About this course

Why students take this

For non-developers who own a WordPress site and want to stop being scared of it. Two weeks of practical workshops on theme updates, plugin choices, content management, SEO basics, and backup hygiene.

By the end you can confidently maintain your own site, fix the small stuff yourself, and know exactly when to call a developer.

  • Dashboard, posts, pages, media library
  • Themes + page builders — the right defaults
  • Plugins you need (caching, SEO, security) — and ones to avoid
  • Backups, updates, the bare-minimum security checklist
  • SEO basics: titles, meta, Search Console, GA4
