Webstix, Inc. offers monthly Content Management System (CMS) training classes at our office on Madison's east side. Below is the schedule. Please check back here before attending in case there are changes. You must register if you are going to attend a class. If there are no participants for a class, it will be canceled.
WordPress and Joomla CMS Training Classes
The CMS training class session agenda is:
- (5 minutes) Introduction
- (50 minutes) Basic page and menu editing.
- (35 minutes) Answer any questions or do specific training
- End after 1 hour and 30 minutes.
This is open to our clients and to the public. The classes are free of charge. You can come to find out more about our CMS, to get a refresher course (or send in new people if you've hired new employees), to brush up on your web/CMS skills or to ask specific questions about your Content Management System website.
Joomla and WordPress Training Schedule
We are now alternating between WordPress (WP) and Joomla (1.5.x+), where one month will be about Joomla and the next month will be training in WordPress. The only Joomla training that we're doing is on the 1.5.x version (not the 1.0.x version any more). If you need 1.0.x training, then you are invited to the 1.5.x classes but just know that there will be some differences.
You must RSVP (register) for classes using the form below.
If there are no attendees registering for a class (24 hours before the class), the class will be canceled.
