Dave Foy – No Stress WordPress 2.0
“Dave is my go-to when I need to learn anything about WordPress. He makes it simple and fun. If only Dave was around when I first started out, he would have saved me years of frustration. I highly recommend him.”
Troy Dean

“Dave is a truly brilliant online educator, and a rare one at that. His advice comes from a rich mix of design and marketing skills he’s accumulated over the last 20 years. He’s unmatched by anyone else.”
Ben Pines
Elementor
“The sheer quality of Dave’s content, how his courses are organized and delivered, and his natural teaching style have raised the bar for me. There is no-one like him in the WordPress education space.”

There’s nothing more terrifying or frustrating than saying “yes” to a client brief that you’re not entirely sure you can fulfil.
If you’re anything like many of my students, you got started with web design because you wanted to be creative and build a lucrative business in the process.
With Elementor Pro as your tool of choice, you saw yourself designing fully functional, highly responsive websites and creating seamless user experiences on behalf of your clients.
Only, things aren’t quite shaping up that way right now.
While Elementor might feel like a breeze, you’re feeling frustrated and held back from producing the standard of website you know you’re capable of delivering.
Instead of going to bed at the same time as your partner, you’re regularly up until the early hours trawling through free tutorials and YouTube videos trying to piece together a solution to your problem, without much success.
If that wasn’t already enough, the gaps in your WordPress knowledge are keeping you up all night.
Meanwhile, your family and friends can’t remember the last time you said “yes” to anything or didn’t cancel plans at short notice because you’re always chasing a deadline.
Here’s what I want you to know….
When it comes to building a web design career that’s both lucrative and fulfilling… there’s a much easier way.
I’m Dave Foy, and I’m about to show you how to build WordPress websites up to 10x faster, with zero confusion and maximum confidence.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved helping people.
Fun fact: I’m actually a qualified teacher.
For 10 years, I taught 5-11 year olds in the UK so I know a thing or two about breaking down tough-to-grasp concepts in ways that literally anyone can understand.
22 years ago, I built my very first website – yikes! In 2003 I turned pro and I now have 17+ years experience building and coding websites and working with non-coder designers.
In recent years I’ve seen designers drawn to the new crop of drag-n-drop page builders like Elementor. I also noticed they were STILL struggling to build FULL websites and it was obvious why.
So I decided to combine my passions for teaching and WordPress and create the ultimate course to get you unstuck – fast.
Introducing…
No Stress WordPress 2.0
No Stress WordPress 2.0 is an online course for ambitious Elementor designers like you, who are ready to learn how to build websites quickly and more profitably than ever before.
Completely up-to-date and remade from scratch.
Elementor is amazing. But alas, it’s not a magic bullet. It’s still part of WordPress and you still need a solid process and framework to deliver a fully functional, responsive WP site.
This is exactly what No Stress WordPress 2.0 will give you — a solid foundation that will enable you to unleash the true capabilities of Elementor. And I’ll be with you as your guide, every step of the way.
No Stress WordPress 2.0 is a series of bite-sized, engaging video lessons that layer on top of each other to create a logical progression for you, a non-coder Elementor Pro user.
Watch over my shoulder as we create rock-solid, fully functional WordPress websites using this best-practice workflow that literally anyone can follow.
Along the way, you’ll find the solutions to the core WordPress conundrums that, up until now, have been blocking your progress.
As an educator first and foremost, I believe in the “teach a man to fish” principle. I want to give you all the tools and understanding you’ll need to be able to APPLY what you learn to all your projects in future.

“This course is changing my life possibilities”
“I had a lack of confidence that I could design what my clients wanted, so I still needed to bring in other people to do simple things.
I now feel I am in control of my projects! I work much faster and I have already made 3 client websites with 100% positive client feedback.
I definitely recommend this course to all non-coder designers out there struggling with web design. It’s changing my life possibilities.
And don’t miss the benefits of being a part of the FB group, you always feel somebody got your back 24/7 _x0001F642_”

“You don’t realise what you don’t know till you see for yourself!”
“When I was considering enrolling I thought to myself, “What can this course teach me? I already know my way around WordPress.”
The thing that gave me the final push was all the comments from seasoned WP users, raving about how much they’d learned. Of course, No Stress WordPress proved to me that my knowledge was ridiculously inadequate.
It’s true what they say: You don’t realise what you don’t know until you get inside No Stress WordPress and see for yourself!”

