I have created a video tutorial that demonstrates how to build a beautiful, functional WordPress site using the Twenty Twenty-Five theme, block patterns, and built-in editing tools.
Follow a complete three-page build for the fictional Princeton Squirrel Admiration Society, from removing placeholder content to customizing headers, footers, page layouts, and navigation.
The video is 38 minutes long, and we plan to create smaller, short-form videos from some of the individual chapters.
For now, you can jump ahead in the time code to the sections that interest you.
