Hello, my name is Peter Jev. I am the creative director of Slush; a web and creative Agency Based in Makurdi Benue State. I have created a lots of websites on wordpress and I've got to say WordPress is a Blessing!

You might have probably seen my threads on here on NL as to selling premium themes or building any kind of website at 5k. Well those offers are REAL and I want to introduce you to the CMS that changed my life.


If you don't know how to code, no problems. You don't need to code to use WordPress. At the end of this tutorial you will learn how to:
1. Set up wordpress, offline
2. Understand the WordPress interface
3. Build a basic blog
And a whole lot of stuff.
For a more concise tutorial like 'How to build an online store' or 'How to build a classified ads site like OLX', contact me via call or whatsapp: 07037534762.
I'll be glad to make a personal tutorial for you, at a token price (Not something that will cut your neck)

I have been invited to events to also come and talk about WordPress and also teach WordPress to coders and non coders. Like the Benue Tech Forum 'Kick Off' Event, held in May 2017.

If you would be holding an event and like for me to come and speak; contact me via call or whatsapp: 07037534762 or mail: peterjev6@gmail.com.



Now let's get to the tutorial... I can't wait to show you this one...

WordPress Has A Gentler Learning Curve Than Joomla
Ease of use is also an important point when choosing the right CMS. WordPress is quite user-friendly. Even if you’re only a beginner without much technical knowledge, you won’t have a tough time building a website on WordPress. Joomla is is not so intuitive an does require some understanding of the fundamentals and is maybe not best suited to novice users.

WordPress Has More Plugins/Extensions Than Joomla
Depending on whether you want to build a static website or a dynamic website, you should also bear in mind the functionality and extensions you may need to use to achieve your goals.
Both WordPress and Joomla come with a number of extensions and plugins that you can use to boost the features and functionality of your website.
Whereas WordPress has its own plugins directory, Joomla too has its own extensions directory. However, Joomla has fewer themes and plugins/extensions available in comparison with WordPress. In fact, WordPress offers twice the number of plugins. Also, Joomla requires more time for installing extensions and many of the best extensions are not free.

WordPress Has More Themes Than Joomla
WordPress has its own theme template directory which features thousands of themes you can use for free. Apart from free WordPress themes, you can also use premium themes available at a nominal fee. It’s quick and easy to install and activate a theme in WordPress.
Joomla on the other hand does not have a special theme template directory. Most of the Joomla templates come from third-party web developers. Many of the Joomla templates are free to use. Joomla templates can be broadly categorized into frontend and backend.
