\u201cBuild A Website in 30 Minutes\u201d<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>portfolio site is part of the\u00a0A1 Resource WP Network Portfolio.<\/strong>\u00a0The A1 Resource Network Portfolio is an\u00a0UNOFFICIAL<\/strong>\u00a0site created by a student to demonstrate Udemy course results.<\/em><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE COURSE<\/h5>\n

The portfolio site \u201c30 Minute WordPress<\/a>\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>was built using the\u00a0instructions<\/em>\u00a0given in the online Udemy Course called \u201cBuild A Website in 30 Minute<\/a>s\u201d by Justin Nifong.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0In this fast pace course, the instructor quickly steps you though creating a\u00a0WordPress<\/a>\u00a0site with helpful tips and techniques. He demonstrates buying hosting and a domain name through\u00a0A Small Orange<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>hosting company.\u00a0 The course has 31 minutes of video and 12 lectures.\u00a0 It took about 2 hours for me to complete the course. To be fair, it could have been shorter, but I spent some time organizing website photos and so forth \u2013 not a part of this course.<\/p>\n

HOSTING AND DOMAIN VARIATION<\/h5>\n

Having created other\u00a0WordPress<\/a>\u00a0sites, rather than purchase additional hosting and a domain name, I went to my new hosting company (HostGator<\/a>). I created a folder under my current domain name.\u00a0 Thus, this \u201c30 Minute WordPress\u00a0Site<\/a>\u201c<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0was created in my\u00a0A1Resource.net\u2019s<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0\u201c\/public_html\/portfolio\/30min\u201d folder. I used \u00a0the\u00a0FireFox<\/a>\u00a0FireFTP\u00a0<\/a>add-on for FTP to access the hosting directory and to create the \u201c30min\u201d subdirectory. Creating the subdirectory prior to installing WordPress<\/a> may not be necessary. \u00a0Chrome<\/a>\u00a0web browser works well for viewing\u00a0Udemy<\/a>\u00a0courses and creating websites.<\/p>\n

WORDPRESS<\/a> INSTALL<\/h5>\n

To install WordPress<\/a>, I used\u00a0<\/strong>HostGator\u2019s<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>C-panel<\/strong>\u00a0QuickInstall<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>to create a free WordPress<\/a> site. \u00a0It took less than a minute to install WordPress<\/a> using QuickInstall. Upon completing the install my login credentials appeared immediately at the top of the browser.<\/p>\n

THEME SELECTION AND PLUG-INS<\/h5>\n

After leading us through logging in, installing and activating, the\u00a0Zerif Lite<\/a>\u00a0theme,\u00a0 Justin quickly demonstrated creating two pages (About and Contact) and adding them to the menu. We learned how to use\u00a0Contact Form 7<\/a>\u00a0to include a message panel so customers can send email directly from the website. Although it increased the course completion time, I added the\u00a0TinyMCE<\/a>\u00a0plug-in, not mentioned in this course, to make the WordPress<\/a> editor a bit more full-fledged.<\/p>\n

ADDING CONTENT<\/h5>\n

The last demonstration was on adding posts. \u00a0As in many courses, the instructor added\u00a0Lorem\u00a0Ipsum<\/a>\u00a0text for the example. Creating this post(page) alone took additional time beyond the 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

SUMMARY<\/h5>\n

You can build the basic WordPress<\/a> site quickly as demonstrated by this example portfolio\u00a0\u201c30 Minute WordPress Site<\/a><\/strong>\u201d (http:\/\/a1resource.net\/portfolio\/30min<\/a>\/). Justin\u2019s WordPress<\/a> example site is:\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/aeasysite.com\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Plans for additional sites while taking\u00a0Udemy\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0many other WordPress<\/a> courses are in the works. \u00a0Expect updates to\u00a0A1 Resource\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0portfolio. The portfolio will track student progress while learning and utilizing the many features of WordPress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

*Update: \u00a0Sept 2017 – Unfortunately, Justin’s example site is no longer available as the http:\/\/aeasysite.com<\/a>\/ domain is for sale:<\/p>\n

However, you can still enroll in his course in 2017 but the last update was in 2015 and there are no recent questions and answers.<\/p>\n

\"Build
Build A Website in 30 Minutes 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lag:<\/strong> \u00a0At the time of the course, with three WordPress<\/a> installs but only a couple of pages on the\u00a030 Minute WordPress<\/a><\/strong> site, WordPress<\/a> at HostGator became\u00a0extremely slow. Perhaps, a multisite WordPress<\/a> install would be a better option than single installs in different subdirectories.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: \u00a0This course was free during a promotion in November through my highly recommended Udemy coupon website:\u00a0\u00a0PromoCoupons24.com\u00a0<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Caveat regarding the site\u2019s appearance: \u00a0At the end of the course videos, except for modifying the review article, site updates stopped. Thus the\u00a0Zerif Lite<\/a>\u00a0theme default settings and photos remain. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014-<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong> January 18, 2016<\/em>: \u00a0WordPress<\/a> sites created after “Build A Website in 30 Minutes”<\/strong> are now built on an A1 Resource WP Network<\/strong> multisite WordPress<\/a> structure using the hosting provided by HostGator. \u00a0Edit times are much quicker. It may have been a one day glitch that caused the initial slowdown. However, using WordPress<\/a> multisite may work best for a portfolio website.<\/p>\n
