It was an amazing course and I feel like I’ve learned so much. So many of the things were [taught in a way that was] not over my head. The pace and the energy of the class was just fantastic. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is starting out or already knows the bare bones of web coding.

ZABRINA R.

I had the pleasure of taking Kori’s WordPress and advanced HTML and CSS courses. I was always intimidated by coding and never thought I could do it. Kori’s teaching style and hands-on assignments made the courses fun and I learned a lot. I’m no longer intimidated by code even if I don’t fully understand it. Kori’s courses have helped me advance my career as an e-learning developer and entrepreneur. I highly recommend her expertise to anyone looking to learn advanced WordPress.

Corrissa L.

I’ve been a graphic designer for almost 20 years and wanted to move into website design. I didn’t know where to start and felt overwhelmed about learning web design. Taking Kori’s class gave me the path and direction that I had been looking for. It made learning WordPress a reality for me that wouldn’t have happened without her guidance. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to dive into the WordPress world!
