WEBSITE WORKSHOP/MENTORING
ON VASHON ISLAND

Hello, I'm Lisa - a web designer and I also teach online classes about branding, wordpress design, and business building. Mostly I work virtually, with clients all over the world.
Since there are SO many of us biz owners here on Vashon, I thought that some of you might be in need of a new website or it's time for website refresh, BUT you might not have the budget to hire someone to do it for you.
I've decided to offer a website building workshop/mentorship - in person here on the island - to teach you how to build your own wordpress website - with direct guidance from me writing, planning, and organizing your content (as well as making it all look amazing).
If that is something you'd be interested in, read on to learn more...

Why Take this course?
SOME OF THE THINGS WE'LL BE COVERING:
- The basics of wordpress.org
- How to build web pages from scratch
- Customizing and using a template to save time
- Creating compelling content
- Designing to attract more customers
- Writing for the internet
- Finding and using images to tell a story
- Connecting all the tech (newsletter, wordpress, hosting, etc.)
- Blogging for business growth
- Automations that simplify customer flow
- And more! ... depending on what YOU need
The idea here is that this is a MENTORING workshop - so I will meet you where you're at and provide guidance for whatever you need for YOUR business.
All that's required is a laptop, an idea about what you'll need for your new website, and a willingness to learn. I'll guide you through the rest.
What is NOT included in this workshop:
This is just a heads up about some of the things you'll need to provide for your new website. I can guide you on choices/options so don't worry about any of this just yet - just know to expect some additional small expenses. 🙂
- A computer - you will need a laptop to bring with you so you can work on your site during the workshop.
- A domain name - this is the www.yourwebsite.com which you have to purchase. ~ $10/year
- Website hosting - this is where all of your content lives and what makes it go live on the internet. ~ $10/month
- A wordpress theme - there are free ones and I have a couple of premium ones that I love and 100% recommend. Free - $200/year
- Newsletter service - if you'd like to collect emails on your website and send out a regular newsletter - you'll have to set up a service that can do this for you. Free - $30+/month
- Images for your website - you may want to hire a photographer for custom branded images or you can find high quality images (paid and for free) on the internet.
- Website copy - you'll need to write the copy for all of your pages, but you can do that as you create your site, or you can do it ahead of time.
Also important to note is that I will NOT be building your website for you. I will be showing you how, answering your questions, giving you feedback and providing my expertise.
