In fact I think I can divide my working life into two periods - BWP (before WordPress) and AWP (after WordPress). BWP meant handing control over my web presence to a third party. Every update of a site would require either sending emails to the web designer or fighting with an out of control content management system (CMS). Sound familiar?

AWP means that in minutes I can have a sophisticated CMS installed on a domain name and be adding content within minutes. It means I can change the look and feel of my sites at a whim. It means I can embed multi-media content easily. It means I can track visitors to my site and improve my search engine rankings with the installation of a plugin.

In short, for someone who is not a coder or a designer, but an entrepreneur, it is heaven. 

After pontificating about the wonders of WordPress for years to anyone who would listen, I want to share what I have learnt with you with the Minimalist WordPress in a Day workshop.

This hands-on workshop will bring you through the steps needed to build your new website from scratch with ample time for individual attention and help. Over the course of the day, you WILL build the basic structure of a site and leave with the know-how to continue building your site. This day-long workshop also includes a 30 minute follow up consultation to address any niggling issues with your new site. Oh, and there will be lunch too. Possibly cake : )

Interested?

Then check out the details of the workshop over on the 8fold site.
