Why learn here
There's no shortage of tutorials. There's a shortage of complete ones.
I've been building websites since 1999 and publishing tutorials since 2015. In that time I've worked out what actually helps people — and it isn't a five-minute overview.
The short version
- Building websites since 1999
- First tutorial published 3 June 2015
- 1,500+ businesses and students taught
- 4.9 out of 5 across 300 reviews
- Some tutorials run past eight hours
01
Nothing gets skipped
I build in real time, on camera, including the moment something breaks and I have to work out why. That's the part that teaches you the most, and it's the first thing most people edit out.
02
Free, and staying free
Ad revenue, sponsorships and affiliate commissions pay for this work. I chose that in 2015 so I'd never need selling tricks — which is why nothing stops halfway and asks for your card.
03
Rebuilt when the tools change
When Elementor ships a new container model or an AI tool changes how it works, I re-record the tutorial instead of leaving it to rot. A 2022 walkthrough isn't help — it's a trap.
04
Recommendations you can act on
If I wouldn't put a plugin, theme or host on a client's site, it doesn't get a link here — whatever the commission is. That's the only reason a recommendation is worth anything.
From the reviews
1,500 people have built something from these tutorials.
I'd started and abandoned three courses before this. The difference is that Ferdy doesn't skip the boring middle — the part where you're stuck. I launched my shop in a fortnight.

I build sites for clients and I still watch these. He explains why, not just where to click, and that's what makes it transferable to the next project.

Launching a website? Don't fall for these three mistakes
The same three things go wrong on almost every first launch — and all three are avoidable in an afternoon.
Four steps to set goals for your website that you'll actually hit
A short, unsentimental framework for deciding what a website is supposed to achieve before you design it.
The equipment I use to record tutorials (and what I'd skip)
Camera, mic, lights and screen capture — the honest version, including what turned out not to matter.
Ten years of teaching WordPress: what changed and what didn't
The tools moved constantly. The thing that makes a website work barely moved at all.
Common questions
The things people ask before they start.
I've never built a website. Is this actually for me?
Yes — that's who I make these for. The beginner tutorials assume nothing: no code, no design background, no prior WordPress. I show every click, and I explain what each setting does rather than telling you to trust me. If you can use a laptop confidently, you can follow along.
Why is everything free? What's the catch?
There isn't one. Back in 2013 I made a course and couldn't bring myself to sell it the way I was told to, so in 2015 I decided to publish everything free and earn from ad revenue, sponsorships and affiliate commissions instead. Ten years later it works. If you buy hosting or a plugin through one of my links I may earn a commission — which is why I only ever link to things I actually use.
WordPress, or a builder like Wix or Squarespace?
If you want a small site up this weekend and never want to think about it again, a hosted builder is a fine answer. If you want to own your site, move it whenever you like, add anything you can imagine, and not have your costs set by someone else's pricing page — WordPress. It asks a little more of you at the start and gives you far more back later.
Do I need Elementor Pro, or is the free version enough?
The free version is genuinely capable and enough to build a good site. Pro earns its money when you need the theme builder (custom headers, footers, single post and archive templates), forms, popups, or a WooCommerce build. My advice: start free, and upgrade the day you hit a wall you can name.
Can AI just build my whole website now?
It can build a lot of it, and it's getting better fast — I use it every day. What it can't do is know what your business needs, judge whether a layout is actually clear, or notice that your checkout is broken. AI is a very fast pair of hands. You're still the one deciding what gets built.
The Friday email
One email a week. The thing I'd tell you over coffee.
