Do-it-yourself (DIY) WordPress Development

Learn WordPress and boost your business in Ottawa

In the One on One Session

At a time that’s most convenient to you, learn WordPress at your own pace via customized one-on-one sessions. You get up to full two-days of uninterrupted time. Prior to the session, I will assess your WordPress literacy and work with you to create a curriculum tailored to your goals.

In the Group Session

Learn and share your experience in a small group with a maximum of five students. You will learn how to construct a new website and will leave the session with a fully functioning site you can maintain yourself.

“Working with Osamu and Zen Ideas is always a pleasure. They give expert guidance and offer thoughtful solutions. Not only have they helped me build the various web sites I manage, they always teach me ways to think through potential opportunities and problems. Like the best trainers, Osamu coaches with humour, intelligence and compassion — and does it promptly and affordably!”

WordPress Session Topics

The learning programs offered by Zen Ideas focus on two sectors: small businesses and non-profit organizations. Both those sectors normally have limited budgets to devote to their Web development and online marketing activities.

Great Instruction! Osamu has a thorough understanding of WordPress and provided very clear instructions that was interesting and tailored to my specific needs. The added bonus was that he also leveraged on his years of business experience and design and integrated this knowledge into the sessions. Not only did I expand my understanding of WordPress, but I was provided invaluable advice with respect to marketing, client engagement, and website design.
