How to build a Designers Portfolio Website on Wordpress with free tools within 1 day

In this course you will learn how to transform a design file into a clean designers portfolio website in Wordpress. So at the end of the course you can have your own designers portfolio up and ready to use.

I will use the free version of Elementor in this course (the most popular pagebuilder in the world) and I will use a free theme. That means that there are no hidden costs within this course. The only thing you need (which costs money) is a domain. But if you don’t have one, I will show you an easy way to acquire one.

What makes this course different is that I don’t just import a few templates and I show you how to edit those (like many other courses), but I’m a designer myself. So I know the theory behind design and will guide you from the first button to the last piece of text. If you literarily follow all the video’s you will have a new portfolio site after one day. Then you just need to change it according to your taste, and then you’re done!  

With the skills and website you will have at the end of this course you can to start offering your website skills to others!
