WordPress enables anyone to create stunning websites without having to learn to code. In this course, you'll learn every step of the process from registering a domain, hosting and installing WordPress to crafting your beautiful masterpiece.

There are at least three levels to WordPress mastery, in order of complexity:

  • Authoring
  • Site Administration
  • Technical (Coding, Hosting, Server Administration)

We’ll begin with authoring, even if your goal is to learn the other two levels. Authoring is easy enough that it builds confidence quickly. Also, this article will not cover the technical level for reasons of length. Links to learn more about all three levels are at the bottom of this page. And WordPress is easy enough to tinker with to learn how to accomplish tasks, including many of the more complicated technical tasks.
