Programme overview
WordPress Website Development is an eight-week build programme that takes learners from domains, hosting and project planning through WordPress administration, content architecture, responsive page construction, forms, SEO, performance, security, backup, deployment and client handover.
The course emphasises production discipline. Each learner finishes with a responsive business website and a professional launch, maintenance and handover pack rather than a classroom-only demo.
