The Astra Buildout course takes you past the basics and into building a complete gym and fitness site from a real brief. You'll shape a homepage designed to win members, a class schedule, and a signup flow, then polish it for mobile through launch. It's the second half of the Astra series that begins with Foundations.

What you'll learn

Knowing a theme's settings is one thing; using them to hit a specific brief is another. This Astra theme tutorial has you make design decisions the way a freelancer would, from choosing when to re-template to building a homepage that converts and handling the honest realities of a membership signup. You'll come away able to take a blank Astra install and turn it into a focused, goal-driven site rather than a generic one. Those are the skills clients actually pay for.

Inside the course

  • Planning the Fitness Site & Re-Templating
  • The Conversion Homepage & Class Schedule
  • Signup, Membership Reality & Bells
  • Polish, Mobile & Launch

Who this course is for

This suits intermediate users who've finished the Astra Foundations course or already know Astra's global styles and builders. It's hands-on and assumes you're comfortable in WordPress. If Astra is new to you, start with Foundations first.

Frequently asked questions

Should I take Foundations before Buildout?
We recommend it. Buildout assumes you're already comfortable installing Astra and working with global styles and the header and footer builder, all of which Foundations covers. If you know that ground, you can jump straight in.
What kind of site do we build?
A local gym and fitness site, chosen because it needs to actively win members. That makes it a good vehicle for practicing conversion-focused homepages, a class schedule, and a signup flow.
Is this course free?
No, it's a paid course included with the WP Tutoring membership. That gives you this Astra Buildout course alongside the rest of the self-paced video library.
