Next Door Tech WordPress Track

Website Development
with WordPress & AI

Repair techs and freelancers are often asked for a website alongside other work. This track turns that into a billable skill: you'll learn how the web works, master WordPress, use AI to plan and write faster, sell online with Paystack and Mobile Money, and hand polished sites to real clients.

Pre-course — setting up

  • ◇A laptop with at least 8 GB of RAM and internet access
  • ◇Install LocalWP (free) to run WordPress on your computer
  • ◇Create a Google account for backups and a free Paystack test account
  • ◇Write down three local businesses you know that have no website

No prerequisite. The free “AI for Builders” course helps you move faster in Module 3.

Your capstone project

You'll find a real local business with no website, build and publish its site end to end, then pitch it back to the owner — a live portfolio piece and potentially your first paying client.

Four levels, from how the web works to a live site for a real client.
