WordPress Training Poole & Surrounding Areas

£30 per hour (1.5 hours minimum)

If you have a website that has been built with the popular WordPress content management system, I can teach you to update it.

I offer WordPress training in Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding areas at your business, or home.

I can also teach you via 2-way video, using Skype, Zoom or FaceTime if you are not local. Please note that for this to work you would need two screens – one to use for video and the other to access your WordPress site.

Email Set-Up

We can help you to set up email, including you@yourname.co.uk* mail. There are two ways of doing this:-

  1. We’ll provide you with written instructions on setting up email for different types of device (e.g. desktop computer, iPad, phone), enabling you to set up your own email.
    The cost for this is £30.
  2. We can put you in touch with someone trustworthy who will set up your email for you. This is either remotely or in person if you’re local. You would then liaise directly with them.

* If you don’t have a domain name then we can register one for you at very competitive rates. Please see our domain name information.
