Build a Website for Free: Rayong WordPress Workshop

Free WordPress Workshop in Rayong (Zero to Local Site)

Table of Contents

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about running a completely free, hands-on workshop in Rayong for anyone who wants to learn how to build a website from scratch.

We will be using LocalWP, meaning you can build and practice entirely on your own laptop for free—no need to buy hosting or a domain upfront.
I have put the link above so you can download it first.

  • Language: The workshop and software will be in English (so a good command of English is required).
  • Cost: 100% Free.
  • Who it’s for: Beginners, local business owners, bloggers, or anyone wanting a new digital skill.

What to Expect at the Free WordPress Workshop in Rayong

Learn for Free: I will show you how to create and edit a website or blog using 100% free software.

No Upfront Costs: There is absolutely no need to buy a domain name or a .com address to get started.

Future Steps: If you decide you want to take your site live later on, I can help you sign up for a web host and secure your own domain when you’re ready.

Seeking Expressions of Interest

I’m just testing the waters right now.
If you’d be interested in attending a weekend session in Mueang Rayong / beach area, drop a comment below or send me a DM so I can gauge numbers and look into a venue!
