Build a website you're proud to show off
With the confidence that comes from expert guidance...
Learn everything you need to know to write and design your own website with SEO
This program will help you prepare and publish your website with confidence.
Rather than going a DIY approach where you’ll waste hours Googling and hoping for the best, you can harness my experience and have my hand to hold, as you take each step.
At the end of the course, you’ll have a published website that works with and for your business.
The long story short is this:
-
The program will guide you to create your own website in 5 weeks, from start to finish.
-
You’ll have a mix of prepared learning materials, actionable activities, written feedback, set-up support, and 1:1 calls so that you’ll be well-supported throughout the program.
-
Some contact points are fixed to provide you with the most impactful feedback.
-
You also have three 1:1 30-minute Support Calls, as well as 5x SOS emails, to use at any point throughout the program, or in the first month after publishing.
This program is perfect for you if:
-
You have your photos ready to go, or you can quickly organise them within a fortnight of starting.
-
You have your branding sorted - if you don’t, I can create your branding as a Done For You service before we start your DWY website.
-
You need a website up and running, yesterday.
-
You want to understand how and why to do things.
-
You’re committed to doing the work to bring the vision to life.
It can work for you whether you’re selling:
Products
Services
Bookings
Online or in-person
Memberships
This offer isn’t for you if:
-
You’re wanting to teach others how to create their own websites.The resources are not intended for this purpose. They are licensed to authorised participants for the purpose of creating their own website and remain my intellectual property.
-
You’re too busy to scratch yourself.With this program, you need time to do the work. If you’re too busy to set aside the time, I’d recommend my “Done for you” websites, where you only need to provide your feedback.
-
You struggle to stick to deadlines, even when you know they matter.You’ll have all your dates set out in advance, so you can plan around them. But this is not the kind of program where there’s a lot of wiggle room.
-
You think your website will never need an update.With the tools I’ve given you, you’ll be able to make those changes as they happen. Nobody’s website stays the same forever!
-
You expect your website to do everything for your business.Your website is a tool that supports your business, but it will not do everything for you. It will certainly shave hours off your work every week, but you do still need to do things to ‘get your name out there.’
If you’re ready to have the ‘Done With You’ website of your dreams, let’s take a closer look at we'll be doing each week…
Week 1: SEO, Research and Planning
This week your primary focus is brainstorming, researching, and planning for a strategic website moving forward. You’ll be guided to identify all the specifics you’d like to incorporate in your own website, while bringing your own flavour.
Next, you’ll learn about SEO keywords – how to find them, where we’ll use them, and which ones will serve you well. At the end of this week, you’ll have a clear plan as well as a list of keywords to target on your website.
Next steps: Send me your keyword list. I’ll organise it strategically for your website so that you know what keywords to use and where.
Week 2: Website Copy
We’ll start this week with a 30min 1:1 call to plan the specifics for your website.
After our call, you’ll head off for a Copywriting Masterclass, where you’ll learn the basics of writing copy for your business.
The next day, I’ll send you a copywriting template specific for your business, guiding you through what to include on each page. More than that, your copy doc will prompt you with gap fills, activities, and layout structures to help you nail your copy.
Once you’ve written your website copy, send it to me for feedback.
Week 3: Website Design
Week 3 starts with a lesson about website design that will teach you to use Wix’s website builder. More than just the technical skills, I’ll help you understand how to build a website that makes it easy for your clients to find what they need.
To help you with your design and to speed up your process, I’ll set up a simple PC design that mirrors the website copy you’ve planned. That way, you can focus on the simpler tasks like copying and pasting words in place and replacing placeholder photos with your own, before you make layout tweaks to the mobile website.
Week 4: Website Settings
This week is all about getting your website working with and for you as a business owner. In your learning content, you’ll cover everything to do with e-commerce (including product set-up), bookings, automations and connecting payment methods.
There’s no planned call this week, but a lot of clients will want to book in for a Support Call this week.
Week 5: SEO
I know – you thought we had done this already. To tell you the truth, I’ve snuck in parts of your SEO along the way, but now’s the time to get down to the nitty gritty details that will help you rank on Google.
In your learning materials you’ll be guided to complete each task. With a handy checklist, you’ll be able to confidently ignore those pesky spam emails offering you dodgy SEO support.
Once these tasks are complete, you’ll be ready to publish your website for all to see!
Program Inclusions
-
5 weeks of learning materials to guide you step-by-step through the website building process. The content will be drip-fed a week at a time, to help you avoid overwhelm and feel a sense of accomplishment as you tick off each week’s tasks.
-
Three 30-minute 1:1 calls throughout the project. The 1st call is in Week 2, while the other 2 calls can be scheduled at your request – that way when you need me, I can be there!
-
Individual written feedback on your SEO keywords (Week 1), Copy Doc (Week 2), Website Design (Week 3). With specific, actionable suggestions for improvements.
-
Website Copy Template. Tailored for your business, so you know exactly what you really need to include and how to set-out your pages.
-
Simple Website Build. Using your copy doc, I’ll build a simple computer website layout so that you can easily drag and drop your copy into place, replace photos, etc. Setting this up is a bit like swimming lessons – they’re strategic and help you to build your skills, rather than throwing you in the deep end and just hoping for the best!
-
Settings and Automations. Whether you’re building an online store, planning courses, a membership or bookings, I’ll support you to connect the systems you need to run your business smoothly. Once these things are set up, they’ll run smoothly for your business for years to come!
-
Getting found on Google. SEO is included at several points throughout the program because it’s where DIY website builders go horribly wrong. After all that effort, you want your website to be found online! I’ll make sure your website is on Google and with your SEO work, you’ll have done all that’s needed to help Google suggest your content to people who’re looking for someone just like you!
-
Five SOS emails. For when you find yourself in a pickle and need a quick 5-minute fix or pointer, you can email me and I’ll get back to you. If it’s more than a quick fix, I’ll let you know it’s time to use one of your Support Calls.
Bonuses!
Chances are right now, you just need to get a website up and running for your business. But down the track, you’d like to be able to include email marketing or write a blog. I’ve got you covered with mini-courses that will help you diversify your marketing and continue to grow your business:
-
Email Marketing
-
Blogs
-
Backlinks
Program Exclusions
These are the same as any website build process:
-
Your domain and professional email address. I can help you with this but it’s a small, additional expense which varies with providers. Generally, you can get both for under $100/year. They are payable to your chosen provider (again, I can support you with this).
-
Website hosting fees, which are payable directly to Wix. These will be paid in Week 3. These are listed monthly on Wix’s website, but you generally get a 50% off discount if you pay for 12 or 24 months up front. Obviously, this is an offer that’s made by Wix, not me, so they may change it without my knowledge. If you’re processing sales through your website, you’ll need Core or Business. If you are a service provider using another payment method, Light will generally suffice. https://www.wix.com/plans
-
Branding related fees. If you do not have branding and choose to move forward with a branding package before we start your round, these are additional fees. Paid fonts are not included in these quotes but are always discussed.
Remember that these fees, as well as your program fees, are all standard business expenses, meaning you can speak with your accountant about these fees and your tax.
Ready to build the website of your dreams, together?
The next Done WIth You round starts in October. Payment plans are available to secure your space in the October round, which will see you publish your website in November.
Final payment is due by our starting date, but as soon as your position is confirmed you'll be added to the Pre-Work course. This gives you a chance get familiar with the course platform while ticking off some tasks, so that you'll feel completely ready to start your Done With You Website Program in October.
