What to expect from the course

Ask yourself this...

Do you wish you could whip up a website like so many others seem to be able to do? What if there was a way to learn to do just that?

Features & Benefits

The course will give you over 40 lessons where I walk you through creating several pages in a WordPress site with the Divi Theme and Page Builder. All layouts we use in the project are available for you to download so you can import them into your site and compare with your own results.

  • Great design provided in Figma

  • Detailed walk through videos

  • Access to all layouts created in the course

Right now you are struggling to learn everything you can about WordPress and website building by researching videos and articles in the Internet.  Your time is valuable, there’s no time to spend figuring out how to choose what theme or page builder to use. Which one is the most popular? Which one Google likes best? That research could take days or even weeks (believe me, I’ve been there).

Imagine if...

after just a few lessons you could have your About page all ready by just following along the lesson plan inside “Create with WordPress and the Divi Theme".

WordPress Professional and Educator

Sol Barrera Watters

Once upon a time and after 8 years and 2 college degrees - one in electronics and one in informatics - I realized that now I had to teach myself how to do my dream job in web development.

At that point I had already taught myself how to build websites so this new obstacle was of no concern to me.

Fast forward today, I still love learning, I love homework and I LOVE WordPress. It's only natural that I want to teach others how to use it and create beautiful things with it.

Please join me in this wonderful adventure of learning how to build websites with WordPress and Divi!
