Stop being afraid of your own website

A one-day live class for the people who actually publish the pages — and who file a ticket every time something looks wrong.

By five o’clock 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.

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 organisation 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.

The day, block by block

About 6 hours of training, with breaks and float

Every block ends with you having done the thing yourself, on a real WordPress — not having watched someone else do it.

01

Your questions, on the board

The day 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.

Agenda set from your prework questionShared vocabulary

02

Content 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."

Block editor + list viewPatterns you build oncePaste from Word cleanlyRevisions as your safety net

03

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.

Size before uploadReplace a file, keep the URLNaming that survives two years

04

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.

Heading orderAlt text that earns its placeColour contrastThe PDF problem

05

Know 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.

Block vs classic vs builderGlobal styles vs per-pageWhat to send your developer

06

Users, 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.

The five roles, honestlySee the site as themReassign their content

07

The 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.

Titles and descriptionsSlugs and the redirect you oweInternal linking as a habit

08

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.

Where entries liveWhy notification emails vanishWhat not to put in a web form

09

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.

Triage in three questionsWhat to capture every timeWhat not to touch while waiting

10

Your questions, answered

Every question from the morning gets worked live, on the sandbox.

Prevents: Going home with the thing you came for still unfixed.

Live Q&A on real sitesA course shortlist picked for your stack

The highlighted blocks are the two most WordPress classes skip entirely — and the two that cost organisations the most when nobody covers them.

What $595 actually buys

The live day 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 practise in

Runs in your browser. Nothing to install, and nothing that can touch your live site. It stays available to you after the day ends.

Taught by one person, not a bench

Thirteen years of one-to-one WordPress teaching. The person who wrote the material teaches the day and answers your question.

One day away from the desk

Not two. 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.

Before the day

Their day one is your pre-flight

Most two-day 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.

It ends by asking one question: what is the one thing about your site you want fixed? Those answers become the agenda for the day.

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.

Buying for other people? You’ll enter their names after checkout, and you don’t have to attend yourself. Need a PO or an invoice? We do that too.

You leave with something you can show

Issued after the class, with a permanent link anyone can check — and an entry that sits on your LinkedIn profile rather than scrolling away in a feed.

Fair questions

Is one day really enough?

One day, plus a 45-minute pre-flight and twelve months of course access. The pre-flight covers what most two-day courses spend their first morning on — logging in, finding the dashboard, publishing a page — so the live day starts where those courses finish. Depth afterwards comes from the library, which you keep for a year.

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 organisations run, so the live day 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 organisation 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.
