How to Create Your Own Self-Hosted WordPress Website

Everything you need to know to install and setup your own WordPress Website

So you know you want to use WordPress, but you need someone to hold your hand through all the tech. No problem. This course takes you through choosing a domain name, choosing your hosting (I give you two options, GreenGeeks and GoDaddy, but the process is very similar for other hosts). Once you've got it installed and live, I will take you through the next steps to keep your site relatively hacker safe. If you have any questions I'm super easy to reach, and there's a community to join in case you need the support! Looking forward to working with you! Let's get started!!

Greetings everyone! I'm so excited you're here! So who am I to be teaching website design and WordPress? I have been a web and graphic designer for going on 18 (ouch!) years. Literally since Adobe Photoshop 2.0 - which was installed with floppy disks! I'm excited to share all I've learned about making web and graphic design a quick, consistent and productive process.

If you need to reach me, hit me up on Twitter, over on our Facebook page, or in our Community Group!

See you in class!
