This is the only video that contains every single piece of information you could ever possibly need, in order to create a fully working complete website, using only free tools. Joshua I really appreciate that.

I am a little over 1 hour into the tutorial, and while I am not 100% sure I will ever use Astra vs Hello, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the video. Your combination of explaining the widgets, settings in each widget, and walking us through on how to achieve everything is very good. One of the top 3 people I have watched so far. Look forward to seeing the other videos soon.

Your a life saver man!!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have been having issues building my website for weeks now not knowing that I wasn't doing it the right way. I have watched several YouTube videos but no positive results, you're a God sent, thank you so much God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤

[OfficialNatalieJackson]

Just wanted to add that you tutorial is by far the best and so easy to follow. Please make more videos like this one, they are truly appreciated!

[LL-xkyu]

This is the best tutorial I have ever seen. It’s so clear and concise. Wow. Thank you so much.

[kgt]

I was worried hadn’t seen a video from you in a while! And then you come with 4 hours of FREE content most “gurus” would charge $$$$ for. Love it! 💪🏾💪🏾

[richhands]

My three favorite channels: Joshua Mayo, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[joystormofficial]

By far - this is the BEST video to utilize when building your Wordpress Website - I had to rebuild my band's website from scratch because my Wix migration didn't work - the 4 hour investment is well worth it. Joshua is thorough, clear, and absolutely made my website angst go away. I'm so grateful for creators like you Joshua - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

[Mike-nysf]

Just found this.. After clicking in the middle to get an idea of your style, just wanted to say that your voice and clarity is excellent.

[qingchen]

as an adhder with hearing attention issue. Your tutorial is amazing! This is first time I watch a tutorial video more than half hour without lost. I don’t even need turn on the subtitle! Most time I even need subtitles for the video made with my first language(yes, English is not my first language). Your tutorial pace and how clear you speak is super good. And the logical of this tutorial is amazing too. Never thought I can master Wordpress within a day. Wish you can make more tutorial in the future.

[Singhnamjot]
