Update Feb/2015: WordPress Essentials for Business is now the highest-rated and one of the most popular WordPress beginner courses on Udemy. When you take the course you will see why: we teach you in a progressive way that allows you to quickly pick-up the basics in order to create your first professional-looking website in as little as 90 minutes -- while at the same time covering 95% of the WordPress user-interface. The course will save you many hours of trial-and-error in setting up your first website -- while leading to a far more satisfying result. And, unlike other beginner WordPress courses, we cover topics that are key to creating a professional-looking website, such as theme selection, graphics sources, and more.

The WordPress software has revolutionized the web design business; and yet, finding a course that covers all the basics, is oriented to a non-technical audience, and gives practical advice on the commercial services that are imperative to making an attractive website, has proven to be difficult. WordPress Essentials for Business is designed to fill that training gap.

As an added bonus, the "Hosting WordPress" video (video #6 below in free preview) will show you where to find high-performance managed WordPress hosting at about 1/3 of the going rate. Get your site under managed hosting for the same price as conventional hosting!

Note: we will be updating and adding content over the next few months covering SEO, eCommerce, Google Analytics, and more.

WordPress Essentials for Business is a quick (90 min) but thorough overview of using WordPress to create a business website. It is designed for busy small-business owners and self-employed professionals who want to quickly master the WordPress software for the purpose of creating an attractive website that generates leads and sales.

The course covers almost all of the WordPress user interface. We learn by doing as we build out an actual website for a client of ours, explaining and demonstrating key concepts along the way, such as themes, plugins, widgets, images, etc. Students should download the project files from

and then follow the tutorial on their own website, repeating the keystrokes and mouse sequences as they build out their own site. You can expect to walk away from this training with an attractive website and a solid understanding of WordPress fundamentals.

To take this course you will need a self-hosted WordPress website under your own domain and hosting account, and we will show you how to set that up. Domains cost about $10/yr and a hosting account will cost you an additional $7-12/mth, and will host all of your business and personal websites.
