WordPress Training

BEGINNER TO WEBMASTER IN JUST ONE DAY!

Tuesday 20th November 2018

Why WordPress?

We work with WordPress because it is a fantastic content management system (CMS). It provides normal people like you with the freedom to manage your website.

You’ve almost certainly heard of WordPress, and if you haven’t then you’ve certainly visited hundreds of websites running it.

WordPress is the most popular website publishing system and is currently used by 25% of all websites on the internet
You’ll certainly hear people “in the know” and normal people tell you they find it easy to use
It makes you a cup of tea and brings you a biscuit*

It is most of these things and much more!

*not true yet, one day maybe.

WordPress is a fantastic content management system for many reasons, but without the right training, your investment in a WordPress website could leave you feeling like it was a waste of time and money.

Who is our WordPress Training for?

Past attendees have often been…

Marketing Managers and Marketing Coordinators because they use, or should use, WordPress everyday and want to be much more proficient.

Do you want a new website? Small business owners who want to create their own basic WordPress website after the training day.
Need to upgrade your existing website? If you want to move your existing website across to WordPress this is a great way to get started.

WordPress Training Testimonials

I found the WordPress in a day course engaging and informative. I feel Ben presented well and I now have the confidence to build a web page on my own and administer it myself. A huge amount of content was covered and I would recommend it to anyone looking to find their way around WordPress.

Sara Fitzgerald

Refreshing my knowledge with WordPress has never been so enjoyable.
Being shown all the back end skills by a professional who definitely knows what he was talking about (love your work Ben) really helped me to get back into the swing of running a website.
Informative and easy to keep pace with, I would definitely recommend this course to my colleagues.

Maddi Staader, Quality Air

I would like to Thank Ben and the superb team at Matter Solutions for their friendly guidance and excellent training! I attended the WordPress Training Session on Monday 29th January, knowing little about its features and capabilities. Wanting to learn the skills to manage, post and implement changes to a WordPress website this session was packed full of helpful tips, tricks and hands on training and expert guidance. During the session, Ben not only taught us the in’s and out’s of the WordPress Dashboard and its features such as Widgets, Plugins and more! But also gave us the opportunity to work on and test our skills out on our very own website which was a great way of experiencing working on the WordPress platform whilst having an expert in the room. I would recommend this course to anyone seeking some invaluable WordPress training and guidance! Thanks guys!

Ingrid Kirkpatrick, Conservergy

To decision makers considering buying this course for their staff, I would say that it’s money well spent. We flew three staff from Gladstone to Brisbane for one day of training, flying home, with the knowledge gained we knew it was money well spent. It was informative, practical and perfect for my business, I’d highly recommend it.

Aston Marks, AusProof

Ben was great. He has a very warm approach to teaching and was very patient.

Kim-Vu Salamonsen, Graphic Designer

Excellent content and very easy to understand. I got a great deal out of it.

Karyn Lohse, DV Connect

An excellent seminar.

I was impressed that Ben took the course himself as I imagine he is a busy man!
