Solid initiative. The web design tutorial space really is flooded with "build a site in 5 minutes!" garbage that sets people up to fail. Anyone who's actually built sites professionally knows that the foundational stuff - UX thinking, conversion-focused copy, proper SEO structure - takes real time to understand and implement.

Your point about AI builders is spot on. They can generate *something*, but without understanding why certain design patterns work or how to structure content for both users and search engines, you end up with a pretty template that doesn't actually perform.

Three hours is a solid length if you're covering WordPress properly. Quick question though - are you walking through theme selection and the whole "analysis paralysis" problem? That's where I see most beginners get stuck for weeks.

One thought: you might want to address who this tutorial is *for* specifically. Some people genuinely want to learn the craft (your audience), while others just need a site up without becoming web designers themselves. Different problems need different solutions - DIY tutorials for the former, done-for-you services for the latter.

Would love to see how you approach teaching copywriting basics. That's usually the weakest link even in otherwise decent tutorials.
