What You Will Learn?

  • ** For the CSS in the Advanced Customizations lesson, download the files in 'Class Project'..
  • In this class I will show you every step you need to have a fully functioning live wedding website (including rsvp's) using wordpress as a platform. I will guide you through purchasing a domain name on godaddy.com, setting up the wordpress site on the chosen domain as well as setting up and designing your site. Knowledge of coding isn't required, just follow along with my instructions and even a beginner can set up a site in a few hours. I will show some advanced design customizations at the end of the lesson that use HTML & CSS, this is 100% optional but a great way to add a personal touch to your site..
