WordPress Training & Help – Orange County

I provide in-person WordPress training and consulting in the Orange County area. I can help you learn WordPress and get your site up and running. If you already have a WordPress site, I can help you develop it further and provide ongoing support to turn you into a WordPress rockstar.

I provide training for individuals and small business on various aspects of using WordPress. We can meet in-person, or via phone/online screensharing if you prefer.

Each WordPress training session is customized to suit your particular needs, but may include:

- Installing WordPress on your server
- Choosing a theme
- Basic theme tweaks
- Configuring options and settings
- Installing the right plugins for your needs
- Publishing content, working with images, media, formatting
- What to blog about – developing a content strategy
- Basic & advanced SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- Promoting your blog, driving traffic
- Ongoing coaching and consultation as you develop your blog

The base rate is $50/hour for one-on-one training, during weekdays and weekday evenings, with a travel fee of $25/session. Weekend appointments are $60/hour, plus travel.

If you would like to avoid the travel fee, we can meet in the Los Angeles area for the regular hourly rate, or we can conduct an online training session.

If you require training for a group, such as your company’s staff, fees will vary – please enquire.

Why Should You Work With Me?

Hi! I'm Lucy Beer. I believe that technology is liberating when you know how to use it, and bewildering when you don’t. I have been using WordPress to build websites since 2004 and doing online marketing since 2001. I can offer you a unique combination of marketing experience, technical knowledge and easy-to-understand training.

Here are some of the reasons people like to work with me:

I make learning fun and understandable

I have years of marketing experience that you can benefit from

I understand code but don’t speak in it

I love to experiment with WordPress so feel free to throw a challenge at me - "Can I do this with WordPress?”

I’ve learned everything from the ground up and have self-taught myself code and all the tech-y things. So I understand the challenges of trying to make sense of it all

I work on WordPress sites every single day so I can save you the time and hassle of figuring out the best ways to do things by yourself.

Testimonials

I wanted to send this picture to you – you really know your stuff – look at how my data has increased be following a few changes on my site! You’re awesome, the best money I have spent. Thanks so much! — Kristine

Lucy is hands-down one of the best teachers I have ever had and I’ve had quite a few. Her communication skills are clear, which made my learning process faster and easier. Two words – Lucy ROCKS! — Stephany Alexander – Author, Internet Entrepreneur and Relationship Expert

Lucy helped me learn the basics of WordPress and set up my blog (within hours) so that I was up and running like a blogging professional. With a gentle demeanor, she is easy to talk to, and didn’t run screaming out of my office when I asked redundant questions. She thoroughly helped me with everything I asked, cheerfully showing me the way through WordPress land. Thank you Lucy! — Butterfly du Jour, eroticadujour.com

Working with Lucy to transfer my WordPress site to a new host was a great experience. She was efficient, friendly, and reliable. It was time I stopped wearing the IT hat and passed the baton to a pro. Lucy saved me hours of time that I could instead devote to running my business. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat. — Michael Grodsky, HealthInsuranceForArtists.com

Being referred to Lucy is one of the best things that ever happened to me. She is patient, smart and really knows her stuff. She is also an excellent teacher, showing me how to do things on my own so that I am not dependent upon her forever. I recommend her without reservation. — Molly Larkin, mollylarkin.com

Lucy Beer and WebTrainingWheels have taught me SEO strategies and website optimization. She’s been instrumental in keeping me up to speed with the changing landscape of online marketing. But knowledge/mastery of topic is one thing. Lucy is a skilled teacher as well. — Nicole Balin, Ballin PR (print & online publicity)
