I got a lot more out of this training than with most online classes I've experienced. Adria doesn't just guide you through the steps of creating a site, she tells you what the steps mean, so you feel more confident in the skills you take away from the class. She really is about empowering her students, not just setting up their sites for them.

"This DIY Series was info-packed and detail orientated. Spreading it out over a few weeks helped to not suffer information overload. While website creation using WordPress is achievable for the novice, I think it would have taken many hours and not have the customized results participating in your workshop provided. I encourage anyone wanting to create their own website to save time and frustration and take this workshop."

"Your wealth of knowledge, your honesty, and product agnostic approach to technology is amazing. I have been in the IT business since 1982. My business focus has moved into the area of helping clients leverage Joomla and WordPress. Your website content is a valuable resource to me."

"Do I recommend Freshworkshops to anyone who is wanting to learn more about technology? Absolutely! I didn't have a clue about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or CMS (Content Management Systems) but now I feel quite confident about these subjects."

"While I have worked with a few WordPress installs already, this workshop gave me the opportunity to ask questions and get instant feedback."

Bill, Meet Me Where I Am

Before Adria's Freshworkshops "Wordpress for Busy" people, I fumbled through different Wordpress features. Now I am much clearer about how to use Wordpress more efficiently and feel much better trying out more advanced features.

"The course lived up to its name in that it taught me how to install Joomla! from scratch. I installed Joomla!"
