Our Website design in WordPress course has been created to give you the ability to create website design in WordPress for a business. WordPress is one of the most used and versatile website platforms currently on the internet. Originally designed as a blogging tool, it has a huge base of modders who have created over 27,000 plugins and addons that add functionality to any WordPress website. From a simple blogging platform it has expanded to fulfil any web requirement, from art galleries and catalogues, to e-commerce sites. WordPress can fulfil any of these requirements. The versatile and robust nature of WordPress is the reason for its prolific success and it holds the key to your success.
