5 Reasons to trust me as your guide

  • I’m a total tech nerd who has explored (almost) every website platform and have deemed this option to be the easiest way to get a professional online presence
  • This course has been created with holistic practitioners in mind blending my coaching and tech skills together. I’ve done this with many clients and it’s a really effective way to get online
  • I used to be a primary school teacher (for age 4 to 5 year olds!) so I’m quite good at breaking information down into practical steps
  • I believe this course will save you so much time in trying to figure it all out yourself and it will make you money by making client conversion easier
  • My mission is empowering holistic practitioners to bring healing and wellness through my business strategy, marketing and tech skills. I always seek the low-cost, low-hassle options for my clients and students

Real Talk

Advantages of the Platform
  • Free
  • Quick
  • People can check you out 
  • Viewable on mobile & desktop
  • Convenient
  • Not overwhelming
  • Suitable for service-based businesses (with just a few products)
  • Editable via an app on your phone. No laptop needed
  • A stepping stone towards clarifying what you want on your future full website
  • Easy to edit with new ideas- Evolve out loud
  • You will have a website link to share in your marketing activities
Disadvantages of the Platform:
  • Not a custom URL e.g. you cannot get www.myname.com . Instead the URL will include the platform name and your name
  • It looks narrow on desktop (it’s not full-width)
  • Probably suitable for up to 6 paragraphs of text per webpage (you can make as many webpages as you like).
  • Not for complex requirements e.g. a membership website
  • Limited customisation (also an advantage because fewer choices!)
  • A webpage can have contain text only, videos only, or else1 photo with text beneath.
  • No blog
  • Not optimised for SEO- page titles, meta descriptions. But I have a workaround for you to be found on Google locally and when people search for your business name
  • Not your forever website (but a great stepping stone in the meantime)
  • Not suitable for a business solely centred around selling products (I do show you a way that you can sell digital products)

FAQs

Is is really that easy for a total non-techie?

Yes, it is. I’m not into exaggeration or hype at all!

How long will it take me to build my mini-website?

You can build along while watching the videos (and pressing pause when needed).

Here’s a rough estimate of time needed:

  • Setup & build the pages – 20 minutes
  • Write the words for each page 2 to 3 paragraphs per page – 1 hour
  • Take or gather 5 photos – up to 1 hour
  • Choosing your brand- 15 minutes
  • Creating & uploading 2 to 3 short video – 1 hour
  • Optional: Setting up extra functionality depending on your needs e.g. Calendar, registration form, event registration, custom email address, taking payment – up to 3 hours
  • 5 marketing activities – 1 hour

Total Time Estimation: between 5 and 7.5 hours

I can just do all this myself without the course..

Yes, you could!

But I know from experience that website building is a black hole of time and energy with dollops of overwhelm and perfectionism. The result is that websites often don’t get finished.

This course is step-by-step with guidance on all the things- the tech, the words, the photos, the brand, the extra functionality.

Getting your website built sooner than later can result in you earning money from said website sooner than later. Time is money, as they say!

Is this a WordPress/ Squarespace/ Wix website?

Nope, none of those. Those are where you can build a full website. The platform we will use is less complex than those. Plus our platform is free!

I’m afraid I won’t complete the course…
  • The course is only 2 hrs 15 minutes long (and shorter if you watch in double speed!).
  • It’s accessible on desktop and mobile for your convenience.
  • As an incentive for you to complete the course, I’ve built in a completion bonus which will be revealed to you when you join the course!
I don’t have a laptop

That’s ok. You will be building your website via an app on your phone

Can I host a membership or online courses on this website?

No.

But you could make a webpage on your mini-website explaining your course or membership and put a button at the bottom. The button could lead to Eventbrite for people to register for your event or to Membervault for people to sign up for your membership or to watch your online course.

Do I get personalised support?

This is a self-study course which has been created so that you can go through it at your own pace. As a self-study course, there is no built-in coaching or personalised advice.

I feel the course is quite comprehensive. If there is something in the course that is not clear, you are more than welcome to email me to ask about it.

What’s your refund policy?

Due to the digital nature of this product, there are no refunds available so please purchase mindfully.

Make sure that you are fully informed about what you are buying and what my approach is.

If you have any questions or things you are unsure about, just pop me an email and I’ll be happy to answer

How much does the course cost?

The course costs €195. There are no additional fees that you will need to pay to create the website. The optional extra tools I mention in this course are all free, except for the custom email address option.

I have another question…
