Take back control of your company website.

Do your website change requests seem to have fallen into a black hole? Unfortunately, you’re not the only one. Most employees do not have the knowledge required to make informed decisions about digital assets. Sometimes they end up outsourcing these important decisions to a third party.

Lack of in-house knowledge creates a costly dependency upon website developers.

Remove the middle man with WordPress Training. Your team will be equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to run, maintain, and update the company’s website–all without having to deal with poor communication from third parties.

What to expect from WordPress training

If you’re looking for a lengthy PowerPoint presentation and generic handouts, this probably isn’t the best option for you. When you book WordPress training, be prepared for an interactive, hands-on experience.

  • Get access to resources for a stronger foundation and preparation.
  • Two intensive, one-on-one sessions lasting 4-hours each.
  • Receive the video recordings of your training sessions for review at your convenience (available only with virtual training.)
  • Receive an additional 3 months of access to your instructor for follow-up questions and consultation.

Get started with one-on-one WordPress training

Step 1: Let’s talk about your goals

First things first. We’ll discuss your website goals and challenges. Understanding what you want to accomplish helps us customize your individual WordPress training for your unique needs. Already know WordPress basics? Great! Your training experience will be more advanced. This first conversation is also a great time to ask any additional questions you have about the process.

Step 2: Set a Date

We’ll get things off the ground by securing a spot on our calendar. Once we have the training date(s) decided, we will provide a payment link via email. You will also get some valuable resources based on your unique goals to tide you over until the big day.

Step 3: Learn by Doing

We are big proponents of kinetic learning – aka, learning by doing! And since you’re seeking some personalized training, it’s pretty safe to assume you’d like that kind of atmosphere too. We’ll meet in-person or via GoToMeeting as you are guided through the steps of managing WordPress.

WordPress training courses for beginners

Now, I’m going to provide you with the top NON-CUSTOM WordPress training courses for anyone who just wants to get a basic overview. Everyone has to start somewhere, and these posts will give you what you need. From the beginner to the Jedi — there’s something for every level of WordPress student.

In my experience, WordPress courses are a great way for beginners to get a handle on the system. You’ll learn everything you need to create and maintain a high-functioning website.

Here are a list of the top WordPress courses for your money…

WordPress Training by iThemes

“The iThemes team not only produces great products — the level of care and education they offer their customers helps them stand out from the crowd.”

— Chris Lema, ChrisLema.com

If you want a fulfilling class experience, head over and check out The WordPress Course by iThemes. Those who are looking for an experience that resembles a real classroom, this is the place to start. The training section includes:

  • Live FAQ sessions
  • Hundreds of recorded classes
  • Members-Only area

You’ll learn the skills and tools you need, directly from experienced pros.

Udemy

Those who have ever searched for any type of online course has likely come across Udemy. It’s a schmorgus-board of courses created by a variety of users. Here are three courses to start:

This is a fabulous course, and I would it give it six stars if such a rating were available! Everything is very clearly explained, and Andy promptly answers any question you might have. If you are interested in using and learning WordPress, you owe it to yourself to take this outstanding course.

— Testimonial from Robert Weiser, WordPress for Beginners – Master WordPress Quickly

You’ll find that all the courses range in quality and price. My suggestion? Sort by Most Reviewed when searching for a class — about WordPress or anything else.

WordPress.tv

On WordPress.tv you’ll have access to hundreds of free recording of in-person classes.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to acquire knowledge from tons of instructors, this is worth checking out.

Plus, once you get the hang of it and start training others in WordPress, you can record your own classes and upload them to the site.

Lynda

A monthly membership to Lynda will give you access to thousands of video tutorials. A deep-dive into their content equips students with what they need to succeed.

From setting up a domain and profile to installing plugins and creating custom themes, this course will show you everything you need to know to create a blog or website using WordPress.

— Shawn Hayes a web designer on WordPress Essential Training

It’s a comprehensive resource with high-quality videos and a huge database of subjects. If spend more time learning is on your New Year’s Resolution list, Lynda can help.

WP 101

Many people feel that community engagement is an important aspect of learning. If you study best with others, you might really like WP 101.

