And I can access the training… for free?

Yep!  Access to our full range of eLearning courses, a combination of videos, slides and multi-choice questions are yours when you sign up.

We are already have the Introduction to WordPress, WooCommerce and Yoast SEO courses but we have 2 more courses lined up for the end of this year as well.  Got any ideas for new courses going forward, let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

But I want my site to look different, is this possible?

We have a wide range of premium Themes to choose from and customise, in fact we offer over 200 themes (styles for you to change the look of your site) for you to choose from.  It may be free but that doesn’t mean it can’t look great.

Yeah, but I want to run a shop, event or something super fancy, can I?

Plugins extend the features of your website and we have a lot!   Add fancy sliding images or create a newsletter signup form with ease.  We have access to some great plugins which are the industry recognised leaders in WordPress.

Whether you want to set up a shop, host an event, have forms signed online, create a membership site or just talk about something you love, we have the tools to enable you to do it all.

Mmm… Can I have myfancydomain.co.uk?

GWD Domain – www.yoursitename.gwdtraining.com

As standard you get a website address as above, it will end in .gwdtraining.com.  

If you’d prefer something a little more representative of what you do, we can set up your own domain name on your site, but you’ll need to purchase it yourself.

Help, i’m stuck! Where to go?

The road to website nirvana is never smooth, so as well as our eLearning courses for you to follow you’ll also get access to the members only Q&A forum to help you troubleshoot any issues you may have.
