Why is WordPress training so hard?

We’d all love to hand a site off to someone who can take care of it. And clients want to know they just spent a ton of money on something that will last. But the truth is that investment will be lost if a client can’t actually use the tool you’ve given them.

Detachment

Training falls by the wayside because it’s preventative and not very actionable. We can’t immediately see or feel it’s benefits, so we don’t prioritize it.

Discomfort

It’s a common idea that “website stuff” is too hard or complicated for the average person to pick up. It’s scary for clients to learn something new, especially if they’ve had negative experiences in the past.

Distance

You and your client probably don’t speak the same language when it comes to WordPress. Bridging the gap between your professions can be as hard for you as it is scary for them.

From freelancers to agency owners

In this course, all your questions about training clients on how to use a WordPress site will be answered. Train solo, or train your training team; the information adapts and scales with you.

  • How does investing in training benefit me and my client?
  • How can I convince a reluctant client to spend more time and energy on training?
  • How do I teach someone who isn’t comfortable with technology or computers?
  • How do I decide what goes into a training session?
  • What tools should I use for training?
  • How do I know when to NOT train them on something?
  • What method or style should I use to teach?
  • How do I know what type of training or language will be helpful for my client?
  • What should I give my client to help them learn after training is over?
