Course Overview
In this course students use the WordPress dashboard to install and customize existing WordPress themes, add and activate plug-ins, and modify widgets to quickly and efficiently develop template driven websites. Students will convert HTML websites into WordPress templates and integrate WordPress with custom websites as a Content Management System. Students will install WordPress on a local host and migrate content between local and hosted servers; and look behind the scenes of a functioning website to examine concepts such as cPanel, database creation, and phpMyAdmin to set up and manage their own hosted WordPress website. The course will be delivered through a series of video notes.
