Why you should learn WordPress
If your website designed on the WordPress platform, you should definitely learn WordPress!
If someone designed your website a while back, is that person still maintaining it? If nobody is updating and maintaining your site, consider learning WordPress yourself.
It may sound like taking care of simple updates to your own website is just setting the stage for tons more work to be piled on. But it’s really not! WP is a pretty straightforward platform and doesn’t take too long to learn. It is worth learning.
WHY SHOULD I LEARN WORDPRESS WHEN I CAN JUST HIRE SOMEONE TO MAKE UPDATES?
So true, and we completely understand this line of thought. However, when it comes to small businesses, sometimes updates just can’t wait for someone else to get to it. Emergency closures, last-minute events, flash sales – all things that need to be on the website right away.
IS WORDPRESS DIFFICULT TO LEARN?
Absolutely not! Especially if you just want enough training to make quick and simple adjustments, it’s easy and takes minimal time to learn. A personalized training class, going through your website, real time takes about an hour.
We fully believe everyone should have enough knowledge and training to at least simple things on their websites. Taking the time to learn about your site and how it works will benefit you immensely in the long run.
What are the benefits?
First, and maybe most important, is the cost savings that come with performing simple website updates in-house. Especially for small businesses, cutting costs is just awesome!
Second, the ability to quickly update simple pieces of the site to reflect anything happening or changing in the now. Sometimes things are happening right now, and need to be reflected on the site immediately.
Finally, security. Both WP core and plugins are updated all the time. If someone isn’t checking the site and paying attention, you could miss an important update. This could leave your website vulnerable until the update is handled.
I want to learn to run my own WP site!
That’s awesome, and we can help!
We will create customized training materials just for you and run a virtual class to explain your site to you and your people.
