Is WordPress Easy to Use?
Well, that’s subjective and depends on how you use it. WordPress is not as easy as some would have you believe. It’s intuitive and “better” than other web design platforms, but whether it’s easy depends on your ability.
With my knowledge and experience, I can dramatically shorten the WordPress learning curve and get you off to the best possible start, avoiding the WordPress sinkhole that most fall into.

One-to-one WordPress Training
I provide personalised, one-to-one WordPress training, delivered remotely via Zoom for your convenience. My training sessions are specifically aimed at beginners and non-coders, making it ideal for small business owners, freelancers, and creatives.
We can build a fully functional website together or tailor the training to your specific needs. I’ll guide you through clear, practical solutions.
With expert, one-on-one guidance, you’ll save time, avoid frustration, and gain real-world experience.
Build a WordPress Website
The best way to learn WordPress is by building a whole website. Most courses focus on theme training or positioning elements. While that way of learning is fun and easy to teach, it doesn’t give you the skills to design and build a website from scratch.
I can teach you how to build a fully functional website directly in WordPress or with the help of an intuitive, drag-and-drop page builder, whichever suits your needs best.
By the end of the training, you won’t just know WordPress, you’ll know how to use it confidently to support your business or personal projects.
Adhoc WordPress Training
Are you struggling with WordPress and need help with a specific problem? Whether you’re stuck on plugin issues, theme problems, page layout frustrations, or simply don’t know where to start, I can help.
With personalised, expert guidance, you’ll save time, eliminate frustration, build confidence, and gain practical experience.
Together, we’ll take a close look at the challenges you’re facing and create a clear, effective plan to get you back on track.

Looks Difficult, Right? Overwhelming!
Nah, it’s fun, and you don’t need to memorise everything we cover …
We’re all human, and our ability to absorb lots of information in one go is limited, mainly because our ability to focus naturally fades as time goes by. That’s why the course is structured over two short days and split into eight practical modules, based on past participants’ feedback.
Let’s pretend you forget everything anyway! No problem, you’re welcome to record the WordPress training so you have a reliable resource to revisit should you need a refresher at a later date. You’ll also take away a fully functional website that you can tweak and use for your business, without having to start from scratch.
If that sounds too daunting and you’d rather leave it to a professional, look at my WordPress web design service. You may also be interested in my WordPress maintenance care plans.
