Check out what my students have had to say about my WordPress training:

I nearly cried when the lessons you taught me in your Advanced WordPress class worked. I was terrified to make any changes to the stylesheets for my theme.  I wasn’t even able to find them. After attending your 2-day class, I gained the courage to at least search for them, download them into FrontPage, find the pieces to edit, upload back into my FTP, and view my changes. Wow! Thank you for your 30-minute consult and valuable handouts. You have helped me to improve the professional feel of my new site.

I went to Aletha for some training on a technical platform. She was thorough, taught in a simple, no nonsense way that was understandable for tech geeks and non-tech geeks alike! I was able to follow her directions to the “T” with success. She was patient with any questions I asked and provided wonderful tips so I was as efficient as possible and not wasting time learning things I didn’t need to know to get the job done. I would highly recommend Aletha McManama’s courses and private training – she’s THE resource I turn to for all things WordPress.

Before I starting working with Aletha for private training – I would waste countless hours trying to search the web to figure out how to do things. Then, when I would find instructions, the end result of what I implemented never looked like it was supposed to. It was a mess and very frustrating. I was wasting my time and money attempting to train myself on several things, including WordPress, that I wasn’t an expert on. It just didn’t make any sense. It was time to delegate to an expert.

When I found out that Aletha did private training – I was so thrilled and relieved. She works with me at my own pace while training and is very patient. If I don’t understand something, she will take the time to explain it in a different way or repeat the instructions. She is an excellent trainer and very responsive to my needs. Now that I work with Aletha for private training on WordPress – I am able to save more money and countless hours of time trying to figure things out on my own. She has been a lifesaver and is a dependable, refreshing resource for my business.

Before I worked with Aletha, my blogsite was in pieces. I chose her because of her experience with WordPress. Not only did she fix the problems with my blog, I also took several of her WordPress training classes. Each training thoroughly covered the information for that class. There was time for questions as well as options for on-going support. Because of Aletha’s classes and help, I feel good about my site and enjoy blogging.

I could not get WordPress installed on my site, the way other trainings and literature had suggested was so easy. I was very frustrated, but Aletha walked me through the process without hesitation. She responded to my needs in no time at all. No one had ever explained to me how WordPress worked that clearly and precisely before.

At first, I suggested to Aletha, that I start in a “Kindergarten” Class; instead of the “Beginner” Class she offered. But she brought me up-to speed during all three classes, in no time!

I received valuable information, in a format and a training-style that was easy for a novice to understand and apply. Aletha is a most caring coach and trainer. She gave me the value of expert instructions; with authentic feeling. The way she explained things was excellent! Her follow-up with her students was beyond superb! Aletha’s style and grace was apparent all through the trainings.

Before taking Aletha’s BACK TO SCHOOL Intermediate WordPress training classes, my challenge was learning how to set up my WordPress site and learning all the tools available.

I learned how to apply my lessons to my page and have received compliments since then. The value I received is an instructor that had taken the time to go over the lesson with me in a patient manner until I understood what I was doing and that is priceless to me. And Aletha did just that!

Aletha is a WordPress genius! She knows this platform in and out and is a wonderful and generous teacher. She is always ready with a pleasant manner, a solution and keeps up to date on the ever changing landscape of social media. I am so impressed with the growth of Aletha’s business in such a short period of time. It’s inspirational how she found something that she loves to do and has so quickly and successfully redirected her business.

Aletha McManama is a WordPress genius! I knew nothing about WordPress or how it worked, but after a few short weeks of thorough training with Aletha’s “WordPress to Website” course, I went from making simple updates on websites, to creating an entire website from scratch. Aletha knows the ins and outs of WordPress and crucial tips that you won’t get from generic online tutorials. I have never been able to stump her with my questions and truly believe she is the best WordPress resource out there!
