What learners say
“I had built several WordPress websites before, but I depended heavily on page builders and existing plugins. The course helped me understand custom templates, dynamic content and how to make changes without breaking the website.”
“The plugin development module changed how I approach client requests. I can now use AI to develop custom functionality, but I also know how to inspect, test and secure the code before using it.”
“I joined because I wanted to move beyond standard business websites. By the end, I had built a directory with custom post types and fields, and connected its content through the WordPress REST API.”
“The WooCommerce sessions were very useful. We covered the entire customer journey, not just adding products. I learned how to customise the shop, checkout and payment experience for a real business.”
