WordPress is the most widely used platform for websites. Intuitive. Customisable. Equally suited to freelancers and businesses.
There are many ways to learn WordPress. Here is an overview of the best options for WordPress beginners.
Online courses – from 19 euros
Platforms like Udemy offer good WordPress courses for beginners. You get a solid overview of the basics. A good starting point for your further journey with this CMS.
Tutorials on YouTube – Free
Hundreds of thousands of hours of tutorial videos on WordPress. Search for „WordPress for beginners“. Watch a few videos and find the style that suits you. Personally, I prefer English-language tutorials. The ads can be a nuisance. But that is what ad blockers are for.
One of the strengths of WordPress: its large community. If you have a question, someone has probably already answered it. A Google search or a forum like StackExchange will help.
Private WordPress Training – from 69 euros / hour
Would you like personal support? A private tutor tailors the lessons precisely to your needs. Instant feedback. Direct questions. More expensive than other options, but often the most efficient method. Contact me for remote WordPress training.
Which method suits you depends on your learning type. And on how much time and budget you want to invest. Use these resources to get started with WordPress.
I wish you every success.
Yours, Martin Pletzenauer
