DESCRIPTION WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. Since it's inception in 2003, WordPress has grown to become one of the largest self-hosted CMS and blogging tools in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. WordPress is completely customizable and can be used for almost anything. It is also an 'Open Source' project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it. (More than most commercial platforms.) It also means you are free to use it for anything without paying anyone a license fee. For all of these reasons (and many more), WordPress is now the platform of choice when a quick, robust CMS/blogging solution is required.

However, installing and mastering the software and it's many uses can initially be a daunting task. This one day intensive course gives you a complete and detailed overview of WordPress: from downloading and installing the software, through learning how to use it quickly and effectively, to customising WordPress and highlighting some the options open to you for expanding on it's possibilities and potential. The perfect course for those looking to master the software within the minimum amount of time and expense.
