Our private WordPress training comes in three packages as follows. Book online and we will arrange a convenient day and time for your training. Our friendly and professional service is focused on business owners who need training to maintain their WordPress website;
If you have a WordPress site and still get nervous every time you log in, don’t worry, I feel your pain. Lots of the Watford local professional community tell us they’re concerned about “breaking something, clicking on the wrong button or having to go back to a developer for every small upgrade. That is in fact how targeted WordPress Training comes into play.
Here at The Web Design Co we offer down-to-earth and friendly private WordPress training for you to take control of your site without the techy talk. In this post we’re going to explain our one to one WordPress help, what it is, who it is for, how it works and why 1‑2‑1 support is often the fastest way to get back in control of your website.
WordPress runs a huge share of the websites you see every day, including most of the small businesses across Hertfordshire. It’s flexible, it’s extensible, and it’s brilliant for building sites for local service businesses. That same flexibility is exactly why people get stuck. You start trying to learn from random YouTube videos and forum posts, and within twenty minutes you’re lost in the weeds with no idea whether the thing you just clicked was safe to touch.
Proper WordPress training skips all of that. You learn on your own website, at your own pace, with someone who has been building these sites for a living for years. Here’s what that looks like and why it saves you far more time than teaching yourself.
After years of building and maintaining WordPress sites for local clients, we see the same handful of obstacles time after time. People don’t know what’s safe to edit. They can’t find where things actually live. They get overwhelmed by words like themes, plugins and widgets, and freeze up rather than risk breaking something.
Our one to one WordPress support is built around solving those real problems on your actual website. Not a demo. Not a generic walkthrough. Your site, your setup, your specific stumbling blocks.
When you learn through step by step WordPress training with someone who builds sites every day, you skip the whole trial and error slog. You get answers that apply to your own setup, not advice based on a different theme or a different editor that leaves you more confused than when you started.
That saves you hours of guesswork. More importantly, it means you’re working in ways that are safe and current, so you’re not quietly building up problems you’ll have to pay someone to unpick later.
Every trade and every website is a little different, so our WordPress tuition is built around you. Before we start, we ask what you actually want to get out of the session. Then we put together a simple agenda so we spend the time solving real problems rather than wading through theory you’ll never use.
A typical session covers the essentials. How to log in safely. How to find your way around the dashboard. Creating and editing pages, adding posts, uploading and resizing images, and sorting out your menus. We also cover the housekeeping that keeps you out of trouble, like updating your plugins and why backups matter, so you can run your site with far less chance of something going wrong.
If your website is built with a visual builder or a page template, we show you how to change text, images and layouts while keeping the design intact. That might mean swapping out a hero image, refreshing a services section, or adding a fresh set of testimonials. This kind of hands on WordPress help means you can keep your site looking sharp without ringing a developer every time you want a small change.
A good looking site means very little if nobody finds it. In your private WordPress training, we can walk through how to write blog posts that give Google something to work with, including the basics of on page WordPress SEO like headings, meta titles and internal links.
We keep it practical and tied to your real pages, so once you’ve done it with us, you can repeat the same process on your own without a second thought.
We deliver one to one WordPress tuition in person around Watford and the local area, and live online for clients who’d rather learn from their own desk. Either way, you’re dealing directly with an experienced WordPress web designer, not a script and a call centre.
A standard session runs roughly 60 to 90 minutes. We start by logging into your site together, then move through the areas you want to understand. You’ll be the one clicking most of the time while we guide and explain as you go, because that’s how it actually sticks. Plenty of clients take a short run of sessions and pick up their homework in small, manageable pieces.
Rather than training on a throwaway demo, we work on your real WordPress site wherever we can. That way everything you learn transfers straight to your working day. If you’d prefer, we can spin up a staging copy first, so you can practise freely without any risk to the live site.
We know you’re busy running a business, so we offer WordPress training during the day and some evenings. Sessions can be a single sitting if you just need help with one specific task, or part of a short plan if you want to build broader confidence. We work it out together, so you always know what to expect.
Our one to one WordPress help is for people who want to own their site without becoming a full time developer. If any of the situations below sound like you, focused training is likely a good fit.
If you run a trade business, a clinic, an agency or a creative studio in and around Watford, your website is usually the first thing a potential customer sees. Updating your prices, services, photos and testimonials should be quick and painless, because that’s what brings the enquiries in. With our WordPress training, you get the confidence to make those changes yourself instead of waiting on someone outside your business.
In a lot of small businesses, several people chip in with blog posts, resources or news updates. When that’s the case, we can run the private WordPress training as a group, so everyone learns the same way and stops repeating the same avoidable mistakes. Fewer messes to clean up later, and a more consistent website all round.
If you’ve recently moved from Wix or another website builder over to WordPress, the interface can feel disorientating at first. We help clients through that switch regularly, making sure you understand what’s changed, what you can now do that you couldn’t before, and how to carry the good habits from your old system into your new WordPress site.
The Web Design Co. is based near Watford and works with businesses across Hertfordshire and North London. Knowing the local market means we understand how your customers search, what they ask, and how your website needs to perform to stay ahead of the businesses down the road.
Because we also design, build and maintain WordPress websites for businesses in Watford, Rickmansworth and the surrounding towns, we can show you real examples during your training. We’ll point out what a strong local service page looks like, how to make your contact details crystal clear, and how to keep your content relevant to the people actually searching in your area.
We’re not trying to become the next big national training brand. We’d far rather build ongoing relationships with a smaller group of clients. Plenty of people start with a small block of private WordPress training and come back for a refresher whenever they need one. Because we already know your business and your website, each session feels like picking up where we left off rather than starting from scratch.
If you’d like to feel properly in control of your own WordPress site, get in touch and tell us what you’re stuck on. We’ll put together a session around your website and your goals, so you leave able to do it yourself. You can book your WordPress training here and we’ll take it from there.
Pricing depends on the length of the session as well as whether we are working with one body or a small group. Most clients begin with a 60 or 90 minute slot and that’s typically sufficient to deal with a specific list of issues (while also leaving space for peripheral ones). We agree the fee in advance so there are no surprises.
You don’t need to be technical to get 1‑2‑1 WordPress help. If you know how to use email and things like basic office software, you already have enough experience. We break things down in English (not confusing technical details) and try to avoid jargon as much as possible, all the while still teaching you proper, safe ways of working.
Yes. Most of our wordpress tutoring is done via Zoom, or alternative software which is great for you if do not want to leave your home or place of work. We share screens, take a walk through your site together and give you real time step by step instructions.
It varies, but most people finish their initial session able to edit pages, add blog posts, update images and understand the basics of how to keep things up to date. You will also know where to stay away from, until you are more comfortable and keep out of trouble.
Yes. We understand that while practicing on your own site, questions often arise. Of course you are welcome to book shorter follow up sessions or contract a regular support package if that’s your preference. We’re is here to make sure that you always have someone to turn to with a question.
We can even incorporate simple SEO and content training into your WordPress Training, if you’d like. That could include writing clearer service pages, updating page titles and descriptions or mapping out short blog posts to answer common questions from customers.
