So, we’ve helped you build a website. The content reflects your marketing plan, calls to action, organizational structure and more. Now what?

Well, it’s time for you to take over your shiny new site and make it work for you. And that means you’re going to need to learn how to use the WordPress CMS (Content Management System. A great place to start is with the WordPress Lessons documentation which can be found here:

Another great way to get comfortable with your WordPress site is to watch a tutorial video. This way you will be able to see somebody actually walk through the WordPress dashboard and follow along. There’s a great WordPress tutorial video series here:

Another excellent resource is lynda.com. this site offers a wealth of information and tutorials on all things technical including excellent tutorials on WordPress. There’s a fee for the service and we’ve found it to be good value for money.

Finally, book a training session with us. With most projects we offer a one or two hour training session. It can be a great way to answer any lingering questions you may have after reviewing the resources above.

Happy WordPressing!
