Create with WordPress & the Divi Theme
A beginner’s course on how to build your first website using WordPress and the Divi Theme and Page Builder
What if you didn’t have to watch hundreds of videos on YouTube in order to build your first WordPress site?
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?
That’s exactly why I created “Create with WordPress and the Divi Theme”
Build three different pages in under 4 hours with WordPress and the Divi Theme. Each section has exercises so you can practice and recall more easily what you have learned.

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).
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!
