Spend time learning to code through online courses and by editing existing website templates. By viewing someone else's code and attempting to make changes to it, you'll learn the basics and if you pick the right website templates, you'll also learn best practices along the way.

Once you know the basics, start creating websites and build up your portfolio. Even if the websites are just for practice, create something.

I receive a lot of resumes from WordPress developers and the very first thing I look at is their portfolio. If I like what I visually see, I pass on the websites onto my senior level coders and have them review the code.

Only then do I consider the person for a position within our agency.

Any agency will need to see something you've created before truly considering your resume or application as a viable option.
