I am going to help with my company website and it’s on WordPress currently. They were discussing moving it to Squarespace to make it easier to use on our end. I want to look at learning how to use WordPress before we move the site. If I can figure it out we won’t need to move it, and I think from what I have read, WordPress is superior to Squarespace.
​
Any tutorials or courses recommended for starting out? We have the site built and it looks good, just want to be able to edit things on it, copy, images, etc. Any advice is appreciated!
I’m sure there are great courses you can buy, but seriously I think there are great YouTube videos you can watch for free with really great training. One of those full tutorials will be great. I haven’t really looked into the books on Amazon, but many books are great too, although for me they are a littler dryer and hard to follow but often have the best training. Just my 2 cents. Best wishes
