Illuminate WP<\/a> was founded out of passion and necessity. Working as a freelance WordPress developer, Clint Warren<\/a> found that one of the most enjoyable parts of his job was training clients how to use their websites. He also discovered how much he enjoyed presenting information at Meetup.com WordPress groups and helping others. Requests continually came in for stand-alone WordPress training, specifically for beginners. Over time he began to piece together documentation he had been giving clients \u2013 screencasts and written material providing explanations of how to use their site. He finally bit the bullet and decided to get everyone who wants to learn in one place, aiming to provide the most comprehensive WordPress learning experience available. Knowing he wouldn\u2019t be able to realize his dream alone, Clint pieced together a team of amazing individuals, each rockstars in their own fields, to help with all aspects of the business.<\/p>\nCurrently Illuminate offers in person workshops on how to use WordPress and SEO for WordPress.

- No extra software necessary.<\/strong>\u00a0We leverage technology built right into the browser and operating system, beginning with Safari on OS X Mavericks.

Illuminate WP<\/a> was founded out of passion and necessity. Working as a freelance WordPress developer, Clint Warren<\/a> found that one of the most enjoyable parts of his job was training clients how to use their websites. He also discovered how much he enjoyed presenting information at Meetup.com WordPress groups and helping others. Requests continually came in for stand-alone WordPress training, specifically for beginners. Over time he began to piece together documentation he had been giving clients \u2013 screencasts and written material providing explanations of how to use their site. He finally bit the bullet and decided to get everyone who wants to learn in one place, aiming to provide the most comprehensive WordPress learning experience available. Knowing he wouldn\u2019t be able to realize his dream alone, Clint pieced together a team of amazing individuals, each rockstars in their own fields, to help with all aspects of the business.<\/p>\nCurrently Illuminate offers in person workshops on how to use WordPress and SEO for WordPress.
