If you’ve ever tried to build or manage a WordPress site on your own and felt completely overwhelmed, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, staring with plugins, trying to customise themes, wondering why something’s broken or how to fix it. That’s exactly why I created WP Odyssey: to guide people through the WordPress journey step by step, with real support and no fluff. The way I wish I had been able to learn when I started my journey with WordPress back in 2010.
Before launching the full WP Odyssey experience, I ran a live 10-day workshop to see what would happen if I gave beginners and freelancers my best training, tools, and time. The results spoke for themselves.
Here’s what a few of the participants had to say:
“I’m so much more confident now.”
Debbie – Virtual Assistant
“As a VA, I often work in the back-end of clients’ websites, uploading blogs, updating plugins, and doing backups and now I feel way more confident doing it. I can even suggest fixes when I spot something wrong. Dan’s teaching style is so easy to follow, and the course was laid out brilliantly.”
“I had no idea how to set up a store… now I do.”
James – Freelancer
“I tried setting up an online store on my own and failed miserably. Dan walked us through it step by step and made it simple. He doesn’t just explain things, he shows you, visually. His knowledge of WordPress is massive, and his teaching style is clear, detailed, and hands-on. I got way more out of the 10 days than I expected.”
“No gatekeeping. Just real support.”
Paul – Beginner
“I’m completely new to WordPress, but Dan made me feel part of something. He didn’t hold anything back. We learned powerful tools like ACF and Manage WP, and he showed us how to actually use them. I loved how adaptable the training was, and how Dan took time to answer my questions, even the basic ones with patience and clarity.”
These reviews came from my original 10-day workshop, the early version of what’s now evolved into WP Odyssey.
Since then, I’ve taken everything that worked, the tools, the support, the step by step clarity and built it into a full course and community that helps beginners become confident WordPress users, help freelancers earn recurring income, and business owners to take control of their sites without relying on expensive developers.
If you’ve booked a free strategy session with me, now you know exactly what to expect:
No fluff. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and how to build something that lasts.
Looking forward to meeting you on the call.