“Saved up to 50% in development time on each project”
“I’ve worked with WP for 5 years but didn’t realize I had all the bad habits and misunderstandings, so I was always hitting brick walls.
After Dave’s course, the fog has lifted, making life so much easier.
My workflow is now super streamlined. That’s the single biggest improvement by far. I have probably saved up to 50% in development time on each project since doing this course.
Can’t recommend Dave’s course highly enough.“

Say hello to fast, stress-free web builds from here on in.
Enrol In No Stress WordPress 2.0 Today
Here’s what we’ll be covering in each module…
Module 1
The Set Up
Most self-taught WordPress users only know what they know (and don’t know what they don’t know) which is often most notable when it comes to these essential set-up steps.
We’ll begin by quickly installing and preparing WordPress from the starter site, and setting up Elementor for the smoothest, most efficient workflow.
You’ll then learn the optimal way to add a logo while avoiding common pitfalls, and how to set consistent brand styles for the entire site in one fell swoop.
Say hello to faster and more profitable web builds from here on in!
Module 2
The Framework
In this module, we build the main frame of your website—nav menu, header, and footer.
Using Elementor Pro’s theme builder, you’ll learn heaps of clever, time-saving tips and tricks that you can carry with you into all future builds.
Learn exactly what your theme does, and why you need one.
THE biggest cause of roadblocks I see is not understanding what theme templates are, how they interact with Elementor, and the difference between theme templates and Elementor templates. Prepare to unlock the key to faster, smoother web builds.
Module 3
Layout System
I’ve been building websites for 22 years but it wasn’t until recently that I developed a simple, straightforward system for consistently creating aesthetically pleasing layouts—even if you’re not a professional designer.
Before you can confidently use the layout system, you’ll first need to understand a fundamental aspect of how Elementor creates layouts, and the method it uses to create gaps between columns.
With this understanding clear in your mind, you’ll then be free to implement my step-by-step, foolproof layout system for creating beautifully aligned, aesthetically pleasing layouts that look great every time.
Module 4
Standalone Content
There are two types of content that you can develop in WordPress: standalone content and template-driven content. In this module we establish the former.
You’ll learn how to create a hero header with full width image and high-contrast text overlays…
Before learning how all the rules change when you add background colours to columns (you could lose days figuring this quirk out!)
We’ll also take a look at more complex layouts that call for nested sections, and you’ll pick up valuable time-saving tips that’ll allow you to race through development with the help of global widgets.
Finally, we’ll look at call to action sections, review the differences between standalone templates and master editable templates, and how to build both in Elementor.
Module 5
Template-Driven Content
In module five we take a closer look at template-driven content.
You’ll discover what it is, when to use it, how it can make future maintenance massively quicker, and, crucially, how it can stop clients from breaking your designs.
By the end of this module you’ll know how to create single page templates, single post templates, post archive templates, and alternative template designs for every situation you can think of.
Module 6
The Next Level
By this point, you’ll have a super-solid foundation and the ability to build beautiful, dynamic websites quickly and profitably. In module 6, what you learn will take your websites to a whole new level.
You’ll learn how to use custom post types, custom fields custom taxonomies, and hooks, to deliver all kinds of potentially complex requirements, your client could ask for, and with total confidence.
Module 7
Go Live
In this, the final module, you’ll learn the essential tricks for managing and maintaining plugins for the fewest headaches in future.
Discover how to easily rescue your site from dreaded plugin update disasters!
I’ll show you how to properly manage adding users to your WordPress sites, to ensure they can only see and do what YOU want them to.
Finally, you’ll learn the best and easiest way to make your sites live, without destroying your client’s search engine rankings (yes, it happens ALL the time).

Learning how to build in WordPress is one thing – actually doing it well and at speed is quite another.

As an experienced teacher and web designer, I know there are 3 things that I can provide to give you an even more amazing experience:
Bonus 1
Private Facebook Community
Complimentary access to the No Stress WordPress Private Facebook Community.
Whether you’re a freelancer or small business owner there’s one thing I know for sure — it’s hard to create in a vacuum.
Of course, your clients are there to provide feedback and approval on your designs… but you can’t exactly go to them for answers to questions like “Why do I need a theme?”, or “Should I use a custom post type?” can you?
When these types of questions arise and the imposter syndrome kicks in, pop into the group and ask for help.
It’s a super-friendly group of awesome human beings from all over the world, who are ready and waiting to welcome you and be your sounding board. I’m in there on a daily basis, reading and personally responding to every comment and question.
I love this group and I already know that you’ll love it too!
Bonus 3
The Perfect Starter Site 2.0
The essential precursor to No Stress WordPress.
Web designers are always asking me for ways to build faster and use their time more efficiently.
My advice?
If you don’t already have one, make building your own WordPress Starter Site your highest priority.
Having your theme, WordPress settings and plugins pre-configured in a working template, will give you a significant head start in every WordPress project that you subsequently develop.
I want you to be running your business in the most productive and most profitable way possible, which is why when you enrol in No Stress WordPress, you’ll also receive access to the prequel course, The Perfect Starter Site 2.0.
With this 2-hour course in your back pocket, suddenly everything will make sense! It’s essential.

