WORDPRESS TRAINING
Obtain Creative offers several flexible options to fit your needs. If you, your colleagues, or department are interested in starting or maintaining a WordPress based site, Obtain offers WordPress “Classes” that are broken down into three main sections. Each with customized progressions to fit you or your group’s personal needs. We think you’ll agree with others, we’re the best WordPress training experts around and love teaching others! Learn more below:
WordPress Training Breakout
First WordPress Class
This class is focused on an introduction to the WordPress platform. This will include learning the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, how to begin your WordPress download either through a one-click system or a manual download, choosing a theme, choosing a host, and describing things like what an FTP is. Other topics may include learning the differences between free and professional themes, and learning the basic functions of the WordPress Dashboard.
Second WordPress Class
This class will be focused on learning how the WordPress dashboard works. This will include instruction on how to navigate the dashboard, understanding what plug-ins are and how to use them, exploration and functionality of widgets, the difference between Pages, Posts, and Categories; settings panel, tools panel, introduction to contact forms, and basic WordPress practices.
Third WordPress Class
This is the most flexible session offered. It will focus on expanding on the knowledge from the previous classes, and will be custom tailored to your individual or company’s needs. We will discuss what widgets best benefit your site and how to organize them, what plug-ins are safe for your theme and how to implement them, an introduction into connecting social media to your site, basic organic SEO development, an introduction to inbound marketing through site content, and more. This class will most likely be determined by previous sessions and/or our initial consultation. This is a great option for those who simply want to expand upon their WordPress knowledge or site.
In addition to these classes, Obtain Creative offers on-going and individual training sessions. Obtain’s main focus is providing our clients with personalized training and help throughout their WordPress experience.
When was the last time you looked at your social media through your audience’s eyes?
Not as the person who knows the mission, or wrote the caption, or understands every program, acronym, and internal priority.
As someone landing on your page for the first time.
A quick social media audit can show you whether your content is actually helping people understand who you are, what you do, who you serve, and how they can connect with your work.
A strong social media presence:
Should be clear.
Should be accessible.
Should tell a story.
Should make your mission easy to recognize.
Should help your audience know what to do next.

A successful event doesn`t start on event day. It starts with a simple "SAVE THE DATE."
One of our favorite parts of working with @argentaarts is helping build excitement long before the first guest arrives. From Save the Date reels and even reminders to volunteer recruitment, day-of coverage, and post-event recaps, every piece plays a role in bringing the community together.
But our job doesn`t end when the event begins.
You`ll often find us walking the event, capturing photos and videos, sharing Stories in real time, and celebrating the people who make Argenta such a vibrant place. Then, once it`s over, we keep the momentum going with recap content and invitations to join the next event.
Because great marketing isn`t just about promoting an event. It`s about creating anticipation, celebrating community, and giving people a reason to come back again and again.
That`s how momentum is built. 💛

Sometimes the best social media tools are already built into the app.
Two Instagram features we think more organizations should be using:
Scheduled Posts
Planning ahead means less last-minute scrambling and more time to focus on creating thoughtful content. Whether you`re taking a vacation or preparing for a busy event, scheduling helps you stay consistent.
Collaborative Posts
Working with a partner, sponsor, or community organization? Invite them as a collaborator so the post appears on both accounts, helping you reach new audiences while celebrating the partnership together.
Simple features like these can save time, expand your reach, and make managing social media a little easier.
Swipe through to see why these two tools have become part of our regular workflow.

Have you ever made a recipe more than once?
The first time, you follow it exactly. The second time, you add a little more garlic, less salt, or bake it a little longer because you know what works for your taste.
Marketing works the same way.
A strategy isn`t meant to stay exactly the same forever. As platforms evolve and audiences change, the best marketers pay attention, make adjustments, and keep improving.
Lately, we`ve been refining our own "recipe" by creating more thoughtful carousels, leaning into storytelling, focusing on content people save and share, and prioritizing quality over quantity.
The ingredients haven`t changed. We`re still leading with strategy, creativity, and community. We`re just adjusting the recipe based on what today`s audience is hungry for.
The best marketing isn`t about getting it perfect the first time. It`s about tasting, learning, and making it even better the next time around.
What`s one adjustment you`ve made lately that`s made a bigger impact than you expected?

Some of our favorite marketing tools don`t cost us extra time. They save it.
There are a handful of Canva features we use almost every week because they help us work more efficiently without sacrificing quality. Here are few of them:
Magic Resize - to quickly adapt designs for different platforms.
Brand Kits - to keep every client`s colors, fonts, and logos consistent.
Background Remover - for clean, polished graphics in just a few clicks.
Image Splitter - to turn one image into a seamless carousel.
The best tools aren`t the flashiest. Sometimes they`re the ones that quietly save you hours each week.
Swipe through to see how we use these Canva features in our day-to-day workflow.
