The New Way To Design Your Website With WordPress 2024 is a hands-on guide to teach you skills that will save you big designer/developer fees. WordPress is the world's most popular way to build websites. I will also introduce you to an amazing and popular web design tool called Elementor that will make creating your own website a breeze.

What exactly will you learn?

• A content-rich Home page
• An About page with text and images
• A Contact page so people can reach you
• A Products page that displays your business offerings, both in text and supporting images
• A blog page (optional) - if you want one for your website

With this knowledge, you can build for yourself (with confidence ) any number of extra pages you want. Like a Testimonials page, a page for each of your services or products, a Team page, a Projects or Portfolio page to showcase your work, etc.

What should you already know?

No prior technical knowledge is needed. There are many moving parts to building a site, though each one is easy in itself. WordPress was created for non-coders. It's drag-and-drop all the way Elementor was created for non-designers. So, don't worry if you are not a web designer. You will need a desktop or laptop, though. PC or Mac is fine. You can't do this stuff on a phone.
