Workshops

WordPress has gained worldwide support as a blogging tool, but new features will position it more as a CMS (content management tool) making it an ideal choice for businesses and organisations to build their websites on.

Despite having 20 million users and offerings great flexibility, users can still benefit from training depending on their involvement in the management of their website content.

If  you would like to see WordPress classes in your area, please let us know where you. We have already had interest in Edinburgh, Ullapool, Elgin and Inverness, and are hoping to tour with our workshops to take them to a greater audience.
