It was really great meeting you yesterday. Wow! You really opened my eyes to a lot of things. I really appreciate your great suggestions and patience. I went to my office right away to plot out my next moves.

I got a lot more out of this training than with most online classes I’ve experienced. Adria doesn’t just guide you through the steps of creating a site, she tells you what the steps mean, so you feel more confident in the skills you take away from the class. She really is about empowering her students, not just setting up their sites for them.

I just want to thank you for helping me with my problem with the flash file I was dealing with. I knew that you would have the answer to the WordPress problem I was facing and I also know that you were only a Direct Twitter Message away. Thanks so much for your quick expert response. You save me so much time!

I just wanted to add that I came across your site on a Joomla vs WordPress search a month or so ago. I have become a big fan of yours because you whether you know it or not, you are truly a rare gem in the IT business. Your wealth of knowledge, your honesty, and product agnostic approach to technology is amazing. I especially appreciate all of the content and insights you are willing to share from your experience and the enthusiasm you bring to your presentations.

“I am thoroughly enjoying my beginner’s WordPress course with Freshworkshops. Adria has designed a course that is no-nonsense and empowering at the same time! The course teaches you both the WordPress platform itself, and (maybe more important) the workflow required to establish a basic web presence. She seems prepared for any question / situation that techies or newbies could create during the class. Smart, focused, patient, and, well, pretty much un-flappable during a very intense two-hour session, I highly recommend!”
– Daniel Shorter, Software Developer and Personal Technology Training Client
“She is “techie” to the max. She knows her stuff, but she speaks English and has a certain amount of respect for those she is speaking to. Many techies do not. They overwhelm their audience with tech lingo and do not communicate. Not Adria, she is good at making technical concepts understandable and organizing the material. Do I recommend Adria’s workshops to anyone who is wanting to learn more about technology? Absolutely! I didn’t have a clue about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or CMS (Content Management Systems) but now I feel quite confident about these subjects.”

“While I have worked with a few WordPress installs already, this workshop gave me the opportunity to ask questions and get instant feedback. Adria does a great job of answering questions and showing what is possible.”

“The course lived up to its name in that it taught me how to install Joomla! from scratch. I installed Joomla!”
