What this Workshop will not cover?

This is not a website creation course, you will not learn how to create websites for other people, although it will give you good hands-on experience in WordPress.org.
We can’t guarantee that your completed website will be found in Google search, this will take time, effort and content. We will however, teach you ways to improve your chances of being found for your keywords in search engines.
This workshop will not help you create a complex website – website development is a career that takes a long time to learn and master – however the website you create from this workshop will look and feel professional, just without a lot of bells and whistles.
This workshop is a limited time event, if you don’t complete the website within the time, then we can provide additional assistance at an hourly rate.
If you’re looking for a basic ecommerce website, if we get time, we may be able to cover that, but this will depend on other students and time available.
