Course Intro — Module 1-1 — Building a WordPress Classic Theme with Pinegrow

Have you ever considered creating your own WordPress theme but found the process daunting? Maybe you’ve used page builders in the past but are frustrated by the constant updates, patches, bugs, and limitations.

In this mini-course, we’ll build a native WordPress theme from start to finish with no code using Pinegrow’s WordPress Builder. By the end of this course, you’ll have a minimal WordPress theme that you can style, customize, reuse, and redistribute to your clients. With no page builder or other dependencies!

📝Note: I'm not affiliated with Pinegrow in any way. I'm just a happy, paying customer who wants to see the product continue to grow and thrive, and to help build a more active community around it.