No Fluff or filler!
Just highly actionable, best practice strategies that are proven to help you work smarter, not harder.
There’s nothing I love more than to see the students I teach developing high-quality websites faster, more profitably and more expediently than ever before. As a web designer myself, I know better than anyone that you don’t have time to waste.
That’s why most watch-over-my-shoulder lessons inside No Stress WordPress 2.0 is between 10-20 minutes long and gets to the point, fast.

“Enrolling in this course should be a complete no brainer!”
“I’d been dabbling at WordPress sites on my own but knew that I didn’t really have my head around the whole site structure thing.
And I had LOTS of questions.
How do headers, footers, nav bars all fit together to make a coherent site? What’s the best theme and page builder to use? Which plugins should I choose? How do I speed up a slow site etc?
I wanted to gain a solid understanding of WordPress and how to use it, and know I was receiving the most up-to-date information. I was also thinking a support group might be helpful, too.
I found everything I was looking for inside No Stress WordPress 2.0. Enrolling in this course should be a complete no brainer!”

“It’s like Dave is there with you, one-on-one, leading you through the process”
“I thought I could figure out WordPress on my own. Not so. Not like I have learned from Dave. I’ve learned about pieces of WordPress that I was not even aware of, some very critical pieces too.
Besides the content and the fullness of the course, Dave’s teaching style is the best I have ever experienced. It is almost like he is there, one on one with you, leading you through the learning process.
Without any hesitation, I recommend Dave’s course. Certainly for beginners but also as a complete reminder to those who may feel they already know it all.”

“Everything you need to feel confident using WordPress”
“I’m a designer with limited web design and coding experience. I was lost in a sea of conflicting and outdated information.
This course covers everything you will need to feel confident using WordPress to design websites. Dave is a phenomenal teacher, and his teaching style is tailored to those of us that don’t understand the technical jargon.
Dave is incredibly helpful and accessible when you have questions. Being able to participate in the discussions on the Facebook group is one of the best things Dave included in this course.”

Here’s everything you’ll receive when you enroll in No Stress WordPress
No Stress WordPress 2.0 Online Course
Seven easy to implement, highly actionable video modules that will help you navigate your WordPress tech hurdles and free you up to be as creative as possible when using Elementor.
Facebook Community
Complementary access to the No Stress WordPress Private Facebook Community. My students tell me membership to this community is worth as much — if not more — than the investment for No Stress WordPress alone!
Plus these awesome bonuses…
The Perfect Starter Site 2.0 ($197 Value)
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again…
Having your theme, WordPress settings and plugins pre-configured in a working template, will give you a significant head start in every WordPress project that you subsequently develop.
In this bonus prequel course, you’ll learn how to set up your very own starter site and how to clone it so you’ll never have to start a new project from scratch ever again.
4 modules. 2 hours of training. And no stone left unturned –I promise!
DNS & Domains Demystified ($97 Value)
I know from firsthand experience that messing with domain names and DNS can be fraught with difficulties.
There’s nothing worse than receiving a panicked call from a client saying their website and/or email is down when you thought you’d done everything right.
In this special bonus module, you’ll learn my best practice tips for buying, pointing and repointing domain names, how to NOT break your clients’ email service and I’ll also answer one of the most popular questions I receive:
Should I include www in a website address or not? and explain the impact it can have on the site’s SEO.
Actionable Tips For Better Designs ($67 Value)
Practically every student who’s ever enrolled in No Stress WordPress has had a design-related question at one point or another. And while I consider myself to have a good eye for design, I know I can add way more value when it comes to the tech side of building websites.
This 80-minute presentation oozes straightforward, actionable tips and tricks for choosing font pairings, weights, and sizes, constructing colour palettes, achieving the optimal layout, and creating a seamless user experience.
The 10-Minute CSS Crash Course ($47 Value)
I’m not exaggerating when I say, a little CSS knowledge goes a long long way!
This lesson is designed to help you read and understand CSS a little better and give you just enough knowledge as a non-coder to understand what’s going on when you’re using visual CSS tools like Microthemer to effectively target and style page elements.
Style Kits Masterclass With John Fraskos ($47 Value)
In No Stress WordPress, I teach you to set as many global brand styles as you can, right at the start. Elementor’s new Theme Style feature now helps with this, but it only just scratches the surface.
That’s where Style Kits comes in.
Style Kits is a fantastic FREE add-on plugin for Elementor, which extends the functionality of Theme Style in so many incredible ways, from implementing consistent styling and typography, to setting colours at a much deeper level.
Plus it makes it SO easy to create and maintain the Module 3 Layout System of section and column paddings.
I think of it as the missing piece of the web design puzzle. It’s a powerful tool to seriously speed up your website development with Elementor.
John Fraskos, the creator of Style Kits demonstrates the true power of this incredible plugin in this bonus masterclass, and he’s offering an exclusive discount to Style Kits Pro, just for NSWP students who invest before June 1, 2020.
And of Course…
Access to all training materials including any future updates and bonus materials for the lifetime of the course, all housed in a secure online portal, which you can access via your desktop or mobile device.
