Intro to WordPress

Get started with WordPress in this free webinar. Whether you’re interested in starting a blog/website or managing a WordPress site, you’ll see how WordPress can help. All skill levels are welcome (no web coding experience is required).

What do the NY Times, Jay-Z, Sony, and Vogue all have in common? They all use WordPress! WordPress is the most widely used blogging and website creation platform (used on over 40% of all websites and growing). It’s free, open source, and aims to let anyone (from novice to experienced) get a website or blog up and running in minutes.

WordPress can do more than just publish a blog. WordPress is also a powerful means of managing a website. Instead of manually coding each page of a website by hand, you use the WordPress admin interface to fill in content, create pages, control settings, and more. Want to make an e-commerce store or optimize your site for Google? Thanks to a huge community of WordPress developers, there are a wide variety of templates and plugins (free or paid) to choose from.

This is the perfect way to learn about WordPress before you dive into one of our hands-on WordPress classes (in-person in NYC or live online).
