WordPress and CMS: the n°1 web platform in Switzerland
WordPress remains, in 2026, the most used content management system (CMS) in the world to publish and administer a professional website. Institutional sites, corporate blogs, e-commerce with WooCommerce, event sites, association sites, freelancer portfolios: WordPress flexibility and ecosystem cover a wide variety of use cases. In Geneva, Lausanne and across French-speaking Switzerland, digital agencies, communication departments, freelancers, associations and SMEs widely use WordPress for their web presence.
Following a recognised WordPress training opens access to skills valued in several functions: digital communication manager, digital marketing specialist, web integrator, freelancer, digital agency, trainer. This skill is particularly expected in organisations internalising their site management, wishing to reduce dependence on an external agency or wanting to drive themselves the current evolutions of their web presence.
ITTA offers a catalogue dedicated to the WordPress CMS, focused on customisation and publication of a professional site and on current administration. Each session is built around practical cases inspired by WordPress sites in French-speaking Switzerland, with limited group sizes to enable personalised support and individual feedback on your own sites or projects.
Whether you are a communication manager, digital marketing specialist, freelancer, web integrator, trainer or evolving employee, our training in Geneva and Lausanne provides the practical skills to publish your WordPress site, customise it to your image and administer it over time without dependence on an external technical team.
Skills covered by our WordPress and CMS catalogue
WordPress and Dreamweaver, publish and customize a professional website
The WordPress and Dreamweaver Publish and Customize a Professional Web Site training covers the creation of a complete WordPress site. The programme addresses installation, initial configuration, theme choice and customisation, adding essential extensions (SEO, security, performance, forms, backup), page and post creation, media management, editor onboarding (Gutenberg, Elementor) and an introduction to Dreamweaver for custom HTML CSS adjustments. This training suits profiles starting a WordPress site or wishing to take back full mastery of an existing site.
WordPress, administering a professional website
The WordPress Administrating a Professional Web Site training deepens the current administration of a WordPress site in production. The programme addresses user and role management, backup and restore, WordPress, theme and extension updates, security best practices (backups, SSL certificates, hardening), performance optimisation (cache, images, CDN), audience tracking (Google Analytics, Search Console) and basic on-page SEO. This training suits profiles maintaining a WordPress site in production or taking over from a previous team.
Build your WordPress path
A newcomer to WordPress starting a site follows WordPress and Dreamweaver Publish and Customize a Professional Web Site to acquire end-to-end autonomy. A communication manager or freelancer maintaining an existing site follows WordPress Administrating a Professional Web Site. A profile regularly producing sites for different clients combines both training courses to cover creation and administration. For profiles wishing to go further on the technical dimension of the web (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, advanced integration), the front-end development sub-domain brings the necessary skills. For the marketing dimension of the WordPress site (SEO, advertising, analytics), the SEO and SEA sub-domain brings the necessary complementary skills.

WordPress and CMS trends in 2026
Several evolutions are shaping WordPress usage in 2026. The Gutenberg editor continues to evolve with Full Site Editing (FSE), which makes theme customisation more accessible. Builders like Elementor remain widely used in agencies and freelancers. Security becomes a central topic with the multiplication of attacks on WordPress (regular backups, hardening, SSL certificates, systematic updates). Performance and SEO remain priorities, with strong attention on Core Web Vitals and image optimisation. WooCommerce continues to dominate e-commerce on WordPress, particularly suited to Swiss SMEs selling online. Copilot features and generative AI are entering content writing and image generation integrated into articles. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current practices in agencies and communication departments.

FAQ
Do I need to know HTML CSS before WordPress training?
No. The WordPress and Dreamweaver Publish and Customize a Professional Web Site training is accessible without prior HTML CSS knowledge. Good general IT ease is sufficient. Profiles wishing to further customise a theme can complement with front-end development training courses.
Is WordPress secure for a professional site?
Yes, provided security best practices are respected: regular updates of WordPress, themes and extensions, systematic backups, SSL certificates, choice of quality extensions, administration hardening. The WordPress Administrating a Professional Web Site training precisely covers these best practices.
Is WordPress suitable for an e-commerce site?
Yes, particularly with the WooCommerce extension that natively integrates with WordPress. WooCommerce suits SMEs and freelancers wishing to sell online with a controlled budget. For very high volume shops or with very specialised needs, dedicated solutions like Shopify or Magento may be more relevant according to your context.
Are your WordPress courses available for companies?
Yes, the entire WordPress catalogue is available in-house, in Geneva, Lausanne and in virtual classroom, with a programme adapted to your internal stack (theme, builder, extensions). Our team builds the specifications with you and organises sessions according to your calendar.
