Build a Website from Start to Finish using WordPress [Full Course]

Learn how to build a completely custom website using WordPress, PHP, HTML, CSS, and Elementor. You will learn how set up your local server, create the design, and build a custom WordPress theme that works with Elementor.

The design section is sped up because it is just an example about how the design is done. You can create your own design or use a preexisting design.

Once you have learned how to build out your website, you will learn how to get it from your local server to a production server and how to setup SEO, security, and caching the right way.

Don't worry if you don't know much PHP. Everything you need is explained in the course.

I hope you find this video interesting. It was a fun project and it is versatile, so you can take the core concepts and build on it to make a large variety of websites. Good luck.

The deeper I am in this video the more I realize how much I can do with it. Wordpress was so far a big clunky book to me after taking 2-3 fairly good courses on templates and plugins creation. After 3h of this video I started to realize how much I already know about wordpress and most importantly that perhaps I can actually make my own website with it. Neverending stream of heart emojis to you guys! Big, big, all caps "THANK YOU" with a lot of exclamation marks!

[marknasri]

thank you, it was really what i was looking for

[thaivunguyen]

Holy, this is what I wanted for a long time

Just in case some of you have issues with elementor and wordpress 5.5.3, try changing Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks to plain (or something other than Post name). This fixed Elementor issues for me.

I am an Android engineer primarily but have launched my own business and need a site.
I know the value in having a pro do it, but want to learn how it all works in 2021 and should be a fun project.

This video really needs more of the "why" behind the things you are doing. You just jump into writing code and say "oh this is a wordpress function" then continue on your day like everyone knows what you are thinking.

Im done self studying this course! thank you thank you thank you dev drawer! I've learned so much from this course!

[omarswebsites]

Awesome video! I would suggest Local for your WordPress development. Skips you from having to do a lot of those setup steps!

[cambailey]

Having a nightmare trying to put the Wordpress files onto the database! Really wish you hadn’t done that off screen

[Yadav-rffj]

Wow that illustration idea was helpful.

[nayonmazumder]

best YouTube channel for learning something good🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩💗

[speaklife]

Just in time, was just thinking of creating one for my new project.

[aneeqak]

The best course for WP theme development! Not a single minute is wasted

[zadekeys]

If WAMP allows you to use WP-CLI you can automate the plugin installation & a few other area's. Not for a novice, but effective for professionals/enthusiasts.

[devendrahyalij]

what you are actually doing off-screen you should keep everything open cause it's too much confusing for beginners. you know what it really sucks when you just suddenly jumps back and forth 🤦‍♂️ I hope next time you will keep in mind about this problem :)
Have a great day 🙂

[akashbharadwaj]

oh man.. this is exactly what we a begineer i would always be confused why are we using this that.... too much confusion this will clear do similar sample projects for data science etc too....

(i always thank you in comments but reality is that i have never completed any of your course.. not even seen 5 minutes.. but i have just browsed many to stop procrastinating and start doing something real.. )

dont forget to do something similar for data science too.. python and sql etc.... oh wow.. if you put soooo many projects in this channel and turn on ads..woah.. it would be big money man... keep posting projects man... it would be comunity is in too much trouble right now...but you will make it better i think... 5 yr down the line..

[johnfisayo]

I've been looking for something like this..

[patrickwandjimingue]

Thank you very much for this very informative video. I would like to know if you know of a plugin that allows you to send an email to your customers reminding them of the products they have saved in their wishlist and informing them when they go on sale. Thanks a lot

Hey guys, when I add 'nav-menu' the inner section at 33:16 and I apply the changes I get a warning that says Warning: Undefined array key "menu" in on line 1861. What could be the problem with Elementor ??
