What Gute Ninjas Are Saying
This course totally changed my attitude towards Gutenberg!
I was feeling really cranky about Gutenberg. It seemed clunky and non-intuitive, and I couldn’t get it to do what I wanted. Within just a few modules of starting this class, the light bulb came on and I began to see not only how robust Gutenberg already is, but also a bigger vision for where it’s taking us. Knowing how to use its more robust features is going to save me money I’d otherwise have spent on a website designer.

I saved 80% on my theme redesign
I had procrastinated over switching to Gutenberg and was dreading it. This course just walked me through it step-by-step and made me feel so less intimidated. It got me excited to tackle the redesign of my outdated theme and I used one that was reviewed in the course. The whole revamp, including the course and my developer’s time was significantly less than what I would have spent if I hadn’t been able to do most of the work of myself.

Why just 6 months at a time?
This course is so fast and so fun that I’m positive you’ll be inspired by all you can do with Gute that you’ll be excited to make the switch, and 6 months is plenty of time to do that!
You’ll get:
- Real-world tutorials will have you creating posts and pages in minutes.
- Ideas galore – for how you can put Gute features to use immediately (and get rid of the plugins that deliver that function now)
- Time savers – you will flip when you see just how fast you can create posts, plus your own custom blocks and templates to use over and over

Excellent Foundation with Real-World Relevant Examples
I wasn’t sure how I might like Gutenberg as a long-time WordPress user and service provider but MaAnna made the course easy to complete and now I’m excited about Gute! All the examples are real-world and relevant, not just silly exercises for the sake of doing them. I see this as a must-use course for DIY’ers and designer/developers alike. Why re-create the wheel when you can invest your time in quality training that gets you moving forward with the new technology FAST.

Excited about using blocks now
I was dreading switching to Gute but after taking this course it all makes sense to me now. I am actually excited about using blocks now and look forward to using them to add custom styling to my blog posts.

MaAnna’s tutorials are easy to follow
Moving to Gutenberg seemed really scary – big changes & everything moved. MaAnna’s tutorials were great for my visual learning needs. It was easy to follow, practice, and she’s available for questions. Thanks MaAnna – I’m ready to switch with confidence.

Gute made easy to understand, thank goodness!
I was not looking forward to switching to Gute then MaAnna’s course came along and changed everything. Her step-by-step instructions made Gute a piece of cake. This is a big thing for a non-techie like me.

Understanding Gute made fun and easy by MaAnna
I love how the course taught me both the big picture and all the unique characteristics. I would never have discovered all the little details on my own that add style to my pages and posts!

Gute can do everything I need and more!
I cloned my site to ensure that Gutenberg could do every thing I do now on my site. It can, and so much more! Now I can dump several specialty plugins that I won’t need, and even do those things better and faster than with the Classic Editor.
