I started building websites in 2006 with no idea what SEO even meant. I just knew I loved taking a concept and making it appear digitally in the form of a website. Years later, I discovered that SEO wasn’t just technical; it was a way to help people find what they’re looking for. I have a background in Spanish Linguistics that allowed me to see SEO as a language to learn. Now I lead SEO Training and Strategy for clients across industries. One of my deepest passions is helping businesses and organizations get found online.

WordPress is only easy if you know how to use it.

Emily Journey, Director of Instruction

Have you ever felt frustrated by the unresponsiveness of a website agency? I know we sure have. We know firsthand the challenges businesses face when they are stranded by an unreliable web manager. If you don’t have control of your website, implementing small changes could take days (or even weeks).

In the meantime . . .

your company’s time, money, and reputation circle the drain while you wait for important website updates. You don’t have to let that happen anymore.

INDIVIDUAL OR TEAM TRAINING?

Before you opt for WordPress classes near you, think about the legwork that goes into managing your website. Would your time be better spent elsewhere? If you have more complex website help needs or are short on time, we offer WordPress maintenance plans and WooCommerce maintenance plans.

The entire process felt personal

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'll get things off the ground by securing a spot on our calendar. Once we have decided on the training date(s), 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 Zoom as you are guided through the steps of managing WordPress.

Give your team the skills they need to be successful

Have your employees ever gotten frustrated or behind schedule due to an unresponsive website agency? You're not the only one with this concern.

We’ve worked with clients in many industries to repair their websites. We know the challenges businesses face with a website abandoned by its original creator.

Does your sales department consider your company website a valuable asset in closing sales? Too many teams lack internal command of the company website, which affects your bottom line. This lack of control means your staff may have to wait days (or even weeks) to implement changes or new campaigns.

With our staff WordPress training in Southern California, Emily Journey can help you remove the middleman and give your team control over updates. Each of your team members will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to run, maintain, and update your company website--all without dealing with poor communication from third parties.
