Excelente para aprender wordpress. Había estado perdiendo el tiempo buscando tutoriales por todos lados y al final llegué a este curso. En un fin de semana comencé la maquetación de mi pagina web. Faltan otras cosas que no son parte de este curso, pero te da bases sólidas y te muestra por dónde continuar con el aprendizaje.

Me lo tuve que ver varias veces porque no era capaza de asumir de una toda la información. Recomiendo seguir el curso de forma práctica, y repetir una y otra vez el proceso, especialmente el del editor de bloques y el de los widgets. Me sirvió para salir de un apuro y aprender rápido WordPress, y a día de hoy es la solución más eficaz para los clientes que necesitan una web basada en CMO.
