Web Design
Build beautiful WordPress websites with Elementor in one day on this Instructor led training course at BigRock Digital Academy. Learn hosting, design, SEO and email marketing hands-on, guided by an experienced web development tutor.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you’ll learn in this beginner WordPress course:
Before you can design or publish anything, you need a solid base. This module covers installation, your dashboard, and the early configuration choices that shape everything else.
Plugins are what give WordPress its real power. Here you'll add the must-haves that handle backups, security, traffic data, search visibility, contact forms, and email list growth.
Running a website today means meeting real legal obligations. This section walks you through the pages, policies, and consent tools that keep both you and your visitors protected.
This is where your site stops looking like a stock WordPress install and starts looking like yours — with proper branding, sharper copy, and the signature pages every credible business needs.
Elementor unlocks visual control far beyond the default editor. Start by getting comfortable with the interface and locking in the global fonts, colours, and section structures that will keep your design consistent everywhere.
Your home page does the heavy lifting for first impressions and conversions. You'll craft each element piece by piece — hero backgrounds, headlines, calls to action, trust signals, and email capture sections.
A slow site loses visitors before they ever read a word. Here you'll tighten up loading times, harden security, and refine how the site looks and behaves across desktops, tablets, and phones.
With your home page in place, extend the same design system across every other page that matters — Start Here, Courses, About, Resources, and Contact — using reusable templates to keep things consistent.
By the end of this course you'll have more than knowledge — you'll have a finished WordPress site that's fast, secure, legally compliant, beautifully designed, and ready to generate income. You'll work confidently in both the Gutenberg editor and Elementor, understand exactly which plugins are worth installing, and have hands-on experience growing an audience and turning that audience into revenue through ads, affiliates, and content strategy.
The path through the course is intentional. Each module feeds directly into the next, taking you from setup to content, content to legal essentials, legal essentials to branding, branding to design, design to performance, and performance to long-term monetisation. When you reach the final lesson, you won't just know how WordPress works — your own site will already be live.

Both course content and instructor knowledge is exceptional – fresh, engaging and relevant. The ongoing support that Big Rock Designs provides is a real plus. I plan to attend future courses and would recommend other do too!

Although my Photoshop knowledge was very limited, I found the organised sessions very easy to follow and I was over the moon at the amount I had learned. I’m looking forward to putting it all into practice in the coming months ahead.

As someone who has attended numerous digital workshops and training I can honestly say Big Rock Academy’s introduction to Photoshop was the best I’ve ever experienced. They excelled in teaching us the logic behind the main tools in a very easy to understand way.

I just completed the Advanced Photoshop course at Big Rock Academy and I’m extremely pleased with what I’ve learnt. I now feel equipped to put it into practice in my job. I had a great teacher and I was able to really get to grasps with the software very quickly.
