WordPress Webinars

WordPress is one of the most versatile and user-friendly web publishing applications. It has been enjoying rapid and widespread use over the past few years. Find out how easy it is to make web sites, change or create themes, add plugins and expand your offerings to clients – or maybe you just want to create a new web site for yourself.

I will go over these topics using the GoToMeeting.com system. You’ll be able to see my desktop as I demonstrate what WordPress is in one hour.

WordPress For Beginners

You’ve heard of WordPress – maybe you’ve even dabbled in it – but you want an overview of how to make it work for you. This is the starter webinar, the view from 10,000 feet. I will take you through the set-up and options in WordPress. No previous experience is necessary. All you need is the ability to get online which I see you have!!

Here’s What I Go Over

  1. What WordPress is and the difference between wordpress.com and a self-hosted WordPress site.
    I’ll show you that your site does not have to have a "WordPress look."
  2. How to set up a WordPress web site.
  3. What WordPress is made of – HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL.
    The good news is you don’t have to know any of those (but it sure helps).
  4. A tour of the WordPress menu – from the Dashboard to Settings.
  5. How to make a web page or a post.
  6. WordPress Themes and how they can be customized to meet design requirements.
  7. The power of WordPress plugins and how they extend the functionality of a web site without having to know the PHP programming language.

WordPress Beyond The Basics

To move beyond the basics, you’ll want an understanding of these topics. Choose which ones you’d like me to go over in a one hour webinar, or let me know what you need to learn.

  • Understanding WordPress as a framework to build any site – not just a blog.
  • Which plugins are a must for a WordPress developer or designer to use.
  • How to customize a theme to make a web site look just the way you want it to.
  • How to organize and work with page links.
  • What a template is and how to create templates for your WordPress site.

Yes, you can do all of this without being a PHP programmer!! How do I know? I’m not a PHP programmer!!

Testimonials Your presentation last evening is one of the few Webinars that I think is really worth the money! This Webinar could not be more timely for me. I have not been using WordPress, but a small business specifically asked me.

Bud, I learned so much from your WordPress webinar last night. You covered many areas and explained many potential problems, which can discourage us from trying on our own. I will certainly create my own page very soon! Thank you.
