You don't think a self hosted website is better than Issuu.

You have zero interest in learning how to build your own website.

You can create an attractive and fully functioning portfolio website in just a week by committing as little as 30 to 60 minutes a day to this course. Alternatively, you can complete the task with 5 to 7 hours of focused work in one go. The decision is yours to make.
Both WordPress and Elementor (which is the webpage builder we use) are available for free.
However we do use and reference Elementor Pro during the lessons as it has many more advanced features that the free version does not offer.
IMPORTANT! – this is still cheaper than almost all other website building tools.
Both WordPress and Elementor offer a free plan that you can use while following instructions in this course.
Please note that you will need a domain name (if you don’t have one already) and hosting to launch your portfolio site. We recommend getting a hosting plan from SiteGround (full instructions are provided in this course).
No coding skills are necessary to create a responsive, and visually appealing website. With our step-by-step instructions, cloneable and customizable pages, and Elementor’s visual interface, you’ll be guided through the entire process.
