WordPress Workshop Vienna: 1:1 Online Coaching for DACH

Are you looking for a WordPress workshop in Vienna? I offer intensive 1:1 WordPress coaching online — via Zoom or MS Teams, on your own site. The workshop character (intensive, focused, hands-on) remains: you learn directly on your project while staying flexible with your time. In this post I explain how it works, what you get out of it and how we go about it. If you are not yet sure whether 1:1 coaching or a structured WordPress course in Vienna is right for you: further down you will find a clear decision guide.

Transparency up front: I no longer offer group workshops at the moment. Everything runs as 1:1 — one person, one trainer, full focus on your specific site and your questions.

A quick word on the format: I teach exclusively online via video, not in a seminar room in Vienna. In return, we work on your own website, bookable from one hour, € 109 per hour excl. VAT. You will find all the details, content and the enquiry form on my page about WordPress training for Vienna.

Why 1:1 coaching instead of a group workshop?

Group workshops always involve a compromise: pace, prior knowledge, topics. Those who are faster get bored. Those who are slower cannot keep up. Anyone with a specific problem on their site will not get it solved in a group, because that would go beyond the scope.

1:1 solves all of that. We take your real site, your real questions, your real blockers — and work on them until they are gone. The pace adapts. Topics come from your reality, not from a curriculum.

• Your own pace
• Your own project
• Full attention
• Screen sharing or remote access to your site
• Recording of the session, if you like

If you are unsure: read my post Learning WordPress — how long does it really take? and decide afterwards.

What you learn in a coaching session

Depending on your starting point, a typical 1:1 coaching session covers:

Setup & basic concepts. Hosting, domain, WordPress installation. If you do not have a domain yet, you register one. I go through the WordPress hosting options for Austria (World4you, Hosttech, EasyName, as well as international ones such as Cloudways) — you choose the one for your project.

Themes, pages, posts. You install a theme (Astra or GeneratePress, depending on your goals), set up the page structure and fill the first pages — I guide you via screen sharing. This is where you really get to understand the difference between pages and posts — not just as a definition, but on your own site.

Page builder or block editor. Depending on the project, you work with the native Gutenberg editor or with Elementor. Both have their place — I base my recommendation on your project, not on fashion trends.

Plugins & security. Which plugins are indispensable? How do you install them safely? What are the first security measures you should implement straight away? With guidance, you set up an SEO plugin (Rank Math or Yoast), a caching plugin and a security plugin.

Wrap-up & next steps. You receive a checklist for the next 30 days and my contact details for follow-up questions.

What you have after an intensive session: a WordPress website that is live online, with a theme, at least three filled pages, three installed plugins and a working backup. No “in theory you could now …”, but: live, visible, documented.

How many sessions do you need?

That depends on your starting point and goal. Three typical scenarios:

One intensive session (3–4 hours). Enough for: onboarding onto an existing site, solving a specific problem, a page builder crash course.

Three to four sessions of 2 hours each, spread over 2–3 weeks. Enough for: setting up a complete new site with guidance — you do the work, I coach.

Longer 1:1 support over several months. If you do not just want to build a site, but want to learn WordPress in depth so you can later work with it commercially.

We clarify what suits you in a 20-minute preliminary call — free of charge and without obligation.

How the online coaching works technically

Tool: Zoom or MS Teams for video plus screen sharing. If you need to show something that only happens in your environment, we take a look via AnyDesk or TeamViewer. You always stay in control — I watch, but I do not click without agreeing it with you first.

Recommended setup: Two screens are ideal. Zoom runs on one, WordPress on the other. It also works with just one screen, only a little more tediously (we switch between apps more often).

Time zones: You are in Austria, Germany or Switzerland? Perfect. I offer appointments on weekdays between 09:00 and 18:00 (Europe/Vienna).

Recording: On request, I record the session and provide the video as a private link for 90 days. That way you can look up what you have learned.

What you bring, what I provide

You bring:

• A laptop with a browser and webcam (no iPad — you need a full browser plus an FTP tool in an emergency)
• If available: your domain login (e.g. World4you account) and hosting access
• A rough idea of the website you want to build — a few keywords are enough
• A stable internet connection (at least 10 Mbit/s upload for decent video)

I provide:

• The Zoom or MS Teams room
• Demo hosting for participants who do not have their own hosting yet
• A workbook (PDF, approx. 30 pages) with all the steps for reference
• 30 days of follow-up support by email after the last session

If you are from the Pinzgau or the Salzburg area: I work with clients from across the entire DACH region — in the online format, the region makes no difference. For related topics, also take a look at my post on WordPress training in Salzburg or the remote version of my WordPress further training.

FAQ: dates, recordings, requirements

When are appointments available? Weekdays 09:00–18:00 (Europe/Vienna) by arrangement. Request your preferred dates and I will reply with availability within one working day.

Who is the right target group? Individuals — solo self-employed people, business owners and career changers who need to have a website live in the near future or want to administer their existing site themselves.

Are there group workshops? Not at the moment. If you would like to learn together with colleagues: write to me and we will find a solution — two consecutive 1:1 sessions are often more efficient than a group compromise.

What requirements do I need to meet? No technical ones — you should be able to use an email program and navigate a browser. If you already know HTML/CSS, that is a bonus, but not a must.

What if I get stuck after the coaching? You have 30 days of email support included. After that, you can book follow-up hours or hand the site over for maintenance if needed.

Do I issue an invoice with a VAT ID? Yes, with an Austrian VAT ID. For clients from Germany or Switzerland, the usual reverse-charge rules apply, and I take them into account on the invoice.
