Just getting started with WordPress? Have questions about setting up your first website? Getting stuck on the basics? You’re in the right place, so join us on Friday, May 3, from 9am to 4pm.
The great news is that no matter where you are on your journey, after you take this first step, you will be a ninja to someone else. Here is where you begin to really learn, and let your ninja-ness shine.
There’s just one requirement: Bring your laptop! (plus your Username and Password if you already have a WordPress site set up)
The WordPress Beginners Friday Workshop will be divided into 2 parts. In the morning, we’ll go through the basic components of websites and how to make smart choices around them. A few of the things we’ll discuss are:
- What is a domain name and where to buy them
- What is a hosting account and why you might need one
- What are themes and plugins
- How to navigate the dashboard
- What’s a widget
- How to keep your site updated
The afternoon session will be broken into 3 mini-sessions.
- A deeper dive into the intro topics, with a Q and A to address your specific issues
- Themes and page builders
- Basic site issues you need to know about
A team of WordPress specialists will be on hand to guide you throughout the day. More experienced beginners will be seated with those just getting started, so we can all help each other.
You will come away from this session not only with answers and knowledge but also with the framework and confidence to attack the next level of challenges.
This looks great! What is the cost and where do we go to sign up?

What if I can only do the Friday workshop for beginners? I did not see where you should sign up for that only. Do you just show up or is there somewhere to register. Is it free? Are you able to just do the Friday workshop?
You will need to purchase a 3-Day ticket if you want to attend the Friday workshop for beginners. WordCamp Atlanta does not have single day tickets.
