How WordPress Training Works

How I Learned WordPress Without Help

Website Repair Services

If your website is not working then you’re going nowhere fast. Website errors as a result of plugin conflicts, coding errors, malware or outdated versions of server software quickly take a toll on your business. The urgency to find a website repair service is even greater when you need your e-commerce website fixed and paying customers can’t buy at the checkout or register for your event.

WordPress Best Practices

Remember when the website was the domain of IT and there was a very clear boundary? It used to be that creative types couldn’t even figure out how to check their email! Things have changed and the website management boundary is unclear. Experts in Marketing have lofty goals and the company website is a means to achieve those goals. These are different goals than those of IT. But, the truth is, their differing goals are equally valuable.

Is there a WordPress certification?

Is there such thing as a WordPress certification? Can you become a certified WordPress developer? The short answer is no. There is no official certification in WordPress. As a matter of fact, suggesting that you are certified in WordPress in a job interview or on your resume is likely to backfire.

Why I became a WordPress Trainer

When I started to learn WordPress, I did it the way many of you have tried: without help. I struggled to get the hang of it for more than a year. I watched a lot of amateur YouTube videos that were sometimes helpful but were mostly useless and out of date.
