Before you Join

Is your website set up?

To take action in this course, you will need to have your website domain and hosting already set up.

This course is ideal for building a website with WordPress.org and not WordPress.com (although many of the features do overlap) and requires you to have your domain and hosting already set up with WordPress installed and ready to go.

WordPress.org requires you to set up your website domain and hosting yourself, whereas WordPress.com hosts your website for you.

If you decide to take this course, but use WordPress.com, you may find some of the features in this course differ for you and you may not have access to certain features - but this will depend on your WordPress.com plan. Other features may be relevant to both platforms.

Not set up with a domain and hosting but still want to learn? No problem! You have lifetime access to this course and can return to it as many times as you like.
