Wordpress Bootcamp

Looking for code-free web development? This bootcamp is for you.

For those who want to launch a website but can't commit to hiring a developer or learn to code from scratch, Wordpress is a great place to start. Wordpress accommodates websites of varying complexity and caters to all skill levels. It's the perfect platform to launch a beautiful, responsive website, whether for personal or business.

25% of the top sites on the Internet are built using Wordpress: This includes The New Yorker, Fortune.com, and Reuters.com. Beginners can use Wordpress' vast array of themes and plugins to build beautiful and dynamic websites without having to touch a line of code, while advanced developers can download the source code package and build their own applications on top of the Wordpress CMS. Businesses of all sizes rely on Wordpress to bring their products and services to life. In this workshop you will learn how to setup, build, and deploy a Wordpress site to the web.

You'll leave the workshop being able to create pages, install plugins, add widgets, and much more. This is perfect for those looking to launch a website without learning how to code, or those looking to manage or make edits to a Wordpress-run site, such as a microsite or client blog.

No coding experience is required, however Junior Web Developers are welcome as there will be an opportunity to dive into customization. Wordpress is a content management system for building websites that has grown to now power over 25% of the top 10 million websites on the Internet.
