WordPress for Beginners
Designed to equip you with the skills required to use WordPress to administer your business website or blog.
Speaker: Zoe Brown (MD)
Dates: February 3rd (10am - 2pm)

Who should attend?
This is a comprehensive workshop perfect for those who have just started out with WordPress or want to better understand how to make the most of their existing WordPress website. It is also perfect for those who need to manage WordPress websites for their own clients.
We will not be looking at how to design a WordPress site (leave that to the experts!) but we will be looking very thoroughly under-the-hood at how to use it for business.
This is not just a basic how-to-blog workshop.
How will I benefit?
You will leave this workshop with confidence in your own new skills. Zoe will show how to make sure that your WordPress website is kept safe, secure and optimised for search engines.
You will learn how to add new functionality to your website as your business grows and you will look at how blogging can be used to drive the right kind of traffic to your website.
