I have been trying to understand how to navigate through the Wordpress Platform without any progress. This course has been a life saver! It thought me step by step how to create and publish my first Wordpress site using the Divi Builder. I highly recommend this course to anyone who feels lost while using Wordpress and wishes to build their first website or blog. Thanks professor Sol for the excellent course! Now I’m much more confident using Wordpress and I’m proud to say that I have built and published my own online business.
