Your questions, on the board
The class opens with the problems you brought, mapped to when we'll fix them.
Prevents: Sitting through material that has nothing to do with your site.
Two live afternoons · Ten seats · Online
Stop being afraid of your own website
A live class across two afternoons for the people who actually publish the pages — and who file a ticket every time something looks wrong.
By five o’clock on day two you’ll have built a page that behaves, fixed one that doesn’t, and learned exactly which problems are yours to solve and which belong to whoever built the site. Your mornings stay yours.

More of what people said →Grant’s guidance helped us to effectively engage new techniques. He was knowledgeable, patient, approachable, and efficient.
This is for you if…
- You publish and maintain pages, but somebody else owns the hosting.
- You were handed a site nobody ever trained you on.
- You copy an old page because you're not confident building a new one.
- Something breaks and you can't tell whether it was you or the site.
- Your organization has accessibility obligations and nobody has explained yours.
And honestly not, if…
You want to write code, build themes or run servers. We don’t teach programming, theme development, hosting administration or migrations — and we’d rather say so now than take your money.
If that’s what you need, get in touch anyway and we’ll point you somewhere useful.
How the class unfolds
Five stages, two of them live. The pre-flight happens whenever suits you, the homework takes fifteen minutes, and the certificate arrives after day two.
- Before class
Pre-flight
45 minutes in your browser, whenever suits you — so the class starts where most courses finish.
- Afternoon one
Training day 1
12–5pm ET, live. Build pages, tame media, and publish content that meets your accessibility obligations.
- Overnight
Homework
One 15-minute assignment — done on your own practice site between the afternoons. Day 2 opens by reviewing what everyone built.
- Afternoon two
Training day 2
12–5pm ET, live. Users and roles, SEO, forms, escalation — then every open question worked on the sandbox.
- After class
Certificate of completion
Issued with a permanent public verification link, ready for your LinkedIn profile.
The two days, block by block
Every block ends with you having done the thing yourself, on a real WordPress — not having watched someone else do it.
Day 1
Afternoon one · build the pagesContent that doesn't fight you
Build and edit a page confidently — and undo any mistake without calling anyone.
Prevents: "I changed something and now the page looks wrong."
Media that doesn't bloat the site
Add images that load fast, and swap one everywhere it appears without hunting.
Prevents: The slow-site complaint that gets blamed on hosting.
Accessibility you're on the hook for
Publish content that meets WCAG 2.1 AA at the content layer — and know what to escalate.
Prevents: The remediation project that lands eighteen months later.
MOST SKIPPEDKnow your theme and its edges
Identify what you're working inside, what's safe to change, and what a developer will overwrite.
Prevents: The afternoon lost hunting a setting that lives somewhere else entirely.
Overnight: one 15-minute assignment
Done on your own practice site between the afternoons. Day 2 opens by reviewing what everyone built.
Day 2
Afternoon two · run the siteUsers, roles and offboarding
Grant exactly the access someone needs, verify it, and remove it cleanly when they leave.
Prevents: The site where fourteen people are Administrators.
MOST SKIPPEDThe SEO that's actually your job
Do the part a content editor controls, and stop worrying about the rest.
Prevents: Hours lost chasing a plugin's traffic light.
Finding your form submissions
Locate entries in whatever form plugin you have, and know what never to collect.
Prevents: A fortnight of submissions nobody knew were arriving.
When something's wrong
Become the person whose tickets get resolved on the first reply.
Prevents: The well-meant plugin deactivation that turns a small problem into an outage.
Your questions, answered
Every question still on the board gets worked live, on the sandbox.
Prevents: Going home with the thing you came for still unfixed.
The highlighted blocks are the two most WordPress classes skip entirely — and the two that cost organizations the most when nobody covers them.
$595per seat
What $595 actually buys
The live class is the start of it, not the whole of it.
12 months of the course library
Nearly a hundred WordPress courses — including the full course for whichever theme or builder you actually run. Yours for a year after the class.
A real WordPress to practice in
Runs in your browser. Nothing to install, and nothing that can touch your live site. It stays available to you after the class ends.
Taught by one person, not a bench
Thirteen years of one-to-one WordPress teaching. The person who wrote the material teaches both afternoons and answers your question.
Never a full day off the desk
Two afternoons, noon to five Eastern. Your mornings stay yours — and for a salaried attendee that difference is usually worth more than the fee itself.
The recording, and a free retake
Sit the class again on any later date within twelve months, at no charge — because nobody absorbs everything the first time.
A verifiable certificate
Certificate of completion with a permanent public verification link. Not a certification — and it says so plainly.
What people said afterwards
The class is new. The teaching behind it isn’t — this is from teams I trained on site, doing the same job for the same kind of organization.
“I had the pleasure of meeting [Grant] at the Library of Congress when he provided training on using WordPress for me and my team. Members of a publishing office, we were transitioning our processes from paper to electronic and Grant's guidance helped us to effectively engage new techniques. He was knowledgeable, patient, approachable, and efficient.”
“I found this training to be very thorough. Grant was knowledgeable especially when our team was asking him a lot of questions. He understood [our] specific use case and made that clear during the training session. It was clear that he put time into preparing for the training. He was great at troubleshooting and had a great positive attitude!”
“Great troubleshooting. Hands-on teaching. Clear explanations. Grant is [a] friendly and approachable teacher!”
“I liked that the session was tailored to specific questions we had about WordPress and our particular site.”
“Grant was very informative, he knew something about everything we brought up.”

