Hi all,
I recently got into WordPress, trying to design my own website. The course I follow, explains how to build a site in 10min.
This shows you how to make a site, but it doesn’t teach you anything.
I would like to build sites for friends as well, for their business ventures, but I hardly have the foundation knowledge.
Where can I find proper, in-depth, WordPress courses?
​
Thanks

WordPress ecosystem is vast and ever-changing, so it’s hard to find one course to cover everything and that’s up to date.
If you search the web for the term ‘WordPress tutorials’ (Google it…) you will find many websites that provide written or video tutorials.
I would also encourage you to browse YouTube for tutorials – there are many channels dedicated to just that.
In short – there are two paths when it comes to building WordPress websites for others:
1. Combine off-the-shelf solutions (theme + plugins), without any hand coded customizations. For that to work, you would need to be a good marketer in order to penetrate such a saturated market. Design skills would also help, to convince your potential clients visually.
2. Learn to code, at least the basics of WordPress theme & plugin creation/extension, to start with. That doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be using any off-the-shelf solutions, especially for advanced features. With some coding skills you would also be able to apply to agencies for projects or employment.
