🚀 Learn WordPress
and develop WordPress sites like a pro!

WordPress is a leading CMS for managing websites. Once set up, business owners can easily update or modify stuff without coding. It is open-source and built to proper SEO specifications. Websites like TechCrunch, BBC, and The Walt Disney Company use WordPress. The advantages of WP are - SEO friendly, extensive plugins and themes, easy to manage, strong community, versatile, and fully customizable. 

You can download the source codes from wordpress.org. But this is usually for offline development, research, troubleshooting or other special purposes. These days, most hosting dashboards offer fully automated WordPress setup and installation via CPANEL or PLESK.

You could learn it by setting up a free hosting (freehosting.com, byet.host), install WordPress and explore from there. An offline learning setup is possible using a local server package like WAMP or XAMP, and then download WP for manual install. Also, WordPress comes with a built-in page editor called Gutenberg, which is a waste of time to master. I would advice skipping it altogether in favor of a more robust page builder such as Elementor or WPBakery.

Yes, WordPress can handle basic e-commerce using a plugin called WooCommerce. It is ideal for small to medium-sized stores. However, for larger operations with high traffic or complex requirements, platforms like Magento or Shopify Plus are better suited due to their scalability and performance.

WordPress development feels like second nature to me. In addition to my training work, freelance website development is my other major focus. I pride myself on delivering attractive, functional websites in a fraction of the time (typically within 1-2 weeks) which sets me apart in a field where turnaround times can be much longer. As a PHP coder, I have a deep understanding of the WordPress system, which helps me build powerful websites. But don't worry, you don’t need any PHP knowledge for this training. That’s just an extra skill I bring to the table for those who want to dive deeper.

This website was created using Google Sites. While I'm highly skilled in WordPress, I chose Google Sites because:

🧘‍♂️ Simplicity & Speed – Fast to set up and maintain, especially for a freelance operation like mine.

🔒 Security & Hosting – Google handles hosting and security out of the box, zero hassle there!

🧪 Minimal Design Needs – This site isn’t meant to be flashy. As a simple info hub Google Sites works fine.

🔍 SEO Experimentation – Researching into how well Google Sites performs in search rankings. My fun little experiment.

💸 Completely Free – Zero costs if you're okay with the default URL.

🧰 WordPress is still my go-to when it comes to client projects!