The difference at WP101 is that the entire team behind it are focused on education. They’re focused on making sure that you can learn. And to that end, the videos have a completely different feel… one that I think you’re going to appreciate.

— Chris Lema, Blogger, Speaker, Coach

Once you watch their screencasts, you can head over to the forum to get clarification on anything you don’t understand.

WordPress Lessons

This compilation isn’t a traditional set of courses. Rather, it’s a collection of straightforward tutorials from WordPress itself.

The WordPress Lessons website is fairly easy to navigate, since it’s the classic WordPress white, along with a bunch of links with clear labels. Start with WordPress for Beginners and work your way all the way up to Website Development.

— Joe Warnimont

Every beginner needs to know about WordPress Lessons. It’s a standard for anyone running a site, and needing skills to overcome specific issues.

Team Treehouse

Team Treehouse is one of the most popular ways for beginners to learn WordPress. You’ll learn at your own pace, and the library is overflowing with tutorials and videos. Coding challenges and quizzes keeps you engaged throughout the courses.

Most of this learning took place within the past 6 months, the time I’ve been learning with Treehouse. I’ve devoured their content. Massive chunks of it. I’ve designed, built and launched over 50 unique websites for myself, founded a freelance company, mastered 6 separate CMSs, conquered HTML and CSS and use preprocessors wherever I can. I’ve become comfortable with JavaScript, PHP and Ruby. I’ve used frameworks like jQuery, AngularJS, Meteor, Sinatra, Rails and Ionic. I’ve gotten my head around the Git workflow, the command line, how databases function, as well as built an entire iPhone app around a JSON REST API. I’ve learned by doing.

— Tyler Van Der Hoeven, Freelance Web Developer

As you can see, there’s much more to learn than just WordPress here. Once you’ve learned that platform, you can study about building iPhone apps, coding with CSS and much more!

Conclusion

Learning WordPress is more important than ever. The courses above are a great place to start. Dig in and start digesting the fundamentals.

Then, when the time is right, consider learning more about WordPress website management services.

This is for the business owner who knows how to do it, but has made the conscious decision to focus their time more on generating revenue.

Is learning WordPress online different?

WordPress Zoom Training
I am viewing your screen

We get this question all the time!  It’s true… learning WordPress online can be the wrong choice if you struggle with verbal communication. After all, we are not able to see your facial expressions during your online class. Instead, we rely on the words you say and your tone of voice.
The main advantage of online training is this:

you get a video recording of your training!

If you choose the online class format, you see my screen, hear my voice, and are able to ask me questions. But, mostly, I’m viewing your screen because you are doing all of the work! You’ll get personalized class information in advance and no one else will be included in the training.

Here’s what Emily Journey has to say about her own first experience  with a virtual online training:
“My first experience with virtual learning was not as the instructor but as the student. In 2011, I hired an expert to teach me about Search Engine Optimization. During our virtual training sessions, I was impressed with how easily we communicated.
Despite my initial hesitations about online learning, I am thankful that I took the plunge. I know it can seem “not quite as good” as face-to-face learning. I wondered:

  • Could I really learn this way?
  • Would I get as much value from the class?

Thankfully, I didn’t let my doubts get the best of me. That virtual training experience not only changed the way I did business – it changed my life.”

Take back control of your company website.

Do your website change requests seem to have fallen into a black hole? Unfortunately, you’re not the only one. Most employees do not have the knowledge required to make informed decisions about digital assets. Sometimes they end up outsourcing these important decisions to a third party.

Lack of in-house knowledge creates a costly dependency upon website developers.

Remove the middle man with WordPress Training. Your team will be equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to securely maintain and update the company website–all without having to deal with poor communication from third parties.

WordPress courses for beginners

Now, I’m going to provide you with the top WordPress training courses that are not live or customized for anyone who just wants to get a basic overview. Everyone has to start somewhere, and these posts will give you what you need. From the beginner to the Jedi — there’s something for every level of WordPress student.

In my experience, WordPress courses are a great way for beginners to get a handle on the system. You’ll learn everything you need to create and maintain a high-functioning website.

