The curriculum
What's inside your school
6 modules · 24 lessons
Getting WordPress Online
Lays the essential groundwork before touching WordPress itself. Students learn how the web works, secure a domain and hosting account, perform a clean WordPress installation, and orient themselves inside the dashboard — ensuring every subsequent module builds on a correctly configured, live site.
- 1.1Domains, Hosting, and How WordPress WorksIncluded
- 1.2Installing WordPress from ScratchIncluded
- 1.3Navigating the WordPress DashboardIncluded
Designing Your Site with Themes
Covers the complete theme workflow: evaluating and installing a quality theme, customizing every visual aspect to match a brand, and assembling a high-converting homepage. A prerequisite lesson on planning site structure and branding is added here because students must have a clear creative direction before customizing anything — a gap in the original draft.
- 2.1Planning Your Site Structure and Brand IdentityIncluded
- 2.2Choosing and Installing the Right ThemeIncluded
- 2.3Customizing Your Theme with the WordPress CustomizerIncluded
- 2.4Building a Homepage That ConvertsIncluded
Creating Content with the Block Editor
Builds confident, fluent use of the Gutenberg block editor — from foundational block mechanics to polished page layouts to a well-structured blog. A dedicated lesson on media management is added because students working with images, video, and documents across pages and posts need a clean Media Library workflow before content volume grows.
- 3.1Gutenberg Essentials — Blocks, Patterns, and the ToolbarIncluded
- 3.2Managing Media — Images, Video, and the Media LibraryIncluded
- 3.3Building Polished PagesIncluded
- 3.4Writing and Managing Blog PostsIncluded
Powering Your Site with Plugins
Equips students to find, evaluate, install, and configure the plugins every serious WordPress site needs — while building the critical judgment to avoid plugin bloat, conflicts, and security vulnerabilities. The original draft's 'Contact Forms and Site Speed' lesson is split into two focused lessons for appropriate depth, and a lesson on plugin evaluation and safety is preserved as the essential foundation.
- 4.1Installing and Managing Plugins SafelyIncluded
- 4.2SEO — Getting Found on GoogleIncluded
- 4.3Security — Protecting Your SiteIncluded
- 4.4Contact Forms — Collecting Leads and InquiriesIncluded
- 4.5Site Speed — Making WordPress FastIncluded
Selling Online with WooCommerce
Delivers a complete, production-ready WooCommerce store build — from initial installation through payments, shipping, taxes, and order management. A new prerequisite lesson on payments and taxes is inserted before product management because students must have a working payment gateway and tax configuration before they can meaningfully test the purchase flow.
- 5.1Setting Up Your WooCommerce StoreIncluded
- 5.2Configuring Payments, Shipping, and TaxIncluded
- 5.3Adding and Managing ProductsIncluded
- 5.4Managing Orders, Coupons, and the StoreIncluded
Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your WordPress Site
Ensures students can keep their site healthy, recover from disasters, and fix common problems — all without hiring a developer. A new lesson on user management and handoff is added because many students will be building sites for clients or collaborators, and understanding roles, capabilities, and safe handoff procedures is a critical real-world skill not covered in the original draft.
- 6.1Backups and Updates — Your Safety NetIncluded
- 6.2Troubleshooting Common WordPress ProblemsIncluded
- 6.3Managing Users, Roles, and Client HandoffIncluded
- 6.4Performance Monitoring and Long-Term Site ManagementIncluded

If you've ever stared at a blank browser tab thinking "I really need a website, but I have no idea where to start" — this letter is for you.
Maybe you've Googled "how to make a WordPress site" and ended up more confused than when you started, swimming in terms like cPanel, PHP, and nameservers. Maybe you got as far as signing up for hosting and then quietly gave up. Or maybe you have a site already, but you're terrified to touch it in case something breaks and you can't fix it. I've seen all of these moments, and I want you to know: none of that is your fault. WordPress is genuinely powerful — and that means it can feel genuinely overwhelming without a clear, friendly guide.
That's exactly what I built this course to be. Every lesson is laid out the way I'd explain it to a friend sitting next to me at a coffee shop — step by step, no skipped steps, no "just do this" without explaining why. We start from the very first click (picking a domain name) and finish with a fully live, professionally designed website that you understand inside and out. Along the way, we cover designing with themes, building pages with the Gutenberg block editor, adding the right plugins for SEO, security, and speed, and — if you want to sell things — setting up a complete WooCommerce store. I celebrate every small win with you, because every small win matters.
The part I'm most proud of is the final section, on maintenance and troubleshooting. Most courses leave you on your own the moment your site goes live. This one doesn't. I'll show you how to back your site up properly, run updates without fear, diagnose the most common problems, and manage your site confidently for years to come. You won't need to hire anyone to keep things running — and that's the whole point.
You deserve a website that works for you, built by you. I'm here to make sure you get there — one clear, jargon-free step at a time. Let's build something great.
