I thought it was worth the time, however, I did find it a bit slow because some parts were self explanatory but overall really liked it.
Bel is thoroughly knowledgable and has been an wonderful source of information. She explains things so well and in a manner that is understandable. I was rather concerned I would be overwhelmed but Bel has given me so much more confidence and made it a lot less intimidating. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone and I look forward to seeing her in the advanced WordPress course!
The course was very detailed and engaging. i now feel as though i have the knowledge of how wordpress works and to get get a websie up and running. The training was a mix between theory and practical which i enjoyed. Belinda is great !
I enjoyed this course. Belinda explained everything very well. I will definitely be able to take these new tips with me in helping my company with our website. I enjoyed learning about the CSS and coding part. There is a lot to it and I know it is explained in the advanced class so it may be something I will look to do in the future.
