Who trains you

We build and migrate WordPress for real clients, not just in theory.

Most WordPress trainings are run by people who read the docs the night before. At Hack'celeration it's the opposite: light themes, custom post types and ACF, migrations that keep the SEO, security hardening, cache and Core Web Vitals, that's our daily agency work. Everything we teach you, we practice on shipped projects. We know the traps (the migration that breaks the URLs, the outdated plugin that opens a hole) because we've already solved them.

  • We build, migrate and secure WordPress for real clients every week, not just in theory
  • 1-on-1 format: the trainer adapts to your level, beginner or seasoned dev
  • We tell you when WordPress isn't the right call (sometimes a static builder is enough for a brochure site)
  • We start from your real site and your real content model, not a dummy example

What you master

WordPress Training in four pillars, so your site actually performs.

A badly built WordPress means a slow, fragile site, a security risk waiting to go off. Most of the trouble comes from the config and a stack of plugins, not the tool. We pick up your real site and work through the four pillars together.

Certified Hack'celeration trainers

Meet our trainers, leave with a plan.

Drop your email. We get back to you to connect you with a Hack'celeration-certified trainer: we look at your WordPress site, spot what's slowing it down or making it fragile, and tell you where to start. No commitment, even if you don't take the training.

  • A diagnosis of your site (theme, plugins, content model)
  • The first fixes to make, in priority order
  • The right 1-on-1 format for your level and your project
  • An honest take: WordPress or a lighter builder for your case
How it runs

Your WordPress program, step by step.

Five steps, no skipping. Each one on your real site, with a clear deliverable. From the first session we go after what's slowing down or weakening your site. By the end, you run your WordPress and your SEO without us.

  1. Step 1 · Site audit

    We open your real WordPress and spot what's holding it back

    First session, we share your screen and look at your site together. Which plugins are running, and which ones overlap? Does your content model hold up? Where do you lose speed, security or ranking? We list the real reasons your site is slow or fragile. You leave with a clear diagnosis and the list of fixes, in priority order. No theory, your real site.

  2. Step 2 · Clean theme and content

    A light theme and a content model you control

    We tackle the foundations: a light theme (custom or an optimized block theme) instead of a stack of plugins that fight on every update. We model your content with custom post types and ACF, and set up a clean Gutenberg editor so you publish without breaking the layout. If you sell, we set up WooCommerce in the same pass. You finish with a site your editors run on their own.

  3. Step 3 · Migration and SEO

    Migrate without losing your URLs, your traffic or your SEO

    If you're coming from another CMS or builder, we walk through your migration step by step. We map every URL, set up 301 redirects, move content and media, and rebuild the templates so titles, schema and internal links survive. Multilingual and custom fields included. We stage and validate before switching over, so Google sees a clean migration, not a brand-new site to rediscover.

  4. Step 4 · Security and speed

    Harden the install, add cache and pass Core Web Vitals

    We lock down your WordPress: least-privilege roles, protected admin, firewall, malware scan, and automatic backups with a tested restore. Updates to the core, theme and plugins run on staging first. On the speed side, we add page cache and a CDN, optimize images and assets, clean the slow queries, and fix the Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) that tank your templates.

  5. Step 5 · Autonomy

    You run your site and your SEO without us

    The number one goal: you become autonomous. By the end of the program, you know how to build a theme, model your content, migrate while keeping your SEO, harden security and fix speed. We also wire the SEO stack (Yoast or Rank Math, schema, sitemaps) and train you to run it. You no longer need an agency to keep your site running. And if you want to delegate later, we also run a WordPress agency, but that's not the point here.

FAQ · WordPress training

The questions we get the most.

  • What is a 1-on-1 WordPress training?
    An individual program with a WordPress expert, not a class of 100 people. We open your real site, look at your theme, your plugins and your content model, and work through your actual cases: build, WooCommerce, migration, security, speed. You ask your questions live, the trainer adapts the pace to your level. We schedule sessions around your availability, and you leave with concrete actions every time. That's what makes the difference on a tool as broad as WordPress.
  • How much does the WordPress training cost?
    There is no single price. We connect you with a trainer certified by Hack'celeration, matched to your need and your level. It varies from one trainer to another, based on their profile and the format that fits your project.
  • Do I need to be technical to take the WordPress training?
    No, not necessarily. WordPress has a visual interface and the Gutenberg block editor lets you build pages without code. To go further (custom theme, ACF, performance), a bit of technical logic helps, but the 1-on-1 format is built exactly for that: we start from your exact level. Beginner, we go step by step. Seasoned dev, we jump straight to the theme, the content model and optimization. We tailor each session to what you already know.
  • Custom theme or a page builder like Elementor: which one to pick?
    It depends on who runs the site. A page builder like Elementor lets a non-technical team edit freely, but used without care it bloats the page and hurts Core Web Vitals. A light custom or block theme is faster and more maintainable, but takes a bit more technical work for big layout changes. In training we're honest about the trade-off for your team and show you how to set up whichever you pick so it stays fast, rather than pushing the option that bills the most.
  • Can you learn to migrate a site to WordPress without losing SEO?
    Yes, and protecting the ranking is the whole job of a migration. We teach you to map every existing URL, set up 301 redirects to the matching new pages, move content and media, and rebuild the templates so titles, schema and internal links survive. We cover migrations from Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, an old WordPress or a legacy CMS, WooCommerce stores and multilingual content included. We stage and validate before the switch so Google sees a clean migration.
  • How do you make WordPress fast and pass Core Web Vitals?
    Speed on WordPress is mostly what you take out. We cut the plugin bloat, add page cache and a CDN, optimize and lazy-load images, defer or trim blocking assets, and clean the slow queries a heavy theme or builder generates. Then we fix the specific Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) that fail on your templates. You finish with a site that loads fast for your users and gives Google the page-experience signals it rewards.
  • Can you learn to secure a WordPress site?
    Yes, it's one of the big parts of the training. Most hacked WordPress sites fall to an outdated plugin, a weak admin login, or no backups. We teach you to harden the install with least-privilege roles, a locked-down admin, a firewall and a malware scan, and to enforce automatic backups with a tested restore. Updates to the core, theme and plugins run on staging first, so an update never quietly breaks production.
  • Does the training cover WooCommerce and selling online?
    Yes, if that's your need. We set up WooCommerce for real stores: product types and variations, a clean checkout, payment gateways, tax and shipping rules. An ecommerce catalog puts real load on WordPress, so we also cover the cache and performance a store needs to stay fast at scale. We show you how to run your store day to day and wire analytics, so you see what's selling without manual work. We also connect WordPress to Make or n8n through the REST API to automate leads and CRM sync if needed.
  • Is the training online or in person?
    100% online, over video, 1-on-1. You join the sessions from anywhere, we share your screen and your WordPress live. Sessions are recorded if you want to revisit them. The individual format means real interaction: you're not a number in a webinar of 100, the trainer answers your questions about your setup. That's what makes learning concrete on a tool as broad as WordPress.
