WordPress - Administrating a Professional Web Site Training

The WordPress Administrating a Professional Web Site training gives you the keys to manage a production WordPress site calmly and professionally. Across three intensive days, you cover clean installation, dashboard configuration, user and permission management, strategic plugin choices, security, backups, performance and basic SEO. A key step for webmasters, digital communication officers and independents in French-speaking Switzerland.

Mastering WordPress administration means keeping your site online, fast and secure all year

For profiles based in Geneva or Lausanne, being able to administer a WordPress site in production has become a real asset. The course focuses on real-world use: structuring user roles, deploying critical plugins (cache, security, SEO, backup), monitoring performance, managing regular backups and anticipating incidents. You work on concrete site cases and leave with an administration checklist ready to apply on your projects.
