Website Selection
I googled the best software to create a website and become quite overwhelmed with the choice. I settled on the software that I had been watching for a while; WordPress.
WordPress offered a few things that I look for in software. The first is longevity according to wpbeginner (2022) The software has been around since 2003, and 43% of all websites on the internet are powered by WordPress.
I also knew that it was expandable to allow for retail sales allowing if, in the future, I wish to provide distance training that I would be able to do so.
Self-Directed Training Selection
Once I confirmed the details of what I needed to learn, I was finally ready to select the training requirements. I did a quick needs analysis, determining I needed training that could provide me with basic knowledge as I have no knowledge of how to use WordPress. The following were my requirements.
Base level knowledge from getting to know what WordPress can do to managing reader interaction and where I can go for more instruction.
To find this, I went to Linkedin learning and found WordPress.com Essential Training Build a site with wordPress.com
