazy fast :) but you always have that pause button (like he says many times during the course).

It's what the pause button is designed for.

anyone wanting to learn

its use full all students.. Brad's course is a valuable asset to anyone wanting to learn to master Bootstrap and WordPress.

I would HIGHLY recommend to take this course to anyone wanting to learn HTML5 or Wordpress.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn more about wordpress themes and php!

Highly recommend Brad to anyone wanting to learn on Udemy!

pause and rewind

It is a lot easier to pause and rewind than it is to sit through a lecture that goes way too slowly, in my opinion.

You can always pause and rewind if you're working along with him (and I highly recommend you do that.)

Some complain it's fast, but it's a video.... pause and rewind are easy to use.

I'm on a Windows platform and cannot get Coda2 so it was very difficult to keep up with Brad when he was coding web pages because (a) he can go pretty fast sometimes and I had to pause and rewind and (b) with the neat shortcut features in Coda2 that could bring in TONS of code with just a few keystrokes (whereas I had to manually type everything) it made keeping up difficult and at times a little discouraging especially if I made a typo and then had to debug the page.

Yes, you can pause and rewind the video but this means the course takes far longer than you think it will.

five star

I need to add more to this five star rating.

Why not a "five star" rating... sometimes the pace of the course is just too quick.

A five star course should allow students the freedom to help each other out while maintaining regular and frequent interaction from the instructor.

So that's why I gave this course rating a five star.

Five stars from me.

After 50 lectures, I realised that this does deserve a five star rating!

This guy is an excellent teacher and about 80% of the course is on point and it would deserve five stars when it came out.

I dunno...I'm sure there are things that could be better but for me it was everything I needed to know, I followed it and made a custom site that my friend totally loved and I made my money back and then some so I feel like that deserves a five star rating.

Highly recommended, five stars out of five.
