Want to Learn WordPress? Here’s Where to Start.

Learn WordPress For Beginners –  Updated July 2025!

If you’re a small business owner wanting to take control of your website — without the tech overwhelm — you’re in the right place.

For years, our NCDAcademy WordPress101® course helped business owners build confidence and create websites they could actually manage. Originally run as an 8-week beginner course through Natalie Crowe Designs, NCDAcademy WordPress101® has now evolved into something bigger, better, and even more accessible.

Today, you’ll find NCDAcademy WordPress101® inside NCDAcademy — our dedicated learning space designed for DIYers, side hustlers, and business owners ready to build or manage their own WordPress websites.

Why We Created NCDAcademy

As the demand for website support grew, so did the need for a clear, jargon-free place where non-techie business owners could actually learn how WordPress works — without relying on Google rabbit holes or frustrating YouTube tutorials.

NCDAcademy WordPress101® was the foundation, and it quickly became clear that it needed its own space. That’s why NCDAcademy was created — to give you the skills and confidence to take ownership of your site, at your own pace, with professional guidance.

What You’ll Learn in NCDAcademy WordPress101®

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve inherited a website and don’t know where to begin, this course walks you through the essentials:

• Getting set up with WordPress (hosting, domain names, and all the behind-the-scenes stuff)
• How to use the WordPress dashboard without breaking things
• Choosing and working with themes and plugins
• Creating pages, blog posts, and navigation that makes sense
• The basics of keeping your site secure and backed up
• Managing updates with confidence

This is not a tech-heavy developer course. It’s designed for real business owners who want practical, no-fluff support to run a professional-looking website themselves.

What Makes NCDAcademy Different?

There are plenty of online courses out there. But most of them assume you already know how to code, or skip over the basics entirely.

At NCDAcademy, we:

• Break things down into easy-to-understand modules
• Speak in plain English (no tech jargon)
• Offer real-world examples from working with hundreds of small businesses
• Provide support through our learning community and options for 1:1 sessions

And because this is a self-paced program, you can learn on your schedule — and revisit lessons whenever you need to.

Ready to Take Control of Your Website?

If you’ve been putting off updating your site because you’re afraid of breaking something, or if you’re tired of waiting on someone else to make basic edits — NCDAcademy WordPress101® is your next step.
