I love making websites! So creative, colors, fonts, images and brain candy challenge of figuring out how to do x, y and z. I also love teaching other people how to update the websites we create; how to use them in innovative ways to help their business or passion thrive. Although I've been making websites for more than a dozen years, I've only been doing WordPress for the last two. And the more I use WordPress, the more I show others how to use it, the more impressed I am by the content management system's ease And flexibility.
Using http://www.w3schools.com/ for the rare coding needed, my students and I are sailing along setting up WordPress websites with Open Source software (FREE),
- WordPress ofcourse is open source and has a vibrant growing community
- Filezilla is a useful ftp program when you Have to get something from your computer to your host server
- Notepad++ is a sweet little code editor - love the colors
- http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/ is an online image editor that has layers and can do everything from headers to downsizing images
- there are more...
I decided to create a new product, WEBSITE IN A DAY, which includes not only making the website but WordPress education and three months of followup tutoring.
