Does it matter which WordPress theme or page builder I use?

We can work with most setups, Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi. Let us know what you're using when you get in touch and we will make sure the session covers it.

What if I break something during the session?

We set up a backup before we start so there is always a restore point. Breaking things is part of learning, that's why we do it safely.

Is this in person or online?

In-person works best for this one so we can look at your screen together. We can come to you in Liverpool or Merseyside.

Do you build WordPress sites too?

Yes. If you need a new site built properly from scratch, our web design service covers that.
