Our story…
My name is Shawn Hesketh, and for 26 years, I enjoyed a rewarding career as a freelance designer. Over the years, I built countless WordPress sites for my clients in and around the Greater Houston Area. To get my clients up to speed as quickly as possible, I also provided one-on-one WordPress training.
But one-on-one training isn’t feasible for everyone. So in 2008, I recorded the first WordPress 101 video ‘crash course’ to help beginners learn how to use WordPress in as little time as possible.
Over the past 10 years, the WordPress 101 tutorial videos have helped more than two million beginners around the world learn how to use WordPress!
Today, WP101 is one of the most popular WordPress tutorial courses in the world, and has been widely praised as the gold standard for WordPress video tutorials. We are proud to be a WP Engine Recommended Solution, and our videos have been licensed by GoDaddy, Pressable, Media Temple, WooCommerce, WPBeginner, Seth Godin, Jeff Goins, and even NASA… plus hundreds of other companies.
Who’s got time to waste on boring tech books or homemade YouTube videos filled with ‘uhs’ and ‘ums?’ Our videos are meticulously scripted with the beginner in mind, then professionally recorded and produced. Each video weighs in at just 5 minutes or less, and provides a complete overview of WordPress in a little over an hour. Continue learning with more advanced courses, or return anytime for a quick refresher.
Our training videos are used by companies you know and trust…
