The best decision I have ever made career wise, It's so fulfilling to be a web designer!
yes, one of the best in the online learning platforms
My personal experience is that the course is interesting and educative given the fact that it is always practical.
it was excellent
The best. It provides all details required in navigation of WordPress website building. Thank you elvis
It can't be really explained in this small space. Haha! All I can say is that, one can actually learn a lot after enrolling in Elvi's class. The mode of learning, the way he teaches, the recorded version of every session, I mean if there was another word better than perfection, I bet I could have used to describe how good this web design class was. Thank you Elvis, May Heavens opens more doors for you and bless the good work you are doing. The best reward I will give you for now is a Thank You, and going forward is to showcase the best of my skills that I will proudly stand at the high table and say "If not for Elvis, I couldn't be this good at delivering web design skills". Thank you once again and be blessed.
I have really learned a lot and I will use the earned skills to try and create a page where I can showcase the skills that I have so far.
It's actually awesome. Thank you elvis
Hi Mr.Elvis W. , Its has been a wonderful journey of learning Webdesign using Content Management System using WordPress. You have been a great tutor. Before i had learnt Webdesign under a certain tutor but when i compare your class with the previous, your class was way too good. You delved about Website design using WordPress as a CMS and you dived deep into the core. Apart from Webdesign i learnt a lot from the life tid bits you shared among the copy content you shared with us. Be blessed abundantly and may God continue giving you wisdom and good life to continue imparting knowledge in terms of skills and personal growth. I have gained a skill and my life is no longer the same. I will continue practising to be better since its said,''for you to master something you have to do it for atleast 10hours.''
great learning experience, looking forward of what to come next
This was really insightful.
This was an eye-opening experience with different ideas being shared among the members.
My greatest take from this, you can do anything if you set your mind to it.Nothing is impossible.
