Event Details

Do you need a website, or have you a website which is out of date or that you can’t maintain?  In this one-day workshop we’ll take you step by step through building yourself a professional-looking website using Wordpress.

This hands-on workshop is designed for those who would like to:

  • get up and running quickly with a simple but expandable website
  • save time and money
  • have a professional looking website and/or blog, under your own control
  • promote their small business, organisation or professional service
  • start using effective online marketing techniques 

We will cover:

  • choosing and using a domain name
  • hosting at wordpress.com or in your own space
  • choosing and customizing a design or theme
  • setting up your pages
  • your navigation menu and keywords
  • how to easily maintain and add pages and information
  • where to find tools and plugins to add special features
  • ways to find out who is visiting
  • why Wordpress is Google friendly

You’ll need to bring:

  • your own laptop – or book one with us in advance
See more about what you need to bring on our website

We are accredited by the Institute of IT Training.

You won’t need to know any programming or code: building a website can be as easy as using a word processor or your browser. We’ll be using the easy Wordpress interface

At the end of this workshop you will have a simple but professional and easy-to-update website that could have you cost you £1000-£3000 from a web design company.

Just in case, you also have access to support afterwards via our Reach Further community – but we don’t think you’ll need it.

To make sure that you get personal attention and support, places on this workshop are limited to 8: book early!

The perfect training combination – follow this up with our How to Blog day workshop: learn dozens of ways to fill your blog or website with content on a regular basis.

Book here or contact us and we will invoice you.
