FREE BEGINNER COURSE · WORDPRESS + BLOCK EDITOR

Your first WordPress website.
Built by you.

Go from a blank installation to a useful three-page website. Learn the blocks, repair mistakes and practise a launch you can recover from.

8 modules · 16 short lessons · 8 guided builds · 8 Break / Fix tasks · 8 quizzes · one final project

A real site, one useful step at a time.

Your project is Northside Bike Workshop, a fictional local business. Build Home, Services and Contact with WordPress’ own blocks. No coding experience or paid plugin is required. Allow roughly 10–14 hours; this is an initial estimate, not a deadline.

Read here, practise in your own WordPress workspace, then check your understanding. Quiz answers are checked; practical completion is your own confirmation, not an automatic audit of your site.
