WordPress One-on-One Consulting
The third Friday of every month, I do one-on-one consulting sessions at Boulder Digital Arts. It’s my favorite day of the month as I find I am able to quickly and efficiently help people with their most confounding WordPress issues. Typically people come in with questions related to implementing premium theme features, choosing a plugin for a specific need, security issues, SEO strategy, hosting and migration, and many others. Don’t suffer and waste hours of time. Come see me!
Date: Friday, September 18th; Friday, October 16th; Friday, November 21

Improve Your WordPress SEO
Tuesday and Thursday, November 3 & 4, 9 am to noon (TBD)
I’ve separated this class into two sessions to allow us to go deeper into both basic concepts of SEO as well as specific strategies within WordPress for working with Yoast SEO plugin and Yoast Google Analytics. I do recommend taking Dave Taylor’s classes before my class, so you have an even broader SEO perspective and use my class to apply these concepts to your WordPress site.
I cover a lot of SEO basics and strategies as well, but with my own unique take on it for local businesses and blogs. During the class, we also review students’ sites for obvious issues that may adversely effect your SEO. I follow up the class with a series of SEO Tips via email.
Dates: November 3 & 5. Currently listed as 1-4 pm but trying to change it to 9 am to noon

Six-Week Theme Customization Course
Early 2016, TBA
I am excited to be teaching another round of my six-week WordPress theme customization course at Boulder Digital Arts this fall. The class is currently full and underway, but it is being offered again next February, so I’ll be sure to let people know this November about the final dates.
This is always a fun class to teach because it helps to fill in the blanks for many people who have been using WordPress for years as well as people new to WordPress. Students usually feel like they’ve received a great foundation for their further WordPress development. Many people have launched freelance careers after taking this course.
