This course is helpful and fun. If you are completely new to the topic, you will leave with an understanding of the tools that are available to you and how to start using them. With some practice, you will soon be ready for one more advanced Luckyweb's courses. Rafi is a very patient teacher and he explains tasks in a clear manner so that also complete beginners have the opportunity to follow and learn. This is a fun class with interesting students from different backgrounds and industries. I recommend it to anyone who is new to WordPress and is thinking about building a website with it.

Great experience, very informative. The course was an excellent overview of setting up a website, then Rafi broke down each section into steps to follow. Rafi was very generous with his time overrunning to allow for Q&A. I feel confident now to create my own website Thank you

It's been a great course. If you want to create your first website without, this is a good course to get started. Rafi explained everything by making the learning process easy and has been so professional and kind enough to answer any question.

Rafi is a very experienced and patient teacher. He is adept at explaining how to build a SEO ready website from scratch, explaining the basic concepts you'll need to create the foundations so when you leave the course, you have the confidence to add your own content. I would highly recommend his courses, no matter what skill set you have or website you have in mind.

Rafi WordPress workshop is absolutely good, he is very patient and very knowledgeable. I learned the how to build my website and the difference between plugins and widget which for me as a beginner was unheard of. I particularly appreciated learning how to secure my site he gave us step by step instruction on how to do it as well as recommending trustful sources to find tools and how to search for them on google. Brilliant class I really recommend.

I have been working with Rafi since 2011. firstly with the Enterprise society at University College London, where Rafi run two Wordpress courses during our events. These courses were very well attended and we received very positive feedback. Secondly, Rafi has been helping me build a blog with high profile interviews, targetted at the well-educated public in my home country (Brazil). We've been having Skype sessions combined with screenshare, during which Rafi helped me customise theme, homepage, posts, adding slider images, resizing images, etc.The amazing thing is that Rafi teaches me the steps, so I become independent in building the website. Moreover, Rafi is very approachable and patient. I highly recommend Rafi .

Ever since I've met Rafi at a fashion networking event a few years ago, he has been super helpful in helping me build my website using WordPress. He always answers any questions I might have and makes the whole process of creating, designing and building your website a whole lot easier. I am very happy that he is always there when I need him. His workshops are brilliant, where he makes everything quite straightforward to understand, even if you have little or no experience of websites or coding. I would recommend him at any point. Great job, Rafi!

Rafi is a great teacher and the course is very informative. Why learn to build a website or blog if it isnt going to be SEO ready? Rafi helps with all of that and has some extra tools as well. I Definetly recommend his class to any newbie!

I highly recommend this course. It is great for beginners, who have never worked with WordPress before. The course is very intense and informative for a 7 hours session. Rafi was amazing. He was very patient with all of us and made sure we understood every step. I feel confident to finally crate my own website.
