About the Course

What you’ll achieve: In this project-centered course*, you’ll design, build, and publish a basic website that incorporates text, sound, images, hyperlinks, plug-ins, and social media interactivity. We’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions, exercises, tips, and tools that enable you to set up a domain name, create an attractive layout for your pages, organize your content properly, ensure that your site functions well across different operating systems and on mobile devices, keep your site safe, and finally, let people know your site is online. We’ll even show you how to track your visitors. Throughout the course, you'll engage in collaboration and discussion with other learners through course forums and peer review. Once you complete your first website project using Wordpress, you can move on to our optional, extended module that covers more advanced techniques such as using a simple text editor, coding in HTML, CSS, and Javascript, and more. What you’ll need to get started: This project-centered course is designed for learners who have little or no prior experience developing a web site. You will need a computer with a stable Internet connection. We’ll use Wordpress to get you started, provide lots of downloadable examples, and guide you through the process of giving and receiving constructive peer-to-peer feedback. *About Project-Centered Courses: Project-centered courses are designed to help you complete a personally meaningful real-world project, with your instructor and a community of learners with similar goals providing guidance and suggestions along the way. By actively applying new concepts as you learn, you’ll master the course content more efficiently; you’ll also get a head start on using the skills you gain to make positive changes in your life and career. When you complete the course, you’ll have a finished project that you’ll be proud to use and share....

I really enjoyed this online course with Coursera, it helped me a lot to understand the basics of web development and how to use different platforms such as WordPress and other resources that were offered to us during this course to create a very decent looking website in a short period of time. Also, I feel that now it leaves the doors open for us to continue learning and to grow our own personal interest and to develop more passion for this well-desired career if that is something you are looking for to explore from now on.

I found it very useful and well structured, at the end of the course I can say that I understand how WordPress works. I give 4 stars because I would add only one thing: a brief description of the WordPress platform, how it is structured and how to approach it because for me it was the first time and I still don't understand some things well.

The videos of the teachers are very short and doesnt have any content. All the teachers want is you to do all the work without giving us any details. Lots of students are confused what to do!!!

A good course for those who have not an idea on WordPress platform. If you already work with WordPress, then you will gain less knowledge from this course. This course has great projects too.

It was a good course for a learner but the amount of videos present are less.I had to depend on youtube and the internet for most of the stuff.

Not enough teaching from the professors , just presentation slides. Which kind of reduced the human component of learning.
