About this course

Learn to build a complete, professional self-hosted WordPress.org website without writing code, using the Gutenberg block editor alongside a page builder such as Elementor or Divi. You will install and configure hosting, choose and customize a theme, add must-have plugins for SEO, security, caching, and backups, then create pages, blog posts, and menus that visitors and Google understand. By the end you can stand up a basic WooCommerce store, harden and back up the site, and publish it on a custom domain with HTTPS.
