About this course
What if you could learn to make a blog, portfolio, or business website over the weekend? Without prior experience and without writing code.
Now you can.
Learn by making 3 different websites
You'll learn how to get your website live on the internet (registering a domain name, hosting, etc.), how to use WordPress [dot] org, and other web tips like making a logo and SEO basics.
Then we'll actually build 3 different websites together, step by step, from start to finish. We'll make a blog, a business site, and an online resume/portfolio. Each website is completely responsive, so it will look good on any screen, tablet, or smartphone.
