Creating Websites with WordPress: A Bootcamp for Non-Techies

Since November 2011 over 50 students have graduated from this course, which teaches non-programmers how to quickly and easily create polished, professional-looking Web sites and blogs – without any programming required – using WordPress, the most popular, powerful Web development tool in use today.

Students receive extensive hands-on practice utilizing the skills they are taught,  and build a working, multi-page Web site for their business, their not-for-profit organization or their personal use. They style the layout and appearance of the site to their liking, and create custom content that appeals to their target audience.

The course comprises five classes that will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Class dates are: July 10th, 12th, 17th, 19th and 24th.
