Hey Steph --

luv, Luv, LUV this tutorial !!! Very Useful information and Extremely Helpful -- I just made 3 months with WA -- have been stuck @ Course 1, Lesson 4 since the 2nd week of joining -- creating my website. I'm not tech-savvy or tech-passionate, so I'm not exactly motivated to go on...

However, I am excited and passionate about getting my own business up and running, which is what DOES motivate me -- if I could afford it, I'd hire someone to do all this techno stuff for me, but that is simply not the case. As I develop and build my business, I am confident my sales experience will come in handy...

As a matter of fact, my sales experience helped me realize the importance of choosing a Mobile-Friendly Design, so of course, browsing through the 2,000+ themes became a daunting task in and of itself; but this Tutorial gave me a sense of clarity, and a bit of motivation to get back to the Lessons and work on my website.

In between my sign-up date and now, 2 things have happened that has made 'procrastination' of continuing the Courses/Lessons, beneficial to my situation -- 1) WA now has a one-stop-shop deal by offering the option to purchase a domain via WA; and 2) I've come across this Tutorial re: Mobile-Friendly Design -- I repeat: Very Useful Information and Extremely Helpful --

Really appreciate this Tutorial Steph !

Mahalo,
Holly

Hi Holly:

Thank you for the kind words. I am really glad this tutorial came at a good time for you. I do know what you mean by the selection of choosing a theme from the thousands that are there. My recommendation is to use the link I provided on page 4 that have the different themes that WordPress has which are mobile-friendly.

I went through several themes before I found one I liked for my WA site. It took me at least 6 or 7 themes before I found one that has worked so far.

Please let me know if you need anymore help.

Steph

Really useful training - I did pick a mobile theme when I started out (warned to do so by my daughter). However, I used both the free tests you recommended and my site passed them both. YAY!
