About Scott S.
I am a Website Designer and WordPress Trainer. I have been building websites for over 16 years with 6 of them training individuals and businesses on how to create their own website.
I have a way of teaching technical subjects in layman's terms. Together we will examine WordPress from install to publishing the site. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to learn WordPress!
We start with a blank page and build a site from scratch. I don't teach plug-ins or themes other than the ones we use in class.
Here area few subjects we cover in the lessons.
