Who is teaching this course?
Hello there. I have been designing websites for 18 years, using WordPress exclusively for 9 years and teaching my clients how to use and take control of their websites for just as long. Over the years of developing and designing hundreds of websites, I have discovered tools that make the job easier and more efficient. I want to share these easy tools with you and show you how to use them. In this course, I walk you through the steps of designing, building, and launching your own professional website. I bet you will find designing your own website is empowering and a lot of fun!
