Session Info

Time:

Have a portfolio, a small business, or a side project that needs a home online? Bring a laptop and open your browser — by the end of this session you’ll have a real WordPress site built with your own hands: pages, a post, a logo, a menu, all live in the room. Every attendee also gets a free year of hosting and a domain to take their site live.

What you’ll learn

  • The basic building blocks of a WordPress site (posts, pages, themes, menus)
  • Beginner-friendly accessibility and SEO habits along the way
  • Confidence to keep building on your own after today.

Who it’s for
First-time builders, students, designers, marketers, and anyone with a portfolio or small business idea who’s never touched WordPress before. Absolute beginners welcome and encouraged.

No hosting account or experience needed. You’ll walk out with a copy of your site – plus a year of complimentary hosting and domain – ready for Go-Live Office Hours to make it official.
