    I can't begin to tell you how valuable this video is for novice Web developers (do it yourselfers). Due to the length I'm sure a lot was put into making it. Very much appreciated!
  • @theegunsmith
    I'm new to WP, and you made my week! I started my site and then I found your video. I went from INSANE to sanity by following along with the video. Thanks Much!!!
  • @Mr__Fogg
    Very useful and well put together video - thanks for this! 🙌
  • I wish this video released many years ago, when I started to build my own wordpress site. A really great and detailed tutorial. Kudos :)
  • Great tutorial. I learned Wordpress a while ago, then switched to code based design, now I'm revisiting it. This was a really helpful refresher. Wordpress feels kind of awkward to me, but this tutorial makes it easier to get used to. Much different than coding, but kind of more fun imo. Not as much control, but you can get a cool site faster and learn a lot just by playing around with the interface.
  • This is empowering. From somebody who didn't know what the backside of the website look like. Thank you.
