The course is designed with the WordPress beginner in mind, but I also cover some sections for the total domain and website novice, showing you every step in creating a domain name, hosting, and all the steps to installing and setting up WordPress and customizing it to your liking.
This is a “point and click” course, meaning you won’t be learning complicated HTML or PHP coding, but rather an approach that anyone can master, no matter your experience level.