Before the class
Their day one is your pre-flight
Most courses spend their first morning on logging in and finding the dashboard. You’ll have done that already — 45 minutes, in your browser, whenever suits you — which is how two afternoons here cover more than two full days elsewhere.
It ends by asking one question: what is the one thing about your site you want fixed? Those answers become the agenda for the class.

Live, from wherever you work
No travel, no hotel, no day lost either side of it. You join from your own desk with your own coffee, and you can have your real site open in the next tab.
Ten people means you can actually ask something. When a question needs the answer shown rather than described, we show it — on a live WordPress, in front of you.
Upcoming dates
Saturdays and weekdays, so a whole team can come without leaving the desk uncovered. Ten seats each.

The whole thing, in five pages
Who the class is for, what the two afternoons cover block by block, how the pre-flight works, and what happens in the twelve months afterwards. Written to be forwarded to whoever signs off the spend.
One email with the PDF. No mailing list, no drip sequence, no follow-up unless you reply.
Fair questions
Why two afternoons instead of one long day?
Because retention beats endurance. Noon to five Eastern, twice, means your mornings stay yours — no coverage to arrange, no full day out of the office — and what you learn on day one gets a night to settle before day two builds on it. Between the afternoons there's one 15-minute assignment on your practice site, and day two opens by reviewing what everyone built. The 45-minute pre-flight still comes first, covering what most courses spend their first morning on, so the class starts where they finish.
Do I need to be technical?
No. This is built for content editors and contributors: people who publish and maintain pages, manage media and add users, but who don't own hosting and don't deploy code. Programming, theme development and hosting administration are explicitly out of scope.
We run a custom theme an agency built. Will this apply to us?
Yes, and that shaped the design. In an open class we can't know what ten different organizations run, so the live class teaches what is universal — how to identify what you have, and where your boundaries are — while the library carries the specifics for your exact theme or builder. If you want your own stack taught directly, that's a private session.
What if I can't make the date?
Send a colleague instead, free, right up until the class starts. Or move to a later date — full refund up to seven days before, and inside that we'll roll you to another date rather than keep your money.
Can our organization pay by purchase order?
Yes. We invoice on our letterhead with net-30 terms and can work from your PO, and your seats are held from the moment the invoice is issued so nobody has to wait on accounts payable.
Is the certificate a certification?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. It is a certificate of completion with a permanent public verification link. There is no accrediting body behind it and it carries no continuing-education credit.
