The WordPress development tutorial is broken down into separate chapters based on each major stage of design and development. WordPress course instructor Geoff Blake begins with a guide to site planning and wireframing techniques, covering key design principles and showing how to work with Adobe Illustrator as a web layout tool. After putting a basic mockup in place, the tutorials show how to move into a site’s fonts, colors, logo and principle design elements. Within Adobe Photoshop, these components are finished and then sliced as needed for proper placement on the page.

Next the course moves into the installation and configuration of WordPress on a local machine for development and testing. The WordPress training shows how to install and configure MySQL, XAMPP and MAMP for a functional installation that lets the user create and test builds before going live. Instructor Blake goes through the WP front-end and back-end and shows how to create a completely custom WordPress theme based on the previous wireframes. He then goes through individual blog and newsfeed design, page design and the creation of a functional frontpage slideshow, sidebar and footer.

Finally, the WordPress tutorials conclude with a detailed chapter on uploading the fully themed WordPress site to a live web server for launch. The resulting project website at the heart of the training is then fully accessible to visitors, and ready for regular updates and posts from even non-technical users.

“Geoff has a unique talent for taking the entire process and putting it into steps that any user can understand,” said Chris Johns, content specialist for InfiniteSkills. “He’s even able to go into more technical aspects of PHP and CSS that will help WordPress builders really get the most from their sites.”

In addition to the Building Websites with WordPress Tutorial Video for InfiniteSkills, Geoff Blake has authored over 30 other video training courses on development and design topics. He has worked professionally as a designer in print and web-based industries.

InfiniteSkills" Releases "How to Use WordPress for E-Commerce Training," An In-Depth Course on Using The WordPress Platform To Sell Online

(PRWEB) December 13, 2012

Software training firm InfiniteSkills Inc. last week released its “How to Use WordPress for E-Commerce Tutorial,” a course designed for website developers and designers who use the popular WordPress content platform and would like to integrate a store or other commerce-related features.

WordPress is currently the world’s most popular content management system, but it does not include a shopping cart system in its native format. According to course author and experienced web-designer Gary Plumly, while this may seem to be a disadvantage, it actually means web designers have more options for integrating and customizing e-commerce elements.

“Using WordPress means you are not committed to a single way of doing e-commerce,” Plumly says. “You can make WordPress do pretty much whatever you want using plug-ins.”

For instance, not only can they choose whether or not to include a PayPal button, web designers can also decide exactly how one would best be integrated into their site.

As Plumly explains, WordPress itself is only a barebones system, but it can be customized to your own ends using the many available commerce-related plug-ins.

How To Use WordPress for E-Commerce Video Training – DVD

Plumly has more than 15 years’ experience in web design and development for small businesses and individuals”Going way back,” he says, “to the days when we were hand coding everything.” He is the author of a “24-Hour Trainer for WordPress,” and “100 Questions to Ask Before You Build a Website.” He currently runs a free WordPress help site, and teaches in person and online at the WordPress Academy.

Plumly brings his technical insight along with a keen understanding of what is most important to students gained from an extensive teaching career to the How to Use WordPress for E-Commerce Tutorial. After explaining the basics of how WordPress can be customized with plugins, Plumly explains how to set up a system for single item selling. He then goes into creating a shopping cart and how to implement key plugins for fast, simple use by web customers, including purchasing systems for digital downloads,

Plumly then covers three popular e-commerce plugins, the WP E-Commerce plugin, the Jigoshop plugin, and the WooCommerce Plugin, all of which offer different takes on the processes of running a shopping cart system including organizing products, checkout processes, and automated customer order reports, among many other key features.

“The great thing about using WordPress for commerce is that you only need one program,” Plumly says. “You don’t have to learn two different interfaces for your content management program and a store program, it’s all in one package. And when it comes to user interface, WordPress has one of the bestpeople quickly learn to use it and then keep on using it.”
