WordPress Training

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 30% 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 (not true yet, one day maybe.)

It is most of these things and much more!

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.
  • Business Owner/Managers because they’d like to understand what they’ve bought or are buying. Some even use our training make a start on building their own website. Everyone finds that they can manage their own content without having to pay a full-blown website designer.
  • Uni Students wanting to gain valuable skills for the workforce.

Why do people come to our WordPress Training?

People who come to our training usually fit into one of the following groups:

  • 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.
  • Had a WordPress website built by a website designer or a friend (of a friend) and you need some guidance on getting the most out of it.

Non-Technical Training

This is not a technical course, we don’t teach programming. We will touch on some elements of how the programming works behind the scenes but our focus is on getting you practical pragmatic help to use your website, not on becoming a website builder.

You will learn how to:

  1. Build your very own WordPress website

  2. Set-up your WordPress website for use as a Personal Blog or a Business Website with a Blog

  3. The difference between pages and posts

  4. Add and edit pages, learn about the options and features of the standard WordPress website

  5. Install a standard theme to give your website a design layout

  6. How to manage widgets and menus

  7. Customise the theme to add a header and colours

  8. How to backup and upgrade your website

There will be time to work on your own WordPress websites, addressing any queries and confusions you may have so make sure to bring in all of your questions. This WordPress training runs from 8.30am to 4:30pm.

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! 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. Ben taught us the in’s and out’s of the WordPress Dashboard and its features such as Widgets, Plugins and more! I would recommend this course to anyone seeking some invaluable WordPress training and guidance!

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.
