Unlock the Power of WordPress: Personalised Training in Brisbane

July 19, 2024 By

In today’s digital age, having a strong online presence is crucial for any business or individual. Whether you’re a small business owner, a blogger, or an entrepreneur, a well-designed website can make all the difference. Among the various website platforms available, WordPress stands out as a powerful, flexible, and user-friendly option. If you’re in Brisbane, personalised one-on-one WordPress training can help you unlock the full potential of this platform. Let’s explore the benefits of WordPress over other website platforms and the advantages of customised, face-to-face training.

Why Choose WordPress Over Other Website Platforms?

1. User-Friendly Interface WordPress boasts an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, making it accessible for users of all skill levels. Unlike other platforms that may require coding knowledge, WordPress allows you to manage and update your website with minimal technical expertise.

2. Flexibility and Customisation With thousands of themes and plugins available, WordPress offers unparalleled flexibility and customisation options. Whether you need a simple blog or a complex e-commerce site, WordPress can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

3. SEO-Friendly WordPress is built with search engine optimization (SEO) in mind. Its clean code, responsive design, and plugins like Yoast SEO make it easier to optimize your site for search engines, helping you rank higher in search results.

4. Strong Community Support With a vast global community of developers and users, WordPress offers extensive support and resources. From forums and tutorials to plugins and updates, you can always find help when you need it.

5. Cost-Effective WordPress is an open-source platform, meaning it’s free to use. While you may incur costs for hosting, premium themes, and plugins, overall, WordPress is a cost-effective solution compared to many proprietary platforms.

Advantages of Customised, Personalised, Face-to-Face Training

1. Tailored Learning Experience Personalised training sessions are designed to meet your unique needs and goals. Instead of following a generic curriculum, you’ll receive instruction that focuses on the specific aspects of WordPress that matter most to you.

2. Immediate Feedback and Support One-on-one training provides the opportunity for immediate feedback and support. If you encounter any issues or have questions, your trainer can address them on the spot, ensuring you stay on track.

3. Hands-On Practice Face-to-face training allows for hands-on practice with real-time guidance. You’ll work directly on your website, making changes and updates as you learn, which reinforces your understanding and builds your confidence.

4. Accelerated Learning Customized training can accelerate your learning process. With a dedicated trainer, you’ll progress faster than in a group class or through self-study, quickly gaining the skills you need to manage and grow your website.

5. Build a Personal Connection Working closely with a trainer helps build a personal connection, fostering a supportive learning environment. This relationship can lead to ongoing mentorship and support as you continue to develop your WordPress skills.

WordPress is a powerful and versatile platform that can help you create a professional and effective website. With personalized, face-to-face training in Brisbane, you can unlock the full potential of WordPress and take your online presence to the next level.

Managing Your WordPress Website

August 7, 2017 By

WordPress is by far the most popular platform for creating a website for a whole lot of reasons… It is easy to use, it is flexible and extensible (with plugins), it is Search Engine Friendly, it is easy to change the look and feel (with themes) to name just a few.

But as well as adding and updating content on your WordPress website, it is also important that you undertake regular maintenance activies such as :

  • Backups – you should not rely on restoring from a backup that your host provider may or may not have done… much better for you to create and manage your own (offiste) backups
  • WordPress core updates – WordPress has a major update about every 3 months or so, it is important (for security if nothing else) that these updates are applied regularly
  • Plugin Updates – plugins also update fairly regularly, with security patches, bug fixes and function enhancements
  • Analytics / Search Console monitoring – keeping an eye on how your website visitors find and interact with your site is important

We recommend checking and applying updates to your WordPress Website on at least a monthly basis, and if you want to do well on Google it is a good idea to add or update content regularly as well.

If you are not comfortable doing these types of updates, we can provide you with the website training you need to kae thios a lot easeir, or you could consider using a third party Website Management Service.

WordPress Training Options

February 15, 2015 By

We often get asked to explain the various options for WordPress Training – so this post provides an outline of the different WP Training options that we offer in Brisbane – along with some guidelines as to which training option is most relevant to you….

WordPress Workshop

how-to-use-wordpress

This is a small group workshop designed specifically for complete beginners. It is a one day (8hr) classroom style training session, where each participant has there own PC to work on.

We cover the fundamentals of websites in this workshop, including how to register a domain, setup hosting, install WordPress, and then how to create and manage a WordPress website.

If you have ANY experience in websites, or WordPress, then you may find that One on One training (see below) is a more effective training option for you.

This is a very hands on, and at the end of the day you will have a LIVE WordPress website that you have created yourself.

For more information contact us or see Website In a Day

One on One WordPress Training

If you have an existing WordPress based website, or already have some experience with Websites or WordPress, then One on One training is likely to be a better option for you.

We customise this training to meet your specific needs and level of experience… we can skip over the things you are already comfortable with, and concentrate on the WordPress features that you want to learn more about.

For more information contact us or see One on One WordPress Training

WordPress Consulting

If you have an extra feature or better functionality added to your existing WordPress website and don’t necessarily need (or want) to know how it is done…. we can do it for you.  Usually we can add extra functuionality to your site oursleves, a lot faster than we can teach you how to do it… so consulting can be a very efficient way to improve your site.

(note: we can include some Web Consulting as part of a One on One WordPress Training package if you like).

WordPress 3.4 Released

June 14, 2012 By

Today saw the release of WordPress 3.4.  This was a fairly significant release with a swag of new features and functionality as outlined below :

WordPress Theme Customisation

The biggest change in WP 3.4 for users is the theme customizer.  This new features (found in Appearence >> Themes and then clicking on the customise link) allows WP administrators to play around with various looks and settings for either the currently active theme (or a theme you are considering switching to) without publishing the changes to the live site.  The options available for this feature are theme dependent.

It’s al;so now easier to browse thorugh the themes you have installed.

WordPress Customised Headers

If you are using a theme that supports custom headers, it is now possible to select images from the WP media library to modify your header images, and it is now easy (without hacking code) to choose the height and width of your header images.

WordPressTwitter Embedding

WordPress support for twitter embeds has also been given a big boost: simply paste  a Twitter permalink on its own line in the editor and and WordPress 3.4 automatically it into a fabulous embedded Tweet.

See the Official WordPress 3.4 Release video below with a summary of the new features :
