How to Build a Community Website

Need a community website for your volunteer group, club, church, or other community organization? Are you a curious, hands-on beginner that would like to DIY (do it yourself)?
If so, you’ve come to the right place!
Lynda.com has just released its newest course: WordPress and Genesis DIY: Community Website
What does the Course Cover?
DIY isn’t just about copying/pasting and blindly following instructions. The course will give you the “whys” behind every step, so that you end up with not only a website, but also a better understanding of how to plan and scope a web project.
In a little over an hour, you will learn how to create a website complete with:
custom home page
blog
events calendar
discussion forums
contact and submission forms
and more, of course 🙂
You will learn everything from site planning and finding the right plugins, to installing a new child theme and customizing the appearance of your site to make it match your organization.
This course also requires that you have a copy of the Genesis Framework from StudioPress. While you can use ANY Genesis child theme to build your community site, you will need to pick up a copy of the Education Pro theme if you want to follow along exactly with the course.
