In today’s digital age, educators are not just teachers—they’re content creators, community builders, and innovators shaping the future of learning. Whether you’re designing an online classroom, a school website, or a personal portfolio, having the skills to create professional, user-friendly websites is essential. That’s why I’m excited to announce my new course: Mastering WordPress Web Design for Educators. This hands-on program will equip you with the tools to build stunning, responsive websites using WordPress, focusing on responsive layouts, user experience (UX), search engine optimization (SEO), and real-world application.
As Ticha Denis Kruger, a passionate web developer and educator based in Uganda, I’ve designed this course specifically for teachers, trainers, and EdTech enthusiasts who want to take control of their online presence. No prior coding experience is required—just a willingness to learn and create. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident in crafting websites that engage students, parents, and colleagues alike.
