The know how:
Over winter 2016 my partner Neil and I attended some Wellington High School Adult Education courses on WordPress and I built my site from there.

The WordPress courses were run by David Archibald from One Red Turtle, and were excellent.
I also did a short evening course on Social Media run by Natalie Fountain, this was also really worthwhile and fun!
Natalie used lots of practical examples from the Wellington-based Goldbeard Guitars site to support the concepts in the course.
