Training Testimonials

Instead of this being a vague, generalized class where only a few things pertained to my situation, the entire time was valuable, and targeted at ways I can improve my website. This was one of the most valuable training sessions I have attended. In addition, the entire process felt personal.
I recently completed the Website Design and SEO class through Emily Journey. Darlene was my teacher and the session was one-on-one, which meant we could focus on specifics related to my website instead of a generalized course with several other people. Darlene was extremely helpful and offered many good suggestions without harshly criticizing the current state of the website. This has been one of the best training classes I have taken. I am grateful to have found out about the TechCred program in Ohio and to have been approved to receive state reimbursement to take this class. I highly recommend Emily Journey & Associates and their approach to training classes.

“We highly recommend Emily Journey & her team. We had Rachel train a couple of our team members how to create and maintain a WordPress website and she was fantastic. They are timely, communicative and thorough in their work and communications. Couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“Erin provided excellent insights and tools for my SEO training. She was clearly knowledgeable and came well prepared for the session. I was very impressed.”

“Thank you again for coming and working with our team the past few days. It was so eye opening and informative! You get 5 Stars!!!!
We have results! We were impatient, lol, and looked for results on our phones last night and we’re ranked 3rd in organic!!!!!

“Working with Emily is seriously awesome! She knows the questions that I don’t even know to ask. She even threw in her knowledge of SEO so that I can build my website in the smartest way possible. She saved me a lot of time–a rare commodity. I can get this website job done so that I can totally focus on the work of earning new customers. Worth every penny.”

“After some research and reviewing references, we chose Emily Journey and Associates to provide WordPress training for our team. Emily was personable, effective and thorough in her approach to instruction. She was able to accommodate the diversity of skill levels and knowledge among our students and keep the classes moving. Since the class we have all been able to function successfully in the WordPress environment – and it’s great to know that follow up assistance was included in our instructional package. Emily will impress and then empower. She is a true professional and knows how to create a great learning moment.”

“I recommend Emily’s workshops as they are very informative with an open platform of instruction, questions and answers, and suggestions. Emily even helped me outside of the workshop time as I worked on my website. After taking all of the workshops which pertained to my website, I was able to design and create a professional website I felt truly reflected my company and its values.”

“The virtual training was exactly what I needed to get up to speed on handling our website. The bonus was that we addressed all of my current updates during the sessions, and I have a list of ongoing improvements that I know exactly how to handle. Having the training sessions broken into 2 four-hour sessions allowed me to get started – and then try things by myself with another chance to clear up anything I didn’t quite get. Thanks!”

“I attended Emily’s WordPress training sessions and her SEO training presentation. All of them were extremely helpful and offered powerful information to help us build customized websites and achieve high search engine rankings. With her friendly personality and organized style, Emily taught us how to best use WordPress and SEO to meet our website objectives. She also offered plugin and theme recommendations, and other resources to help us accomplish our business goals. She addressed each question with a thoughtful, helpful response, and tailored each presentation to the specific needs of the group. Emily is a skilled, experienced presenter that has a unique gift for taking complicated information and explaining it in a way that everyone can understand. Even an experienced WordPress user would gain insight and tips from her presentations. I highly recommend Emily for any type of presentation, training or public speaking event.”

“We connected and within a week we had a 2 hour virtual consultation scheduled. We implemented her training on our site. Within 2 days of posting our SEO strategy pages, there we were, on page 1 of Google in #1 position. Thanks Emily!”

“The web class Emily Journey held with me was fantastic. She quickly took me from nothing to setting up the hosting, installing WordPress, picking a theme and doing the design. BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! We had an issue with the hoster and she assisted getting it working and did after hours work to get us back on track. The next day she educated me on her changes so I could continue on my own. I’ve had a few questions since our session and she’s been extremely responsive.”

“Emily, I wanted to let you know that I just booked my first seminar. I used the SEO technique that you shared with me during our time together. Thank you so much for that wonderful tip!”

“As a beginner in building a website I feel very fortunate to have found and to have attended the WordPress classes by Emily Journey. She helped me get my website up and running and opened my eyes to what is possible with WordPress. Time certainly well spent.”

“The knowledge that I’ve acquired from working with Emily has paid for itself many times over. Emily is a fantastic teacher and has given me the confidence and tools to build and manage my site. This has saved me an enormous amount of time and money while also giving me the freedom to take my ideas and bring them to life on my site the right way. I recommend anyone looking to learn the how, what, and why’s of WordPress to hire Emily.”

“Rachel was able to take me from someone who knew very little about WordPress to someone who now is very confident in making changes to our company website. She even increased my knowledge on SEO and taught me ways to further benefit our company in the future.”

“Rachel was amazing! She has a deep level of knowledge about WordPress and her patience and skill made me far more confident in managing my own website. She was a pleasure to work with, and the remote sessions worked perfectly – it was as if she was sitting next to me throughout. Definitely worthwhile for beginning and intermediate users of WordPress!”

“Having someone like Rachel work with you when you need help is a great way to learn. So now, I can change the website myself, update at will, and insure the commerce side of my website is working properly.
Since taking Rachel’s class, I have updated 4 sites, which allows me to pursue my businesses without any website delays.”

“You and your company are a godsend to people like me who are trying to manage a website for our little clubs. Money extremely well spent. It is very rewarding to learn how to manage these websites. And the board members have commented on how more professional it looks. I am very grateful to Mark. He’s excellent!”

“We had a great experience with Rachel! We started looking to upgrade our website and needed some help with design, and Rachel went beyond the call. She was very professional and knew exactly what was needed to be done to get our new site up and running. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn more about WordPress!”

“The training was great! Mark is fantastic. Our webmaster left quickly and unexpectedly, and I was handed the job of updating and posting daily to our site having never used WordPress before. Mark was able to patiently guide me through WordPress and our rather complex site. Thanks to Mark, we haven’t missed a beat during the transition.”

“I needed to learn WordPress in a very short timeframe because I was taking over the job of webmaster on a web site that had been maintained by a private vendor. I found Emily Journey and Associates after looking at several other sites to see how they might fill my need for non-generic training. Not only were the other companies terribly priced; but they seemed to only offer a “one size fits all” course. Emily was willing to work with me and hone in on what I will be required to maintain and create on the web site I inherited. She is an excellent trainer and easy to work with (I think we developed a very good rapport right off the bat). I believe I was taught everything I’ll need to know and the fact that she offers her time after the training for personal support was another plus.”

“I did the training virtually from Denver and had an extremely positive experience. I learned all the little details I was missing in order to connect the website development dots. The training was invaluable because it empowered me to rely on myself to achieve our organizational website goals as opposed to depending on our developer.”

“Thank you so much for helping set up my website and showing me how to use WordPress. Your training turned the intimidating task of website development into something that was well started by the end of the session. After the training, I was able to add content to the site without problems using the techniques you showed me.”

“After training with Mark at EJ&A, I feel very competent to get under the hood of our WordPress based site and make changes, add images, and even create new pages. The class was time and money well spent.”
