How to build a new WordPress website - https migrations, seo, contact forms, google analytics

This month at my local WordPress meet up I demonstrated how you can build a WordPress website and what tools you need to get started. I covered a myriad of topics and our plan is to cover this series for the next couple months. We hope that folks can figure out how to build WordPress websites themselves by combining all the info we share in this series.

Here is the video from WhittierWP, my local WordPress meet that I co-manage. If you don’t live in the Whittier CA area and are looking to get involved in using WordPress you may want to find a local meetup.
