Improving the security of your WordPress site
WordPress sites can be particularly vulnerable because WordPress is so widely used, so hackers put a great deal of effort into uncovering methods of breaking into them. With that in mind we’ve put together this webinar specifically focusing on how owners of WordPress sites can improve the security of their sites.
Pick a date and book your placeYour website is one of your organisation’s most valuable assets so it’s vitally important that you make sure it’s secure. The consequences of a site breach can be extremely serious in terms of damage to your reputation, potential loss of your customers’ data and loss of access to your most valuable marketing tool.Â
Many business owners wrongly think that site security isn’t something they need to worry too much about because their sites are small. This is a big mistake. A small website is just as likely to fall victim to a security breach as a larger site, often more so. We regularly help clients whose small sites have been hacked. Putting a hack right after the event is much, much more work than ensuring that the site is secure in the first place. Join this webinar to learn how to maximise the security of your WordPress site.

Why Awesome Tech Training?
We are Rachel, Lorna and Steve - three friends who have worked together on and off for more than 25 years. Each of us has (many!) years of experience in different aspects of digital marketing and web development.
We’ve always enjoyed working together and in 2019 we decided to formalise this arrangement and so we set up Awesome Tech Training. Rachel is based in the UK home counties, whilst Lorna and Steve are based near Dundalk in Ireland.
Over the past few years we’ve build a range of webinars and other training courses firmly based on our own experiences of marketing, sales and web development in the real world.
We’ve been at this for a while, so we know what the pitfalls are, what can go wrong, what the most common problems are and how to address them!
We try and bring this real world, practical approach into everything that we do – offering webinar attendees and other clients the benefit of our own experience to apply to their specific circumstances.
Our clients tend to be small businesses who don’t have the resource to outsource their whole marketing operation and want to be able to take control of it themselves.
Our training is designed to be affordable, practically focused and results oriented so you can start putting what you’ve learned into practice immediately and get quick results.
More than 5,000 people have come on our webinars – see what our customers say about us here.

Another brilliant webinar, so much useful information, tips and hints. I'm so pleased you record too, so I can go back to things I missed! This is normally a lot as I get so inspired to go off on tangents to look into all the useful things! Or it triggers me to think of other considerations for my business. For someone who can be a bit overwhelmed by the enormity of the digital world, Awesome Tech Training help make things much simpler and easy to understand and apply, particularly as a small and start up business. Many thanks and I look forward to upcoming webinars!
Steph Kirk
I've been on 4 webinars now and these guys really know their stuff. I have thrown some curveball questions, and some that tip a little bit out of the remit of the course, and they have still answered clearly and helpfully. They've really helped me to improve not only my website but my ad campaigns as well. I am yet to try their free half hour 1-1 but I am happy it's something I have at my disposal when I have my thoughts in order! Â
