WordPress course in Barcelona, April 2013

I know that there are still many days left until April… but in the January course there were some students left on the waiting list, so we have already opened registration for the next course. Creating websites with WordPress, which we will hold in Barcelona.

This course will start on April 3rd and will consist of 4 sessions of 4 hours each. These sessions will be held on: April 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th (every Wednesday in April) at the BIMBS headquarters (Barcelona International Management Business School, c/Montevideo, nº 31 [behind the Pedralbes Monastery] 08034 Barcelona). The schedule is from 4 to 8 pm.

As in previous courses, the objective is to get students to create their own corporate website using the content manager. WordPress (To give you an idea, here are some pages created with WordPress: www.montsepenarroya.com, www.bimb-school.es,  www.morecolorum.com, www.cuinadecasa.com, www.pmasters.es, www.3isic.com, www.lonostrearros.cat, …)

The website that each student creates will be perfectly indexed in search engines, will contain Google Analytics codes so that the student can track the visits and contacts they receive, will be registered with Google Webmasters, will automatically connect to the main social networks and, if the student wishes, can also be multilingual with automatic translation or manual translation.

To do this, the student must have a domain name and of a hosting (web hosting) where WordPress will be installed. The domain name costs between 10 euros/year and 15 euros/year for a “dot com”. The hosting costs between 50 euros/year and 80 euros/year.

To facilitate the installation of WordPress, the purchase of domains and the contracting of hosting, we have closed an agreement with the company CDMon.com, which offers these services.

This company offers us hosting with WordPress pre-installed, free of charge for 6 months, in exchange for its logo appearing as a technological partner on the student's website. If you wish to take advantage of this promotion, indicate it when booking the course and we will send you the codes that will allow you to contract the hosting for zero euros.

If you are not interested in promotion, we still recommend that you hire a hosting that has WordPress pre-installed, since you will save time on the technical part of installing this content manager. To serve as a guide, these are the features of the one offered by CDMon in its Junior hosting (which is the one we recommend): https://www.cdmon.com/cas/hosting/ .

In case you don't get a hosting with WordPress pre-installed, don't worry, we will install it with you on the first day of class. Just make sure you have the login and password for your hosting and that it allows the creation of a database. We will do the rest in class.

The total price of the course is €340/student.

He Market value of a website built on WordPress It's 3,500 euros, so for less than 10% of its price and an investment of 16 hours of your time, you can get the website you want, as well as learn how to create it.

During the class, each student will be personally advised on the particularities of each website and will work both individually and in groups. There will be 2 teachers, Helena Casa and myself, and together we will move forward in the creation of each one's website.

The students of the Master in Digital Marketing from BIMBS For the edition that will begin in March 2013, you can attend this course for free, although you must also register. If you have already registered for the master's degree, you can take this course in person by attending these classes or online.
