The half day workshop will give you an overview of WordPress and the awesome power that it is capable of. For 99% of business websites, WordPress is the only logical choice. The open source platform powers over 22% of websites on the entire internet, globally. There are over 30,000 plugins available, mostly for free, that allow you to extend the functionality of your website with a few clicks.

WordPress gives you as a user or business to power to control your destiny. Easily update your own website without having to continually pay website developers for basic changes like adding images, changing text or tweaking a page. Learn how to navigate your way around WordPress and understand about the key things you need to know.

This session is designed for people who want to learn how to use WordPress effectively within their own business. We won’t be going into the finer technical details or coding, we’ll leave that for a more advanced session if you would like to learn more about that.
