This course focuses on creating websites using WordPress. WordPress is a free, open source Content Management System (CMS) and blogging tool used to create websites. WordPress can be used to create traditional blogging sites and standard static websites for business or personal use. Students will analyze third party website designs to help develop an understanding of proper web structure. Domain name registration, and hosting services are discussed. Students will utilize free, downloadable software to host sites on localized virtual servers, as well as develop sites on Iowa Central’s Webtech2 server. No previous experience with WordPress is needed. By the end of this course students will have a professional looking site, live on the internet, hosted on Webtech2. The tools and skills used in this course are the same tools and skills used by designers creating professional client-based sites.
