WordPress Training Course

The internet is a large place. A vast landscape full of weird and wonderful content. From stores, to blogs and forums, there is always one recurring theme across many of them. Typically, they are well structured, organised and easy to navigate. Ever wonder why this is the case? Well, it's because most of them, 1 in 4 in fact, use a service called WordPress. According to WebsiteBuilder, over 455 million websites use WordPress, of which there are 24.8 million live WordPress sites. With the correct knowledge and understanding of WordPress, you too will be able to unlock the potential of your business. This is why Shape the Market offers a WordPress Training Course in London to provide you with the expertise to create, manage and optimise a WordPress website.

So what actually is WordPress and what does it do? Well, it’s a dynamic tool and takes pretty much any commercial shape you can think of. From eCommerce stores to a forum or social network, WordPress ticks all boxes. It’s unsurprising that more than 1 in 4 websites are likely powered by it. Even the Whitehouse and the Rolling Stone website are powered by it! So what does all this mean for you, a prospective WordPress user? It means that it is able to match any commercial demand required of it. It’s a very malleable tool. Mastering it is not an easy venture however. Shape the Market offers an accessible introduction, account setup and admin walkthrough. With the correct training, such as that from Shape the Market, you will gain a comprehensive and working knowledge of WordPress from our WordPress Training in London. After all, knowing how a service works is just as important as having the service itself.

It feels very complex and as if you require a pre-existing knowledge of WordPress in order to fully understand and engage with it. There’s a lot of jargon that is out of my depth! It all feels a bit daunting. However, it is likely that in your digital experiences you would have come across a WordPress site. This means you can connect your personal experience with the training. What about the most confusing and complex areas, like my site's security and plugins? According to WebsiteBuilder, there are 58,250 available plugins and 39% of sites run an outdated version of the software. This means that, without the proper understanding, you can become lost and ultimately vulnerable to attack. However, Shape the Market provides for all, irrespective of current knowledge. In our WordPress Training London course, we give you the tools and knowledge to understand plugins, website search engine optimisation (SEO) and crucially, how to keep your website secure with cyber security.

WordPress feels like it’s uses are exclusive to business, corporations and those with a large team behind them. What is the appeal to an individual, who otherwise has no use for it? Well, WordPress has benefits outside of the realm of business. Having a comprehensive view in the workings of WordPress is economically beneficial to your career. The average pay for WordPress developers is $53,000. What does this mean for you if you're not looking to become a developer? Well, it’s a sought after skill for employers. Having this skill will open you up to new and exciting opportunities and is becoming a new landmark skill on your CV. This is why at Shape the Market, we teach you how to add pages, posts and videos. After all, having the ability to have a creative outlook over your digital presence, is as important as the presence itself.

Ultimately, having a successful online presence consists of a whole host of elements. Being aware of the function of WordPress and the mechanisms behind it is important for both your future career and business. Surely being the master of your own fate, as opposed to having it dictated to you by developers or designers, is a positive outlook to have for your future? WordPress puts the power back in your hands. It enables you to turn your physical ambition into a digital masterpiece. Crucially, it’s why at Shape the Market we place a great amount of weight on training for the usage of WordPress. Of course, without the appropriate training and guidance, you will simply be digitally lost. Together, we can take your digital approach forward.
