Website design is often overwhelming to business owners. It can also be costly, between designers, hosting, plug-ins, e-commerce and email marketing integration. I developed this course to help small business owners overcome those obstacles through a step by step guided course that interactively teaches and then provides an opportunity for you to complete the same actions before moving on to the next step.

Throughout the course writing prompts, branding guides, and live screen casts are all provided over a series of 29 lectures to ensure a winning outcome. Lectures consist of a combination of video instruction, downloadable writing prompts to help you develop the key content pieces for your website, and screen cast lectures to assist you step by step in building your website.

At the completion of the course you are encouraged to join our Facebook Alumni group for feedback on your website and networking with other business owners in a supportive forum.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who would like to build a website would benefit for this course.
  • This course uses a template website approach. It is not for anyone looking to build a wordpress site.
