In this series Chris Freeman will take you step-by-step though the process of rebuilding and optimizing an existing website in WPOptimal. The training is broken down into easy to digest, section relevant videos, diving into what to look out for and what to be aware of when making key decisions on your rebuild.

This in-depth training will not only save you time and effort by offering you best-practice advice for streamlining your rebuild(s), it will also help you maximize the performance of the website, on all levels, as you progress.

TIP: As “over-the-shoulder” training usually works best with “hands-on” experience, we recommend you set up a development site and rebuild a copy of one of your own sites as you progress through the training. Once you are finished, you will not only have learned how to build a fully-optimized website – you’ll already have done it! ;o)
