Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior coding experience to join this course?

A basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and foundational programming concepts (like variables and loops) is helpful. The course includes an introductory crash course covering the specific PHP and JavaScript mechanics required for WordPress development.

How does this course differ from generic video tutorials?

Most online tutorials only show you how to configure pre-built commercial themes and plugins. This program focuses on software engineering: writing custom PHP templates from scratch, building proprietary plugins, coding custom Gutenberg blocks in React, and configuring server-level performance.

Will this course prepare me for freelance work or agency employment?

Yes. You will learn the exact workflows agencies and freelance clients demand—converting Figma designs into custom editable themes, structuring custom post types, writing secure forms/plugins, and launching production sites on live hosting servers.
