MaAnna Stephenson

Hi, I’m MaAnna and I created this course specifically for pro WordPress designers and VAs. It is the easiest and most comprehensive way to gain the technical website skills you need.

My webmasters can deliver sites that are:

  • fully secure
  • optimized for speed
  • run on HTTPS

Stop Wasting Time

I bet you’ve burned a lot of fruitless time:

  • scouring YouTube looking for tutorials
  • Googling endlessly trying to find info
  • asking in groups and forums
  • doing a try-this-try-that approach

and still come away with:

  • empty hands
  • outdated info
  • processes too technical to follow
  • only partial instructions or missing critical info

What a waste of non-billable hours!

Spend less time learning and more time earning

All Webmaster Training tutorials get right to the point.

No fluff. No filler. No hype. All help.

In this course you’ll discover how to:

  • set up a sandbox site on your hosting to learn by doing immediately
  • use a spreadsheet to track site info – you’ll wonder how you lived without doing it this way!
  • install and secure a WordPress site from the root up
  • install or use a free/paid SSL certificate – and why to use which one
  • fully convert a site to HTTPS – no plugins or tricks
  • optimize performance to the max for super fast page loads

You are not going to find an easier,
more comprehensive webmaster course anywhere online!

You receive:

  • focused tutorials
  • step-by-step instructions
  • overviews to quickly grasp the whole process first
  • downloadable checklists

You gain:

  • confidence by doing
  • new services to offer existing and new clients
  • the ability to get jobs you couldn’t take before
  • higher prices for your advanced knowledge

What Webmasters Are Saying

Paid for itself multiple times

As a web professional with several decades of experience, I was looking for a way to stay up-to-date on the latest security, performance, and trends. MaAnna’s course rejuvenated my confidence and skills enabling me to immediately land more business and serve my existing clients better. The course paid for itself several times over within the first 30 days alone.

There is absolutely no way on God’s Green Earth that I would have been able to do HTTPS without you. I am so grateful for all of the work you put in for us in Webmaster Training, and as far as I’m concerned, it paid for itself in the first flip to HTTPS. THANK YOU SO MUCH…more
