WordPress, Blogging & Tech Tutorials

Online WordPress Training

I provide personal, online WordPress training and consulting all around the world! I am based in Los Angeles, but no matter where you are located, I can help you learn WordPress and get your site up and running. Or, if you already have a WordPress site, I can help you develop it further and provide ongoing support to turn you into a WordPress power user.

For online sessions with clients in North America, I use a combination of phone (I’ll call you, so no need to worry about long distance fees) and an online screen-sharing application so that I can see your screen and talk you through the process. If you are located outside of North America, we can use Skype rather than the telephone.

Our WordPress training session will be completely customized for your particular needs, and I encourage you to send me a list of your questions/issues before our session so that we can make the best use of your time. Some common issues I help people with include:

– Getting WordPress installed on your server
– Choosing a theme that is suitable for your needs and helping you configure the theme correctly
– Basic theme tweaks – adding a logo, tweaking fonts, colors etc
– 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
– Setting up an online store (WooCommerce, Shopp, Easy Digital Downloads etc)
– Creating a membership site (Paid Memberships Pro, MemberPress, Restrict Content etc)
– Advanced topics such as creating child themes
– Help with configuring your theme you are working with. I’ve worked with countless themes from many providers including: WooThemes, Elegant Themes, StudioPress, Genesis, ThemeForest, Solostream, GraphPaperPress, Organic Themes and more.
– Developers looking to get started with WordPress
– Designers wanting to transition to WordPress

The rate is $60/hour for one-on-one training, during weekdays and weekday evenings.

Hi! I'm Lucy Beer. I know that WordPress 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'll cut your learning curve in half (at least!)

You'll get the specific info & knowledge you need, unlike a generic tutorial

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.
