WordPress course guide: build websites without coding
By the Hunarzai team. Facts checked 14 November 2026.
The short answer
A WordPress course teaches you to build and run websites with WordPress: buying a domain and hosting, installing WordPress, choosing themes and plugins, designing pages, and keeping the site secure and backed up. You don't need to know coding to start. On Hunarzai a recorded course costs up to PKR 4,999, a hybrid course up to PKR 7,999 and a live course up to PKR 9,999. Hunarzai has a live WordPress course in Urdu that goes from the basics to online stores with WooCommerce.What is WordPress?
WordPress is software for building websites and blogs. You install it on web hosting, then build pages from a dashboard instead of writing code. The WordPress software itself is free to use: wordpress.org says it is released under the GPLv2 (or later) licence. What you pay for is a domain name, hosting, and any premium themes or plugins you choose.
Matlab: WordPress se aap code likhe baghair website bana sakte hain, sirf domain aur hosting ka kharcha hota hai.
What a WordPress course covers
| Part | What you learn |
|---|---|
| Website basics | How a website works, what a domain name and web hosting are |
| Installing WordPress | Setting it up on hosting, or on your own computer for practice |
| The dashboard | Pages, posts, menus, users and settings |
| Themes and plugins | Choosing a design and adding features without code |
| Page builders | Designing pages by drag and drop, for example with Elementor |
| Online stores | Products, orders, shipping and payments with WooCommerce |
| Care and growth | On-page SEO, security, speed and backups |
A good course is practical: you build a real site while you learn, and you finish with something you can show.
Who a WordPress course suits
- Students who want a practical computer skill and a project to show.
- Small business owners who want their own website or online shop without paying someone for every change.
- Beginners who want to take on website work for clients later. Your progress depends on your practice and the work you can show, not on the course alone.
How to choose a WordPress course
- Check the outline. Look for themes, plugins, a page builder, WooCommerce and backups, not only installation.
- Live or recorded. Live classes let you ask questions while you build. Recorded lessons let you go at your own pace.
- Practice. Ask whether you build your own site during the course and get feedback on it.
- Recordings. For live courses, check whether classes are recorded in case you miss one.
