Very nice tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for. No premium page builders which significantly reduces the cost.
This is a really helpful, well-explained and practical video. Thank you very much. I am now going to follow it to make my own site. My favourite tip was how to make the header area much neater as I had struggled previously to get rid of the extra unnecessary space. Thank you.

That was great thanks. I'm working my way through Twenty Twenty Four as an absolute beginner in creating a website. What a learning curve. I'm pretty sure I'll enrol in your course. I hope you have a question and answer section in there.

I just updated it two days ago with WordPress 6.5 updates. I intend to continue updating the course - I had a hiatus there for a few months because there was a bug with 6.5 that broke fonts integration, but I figured out a fix for it (outlined in the course updates). I hope you’ll join!

@@DaviesMediaDesign yup, I've joined. By any chance do you teach Bricks builder as well? Or Gutenberg is better than Bricks 🧱
I am using WordPress 6.5.3. Using template>pages I am unable to remove "Home". Please advise.

Which part of the video are you referencing (you can use time stamps)?
WordPress problem - List view > header > add after > cover (There is an unwanted space of about 20px between the header and the cover block. There is nothing showing in the List View between these two blocks.) How can I remove this spacing.
@DaviesMediaDesign
Ай бұрын
Make sure you are clicked on the Cover block. Go to the Styles tab (in the Block settings sidebar). Go to the Margin slider, slide it over to the right, then back to the left to 0. That should get rid of it.
Cannot find 'Add Theme Font' on WordPress 6.5.3.

Sir, Please create a single page/ landing page using default theme tutorial. Paying a site builder is bit costly for the startups.
