About this course
One Month WordPress is the best way to learn WordPress. I've been developing WordPress themes for over 10 years, and in that time I've created WordPress themes for The Black Eyed Peas, General Assembly, Toyota, Aldo, Agency Sacks, and New York Green Roofs. You’ll get to take advantage of all that expertise to develop a WordPress page that’s perfect for you.
Who is this WordPress course designed for? If you're a freelance designer, I hope that after this course you can start offering custom WordPress blogs to your clients. If you're a business owner, I hope that you learn enough to build your own blog from scratch. Whatever your goals are, you'll learn enough so that you can tweak an existing WordPress theme design.
In just 4 hours of videos you'll learn:
- The Loop
- Template tags
- The author tag
- The date tag
- Navigation menus
- Comments
- Functions
- Widgets
- WordPress Plugins
- Advance Custom Field
- The WordPress Codex
As well as how to edit CSS styles on an existing WordPress theme. This covers the most common things you would want to build on a WordPress page.
WordPress powers 33% of the Internet.
That’s because Fortune 500 Companies, artists, and bloggers all want the same things: a custom theme, good SEO, and an easy way to publish content. I'm very proud of how this course came out - and I hope you'll join me.
