Course Description:

WordPress is not only a powerful blogging platform, it’s also a content management system (CMS). If you already know how to code webpages, you can use WordPress as a CMS so website updates are easier and your clients (non-coders) can edit the content themselves! To control the look of the site you create themes, which is the focus of this class. You can also add lots of functionality through the built-in features of WordPress and its many plugins. In this class you will learn how to install WordPress, modify existing themes (using child themes), and develop your own custom themes.

This course is designed for people who are already familiar with HTML and CSS. Knowledge of PHP is a plus, but is not required to take this class.

Course Description:

WordPress enables you to create and maintain a website, even if you have no web design background. Whether you want to create a new website or blog, or manage an existing WordPress website, this class is for you. This course is geared for anyone, so you do not need prior experience with computer graphics or coding.
