Building a Community of Web Creators: Highlights from Our WordPress Online Training
Last weekend, we brought together aspiring developers, freelancers, and passionate learners for a free online WordPress Training Session aimed at growing a strong, connected tech community. Whether you were just getting started with web development or brushing up on your skills, the session offered the perfect environment to learn, build, and collaborate.
Why We Hosted This Training
At Virtual Bears, we believe that learning should be accessible, practical, and community-driven.
This initiative was part of our ongoing effort to empower individuals who want to explore the world of web development, especially those looking for a first step or a refresher course.
We envisioned this session not only as a training ground but also as the start of future collaborations and real-world project opportunities.
What We Covered
The training was hands-on and interactive, with a focus on real-world applications using WordPress and Elementor, a user-friendly drag-and-drop page builder.
Here’s a rundown of the key topics we covered:
Installing and Setting Up WordPress
From hosting basics to navigating the dashboard
Introduction to Elementor
Exploring its tools, widgets, and interface
Creating a Hero Section
Designing an eye-catching intro with headings, buttons, and images
Inserting & Styling Images
Uploading, resizing, and placing media to bring content to life
Customizing Layouts
Using columns and spacing for responsive design
Live Q&A and Troubleshooting
Participants asked questions in real-time and got guided help
Participants left the session with a working webpage and a deeper understanding of how to use Elementor effectively for professional-looking results.
The Community We’re Building
More than just a one-time event, this training served as a launchpad to build a growing community of web creators.
Many attendees expressed interest in continuing to learn, collaborate on projects, and even start offering freelance services using WordPress.
Our vision is to support this momentum by creating a space where community members can share resources, work on group projects, and find mentorship.
What’s Next?
This is only the beginning. We're planning more sessions focused on WordPress, advanced Elementor techniques, and even custom development topics. Eventually, we aim to connect our community members to real clients and project opportunities so they can apply their skills and grow professionally.
Final Thoughts
We’re grateful for everyone who participated and contributed to the lively, supportive environment. It’s exciting to witness new developers gain confidence, experiment with their ideas, and take that all-important first step.
