Course Overview
Are you a “non-techie” looking to create a polished, professional-looking Website or blog for your small business, your non-profit organization, or your personal use?
This course will teach you how to do this, quickly and easily – without any programming required – using WordPress, the most popular, powerful and free Web development tool in use today.
This is very much a hands-on course. Beginning with the first class you will start building your skills as you build a working, multi-page Website that will help bring new customers to your business, get out the message for your non-profit organization, broadcast your news and views on a blog page, showcase the snapshots from your point-and-shoot camera…wherever your imagination takes you!

Prerequisite Skills: Prospective students need to have good fundamental computer skills and be comfortable using the Windows operating system to perform basic tasks such as: access programs and files, send/receive e-mail, browse/search the Internet. Because using WordPress does not entail software programming, students do not need to have any prior computer programming experience!
Equipment Requirements: None. Students will use workstations in the Adult Learning Center and Amherst Middle School computer labs to create their Websites. Students who own computers with access to the Internet will also be able to work on their Websites outside of class.
