Wordpress - from installation to management

The workshops are aimed at people who want to quickly and effectively learn how to create websites without writing code. Participants will learn the logic of how WordPress works, how to configure themes and plugins, manage content, and maintain the site's currency and security. We work on practical examples so that everyone can build their own site from scratch. This approach gives participants the skills needed to create simple sites for themselves as well as to develop sites for clients, companies, or organizations in a professional and easy-to-maintain way.

Who this
training is for

This workshop works best for participants who want to turn knowledge into practical project decisions and code written in realistic conditions.

This training is for you if

  • you want to organize your knowledge and see how to apply it in day-to-day work
  • you work on applications or tools that need to stay readable, maintainable, and testable
  • you value practical exercises, trade-off discussions, and examples close to real projects

This is not the best choice if

  • you are looking only for a theoretical lecture without workshop practice
  • you need a very basic introduction to programming from scratch
  • you expect ready-made recipes without discussing context, constraints, and consequences
