Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this wordpress class:

WordPress is awesome, but often misunderstood. Is it a blogging platform? A CMS? Should you buy a custom theme or develop your own? WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org?

In this course you’ll develop a custom site starting from scratch. Basically, you’ll take a static front-end HTML/CSS template and do all the necessary magic to have that site running live and dynamic using WordPress.

Afterwards, your clients will be able to edit content themselves, manage the site’s navigation, and leverage an array of existing plug-ins that will help take the site from a simple blog to a fully functional CMS. All customizable; all on WordPress.

Due to the current health concerns, all GA short-form events, workshops & bootcamps will temporarily be held online - including this one.

Registered participants will be notified 24 hours in advance of this program with information on how to log in to the Zoom Meeting Room and other tools you’ll need for the session. Registration for this offering will close 2 hours prior to the session start in order to allow all students ample opportunity to have the technology enabled.

General Assembly’s classes, workshops and events are recreational and for avocational purposes only. No certificate is awarded.

Question from Angie
Hello, I would like to learn how to build a Wordpress site through my Bluehost account which is where my URL is hosted. It seems the setup for this is a little different to get it started, would this be covered in the class? Thanks! Angie
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Angie! This would be an OK fit. The goal of the boot camp is to give a holistic approach to many use cases with Wordpress. Hosting through a host like Bluehost will be covered as one of several scenarios. As long as the student understands that they may sit through more material than just that, they will probably get a lot out of the class. If they are only attending to get their site up and running, there may be a lot of extra material that doesn’t apply to them. Thank you.
