Testimonial

The WordPress course provided by Kanyo and Falkirk for Business is an excellent choice for new and small businesses. I found the WordPress admin interface easy to use, giving me the confidence to add more content and features, and maintain it by myself. A fair amount of time is spent focussing on search engine friendly features, Google Analytics and links to social networking, making it well suited to promoting products and services. With the easy to follow step-by-step instruction, you can have a functioning website by the end of the first day. The content is up to you!

We attended the WordPress Course run by Kanyo and Falkirk for Business and found it very helpful. Within two days we had created a fully functioning website for a new business with all content and design chosen and personalised by us. Colin’s expertise and advice has helped us create a website we are very proud of and find easy to maintain and keep looking fresh. We would highly recommend this course for anyone thinking of designing and maintaining their own website.
