We presume no knowledge at all and walk you through everything.
You will need a hosting account to install WordPress onto and we recommend SiteGround.
You will be able to create and edit your own websites using WordPress saving your time and money.
You will also be able to configure features such as email and security.
This is a non-technical course so you will have no coding skills upon completion.
You will be able to install WordPress and upload site designs but you may find that any customization will require some coding skills.
This is 100% free. You do need to join the website to get access but there will be no charge or payment details required.
We can't really help you install WordPress on your own hosting account. Your host may help you or you will find a reasonably priced developer on Upwork.
