WordPress is the foundation of more than 40% of all websites on the internet, from personal blogs to company portals, e-commerce stores, portfolios, and everything in between. This course demystifies WordPress by starting with the essentials—domain registration, web hosting, and installing WordPress—before guiding you through a logical progression of skill development. You’ll learn to master the intuitive WordPress dashboard, publish and organize blog posts and pages, and use themes to style your site.

Key modules include:

• Getting Started: Setting up domains, hosting, and installing WordPress.

By the end of the course, students will have built a complete, fully functional website and have the skills necessary to continue learning or move into more complex development tasks — such as custom theme and plugin creation.
