How the Manchester web design course works

  • This is an intensive course and assumes a reasonable working knowledge of using computers and the internet, even if you have little or no prior knowledge of WordPress. If you are comfortable with using email, copy/paste, saving files/folders and navigating the internet, you should be fine!
  • Arrive at 9.30am to get online, and for tea and coffee ready for a 9.45am start . We will cover all the basics of WordPress and have your own site up and running before lunch!
  • After a break for lunch, we’ll go through everything WordPress can do in more detail.  You will learn how to control the structure, look and feel and add essential features like pages, text/images and forms. Learn how to track visitors, get ranked well on search engines, take easy PayPal payments on your site and much, much more.
  • The course ends by 5pm
  • You will be invited to stay around for further discussion with your trainer Toby and with each other, about WordPress, about your website and about your business.  You are welcome to stay for drinks, food and further discussion as long as as you like – a great networking opportunity!
  • After the course, you will be sent all the course materials and clear instructions for setting up your site on its own domain name (old or new).  You will have a year of free hosting, after which time it is from just £8/mo for unlimited space and bandwidth.
