About this ‘How to Run a Website’ Class
It’s not difficult to run a WordPress website once you know your way around. A lot of this stuff can seem confusing, but everything becomes clear as students work through the modules. I teach the benefits of using a separate web host and registrar and how to manage both accounts. There are also lectures dedicated to cPanel, site monitoring, and how to track visitors.
Members learn how to install WordPress with a single click. Also, how to use email accounts (domain and free) to best effect, a look at content delivery networks (CDN), and more. Course participants become adept site administrators in very little time.

I had some notions about WP but there’s a course for each thing within the menu. I’m learning a lot of useful things and I am very happy because of this. Although English is not my native language I can understand very well the content of the courses. I found all the stuff about domains and web hostings very useful as well. I’m very grateful for all of these courses. All is very clear and to the point.