Here are a list of the top WordPress courses for your money…

Udemy

Those who have ever searched for any type of online course has likely come across Udemy. It’s a schmorgus-board of courses created by a variety of users. Here are three courses to start:

This is a fabulous course, and I would it give it six stars if such a rating were available! Everything is very clearly explained, and Andy promptly answers any question you might have. If you are interested in using and learning WordPress, you owe it to yourself to take this outstanding course.

— Testimonial from Robert Weiser, WordPress for Beginners – Master WordPress Quickly

You’ll find that all the courses range in quality and price. My suggestion? Sort by Most Reviewed when searching for a class — about WordPress or anything else.

WordPress.tv

On WordPress.tv you’ll have access to hundreds of free recording of in-person classes.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to acquire knowledge from tons of instructors, this is worth checking out.

Plus, once you get the hang of it and start training others in WordPress, you can record your own classes and upload them to the site.

WordPress Training by iThemes

“The iThemes team not only produces great products — the level of care and education they offer their customers helps them stand out from the crowd.”

— Chris Lema, ChrisLema.com

If you want a fulfilling class experience, head over and check out The WordPress Course by iThemes. Those who are looking for an experience that resembles a real classroom, this is the place to start. The training section includes:

  • Live FAQ sessions
  • Hundreds of recorded classes
  • Members-Only area

You’ll learn the skills and tools you need, directly from experienced pros.

WP 101

Many people feel that community engagement is an important aspect of learning. If you study best with others, you might really like WP 101.

The difference at WP101 is that the entire team behind it are focused on education. They’re focused on making sure that you can learn. And to that end, the videos have a completely different feel… one that I think you’re going to appreciate.

— Chris Lema, Blogger, Speaker, Coach

Once you watch their screencasts, you can head over to the forum to get clarification on anything you don’t understand.

WordPress Lessons

This compilation isn’t a traditional set of courses. Rather, it’s a collection of straightforward tutorials from WordPress itself.

The WordPress Lessons website is fairly easy to navigate, since it’s the classic WordPress white, along with a bunch of links with clear labels. Start with WordPress for Beginners and work your way all the way up to Website Development.

— Joe Warnimont

Every beginner needs to know about WordPress Lessons. It’s a standard for anyone running a site, and needing skills to overcome specific issues.

Team Treehouse

Team Treehouse is one of the most popular ways for beginners to learn WordPress. You’ll learn at your own pace, and the library is overflowing with tutorials and videos. Coding challenges and quizzes keeps you engaged throughout the courses.

Most of this learning took place within the past 6 months, the time I’ve been learning with Treehouse. I’ve devoured their content. Massive chunks of it. I’ve designed, built and launched over 50 unique websites for myself, founded a freelance company, mastered 6 separate CMSs, conquered HTML and CSS and use preprocessors wherever I can. I’ve become comfortable with JavaScript, PHP and Ruby. I’ve used frameworks like jQuery, AngularJS, Meteor, Sinatra, Rails and Ionic. I’ve gotten my head around the Git workflow, the command line, how databases function, as well as built an entire iPhone app around a JSON REST API. I’ve learned by doing.

— Tyler Van Der Hoeven, Freelance Web Developer

As you can see, there’s much more to learn than just WordPress here. Once you’ve learned that platform, you can study about building iPhone apps, coding with CSS and much more!

Lynda

A monthly membership to Lynda will give you access to thousands of video tutorials. A deep-dive into their content equips students with what they need to succeed.

From setting up a domain and profile to installing plugins and creating custom themes, this course will show you everything you need to know to create a blog or website using WordPress.

— Shawn Hayes a web designer on WordPress Essential Training

It’s a comprehensive resource with high-quality videos and a huge database of subjects. If spend more time learning is on your New Year’s Resolution list, Lynda can help.

Conclusion

Learning WordPress is more important than ever. The courses above are a great place to start. Dig in and start digesting the fundamentals.

Then, when the time is right, consider learning more about WordPress website management services.

This is for the business owner who knows how to do it, but has made the conscious decision to focus their time more on generating revenue.
