About this course

Why students take this

WordPress still powers 40%+ of the web — and it pays. This cohort is for students who want a focused, hireable skill: building professional WordPress sites for real businesses, fast.

We start with the WordPress admin and themes, then dive into block editor (Gutenberg), Elementor, custom fields with ACF, plugins that matter (and the ones to avoid), security hardening, and turnkey SEO. By the end you'll have built three full client-style sites and know how to charge for them.

What you'll ship

  • A WooCommerce store with payment + inventory + shipping
  • A business landing page with custom design (not a template)
  • A multi-language blog with proper SEO + caching
  • The freelance toolkit: contracts, hosting setup, handover docs

Outcomes

What you’ll walk away with

Every outcome below is something a graduate can demonstrate on the last day of class — not a vague promise.

  • 01

    Ship 3+ real projects deployed on the open web

  • 02

    Read other people's code and contribute confidently

  • 03

    Land a developer role or freelance with paying clients
