Why Awesome Tech Training?
There are plenty of free tutorials online — but they’re often out of date, incomplete, or assume a level of technical knowledge that just isn’t realistic for most small business owners. Our training is different.
-
Decades of experience — Each of us has worked in digital marketing and web development for over 25 years. Lorna's a marketing practitioner who has learned WordPress 'on the job' just as many of our attendees have to, whilst Steve is a developer who has seen every kind of WordPress problem there is, so you benefit from practical solutions that really work.
-
Real-world focus — We don’t just teach theory. Everything we share comes from our own day-to-day experience of running websites and marketing campaigns, both for our clients and for ourselves.
-
Interactive and tailored — You'll be able to see us, hear us and talk to us during the session. You can ask questions live, get feedback on your specific challenges and leave with advice that’s relevant to your business.
-
Trusted by thousands — More than 5,000 people have attended our webinars and training sessions. Many come back for more once they’ve seen how accessible and practical our approach is.
-
Affordable and empowering — Our sessions are designed for small organisations that want to take control of their own marketing, without expensive consultants or agencies.
When you train with us, you’re not just watching a video — you’re learning from experienced practitioners who know what works, what doesn’t, and how to help you avoid costly mistakes.
