“I am thoroughly enjoying my beginner’s WordPress course with Freshworkshops. Adria has designed a course that is no-nonsense and empowering at the same time! The course teaches you both the WordPress platform itself, and (maybe more important) the workflow required to establish a basic web presence. She seems prepared for any question / situation that techies or newbies could create during the class. Smart, focused, patient, and, well, pretty much un-flappable during a very intense two-hour session, I highly recommend!”

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.

I just wanted to add that I came across your site on a Joomla vs WordPress search a month or so ago. I have become a big fan of yours because you whether you know it or not, you are truly a rare gem in the IT business. Your wealth of knowledge, your honesty, and product agnostic approach to technology is amazing. I especially appreciate all of the content and insights you are willing to share from your experience and the enthusiasm you bring to your presentations. I have been in the IT business since 1982. My business focus has moved into the area of helping clients leverage Joomla and WordPress, so I thought you should know that your websites and content are a valuable resource to me.

“This DIY Series was info-packed and detail orientated. Spreading it out over a few weeks helped to not suffer information overload. I enjoyed hearing other people’s questions too, as they brought up questions I had not thought of at the time. 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.”

“She is “techie” to the max. She knows her stuff, but she speaks English and has a certain amount of respect for those she is speaking to. Many techies do not. They overwhelm their audience with tech lingo and do not communicate. Not Adria, she is good at making technical concepts understandable and organizing the material. Do I recommend Adria’s workshops 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. Adria does a great job of answering questions and showing what is possible.”

Before Adria’s Freshworkshops “WordPress for Busy” people, I fumbled through different WordPress features. She gave a lot of information and ideas how to use tools to maximize the application. So now, I am much clearer about how to use WordPress more efficiently and feel much better trying out more advanced features.
