Questions and answers
If I produce my own Wordpress website do I have to pay ,’Wordpress’ to use their software
Answer:Hi Vanessa Thanks for your interest in our WordPress course. WordPress is free software. We provide you with a free WordPress installation that you can use to complete the course tasks. This is hosted by us for the duration of the course. If you wish to then make your website live to the public you would need to register a domain name and arrange hosting for the website which would cost approx. £5 per month (depending on where you obtain this). More info on the Concise Training website.
