Course Description
Build beautiful and dynamic websites without the need for coding. Our simple tutorials and videos will guide you though the whole process and when you graduate you will have a fully functional website for you or your business.
It’s been a long dream for PODTech to create a WordPress course and make web building accessible for everyone. For this course we use the basic free version of Elementor with its simple drag and drop features combined with our much loved theme, OceanWP.
Together we will build a mockup scuba diving website and finally build your very own website using 2 key principles:
- Web Design – taking shapes, images, font type and colour and making something visually interesting
- User Experience – how to take ideas and make your designs work in a web browser
Along our journey together we will cover:
- Basic web design
- Fundamentals to graphic design
- Web building skills like wire framing
- Branding, typography and colour
- Free themes and plugins to build your website
- Firewalls and website security
- Website load times and optimisation
- Optimising and using appropriate image sizes
- Contact forms and syncing with Mailchimp
- How to use Elementor like a pro
- How to troubleshoot and fix minor conflicts
Our goal here is to teach you to build your very own website and maintain it into the future without having to pay thousands to hire a developer.
Who is this course for?

Taking the Step from Wix to WordPress
This course is ideal for those wanting to take their website to the next level. If you are thinking of transitioning from clunky web building tools like Wix, Squarespace or Shopify to a professional, industry standard like WordPress. This course will support you achieving your goals.
