Having a website is critical to your business, and I don’t believe that it should come with a ridiculous pricetag or be so confusing that you want to tear your hair out.
Having your own website is the only place that you have full control over the narrative of what is being said about your company. You can’t rely upon third-party platforms, such as social media or even third-party web platforms where someone else is in control over what you can do and say.
Plus, when you design a website with the correct functionality, it can actually work like another member of your team, and complete tasks for you, such as scheduling appointments or selling products or services.
Bad Outsourced Website Horror Stories
I have some horror stories about what can happen … I won’t get into those here, you can find some of them on my YouTube channel. You also can’t always rely upon just outsourcing it to the cheapest person who is usually overseas … I actually get a LOT of my clients from entrepreneurs who already paid someone hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars to have a website built, only to be SO disappointed with unfinished websites with bad design, worse grammar, that actually makes their business look less professional that if they had done something really simple themselves.
The Experience We Bring You
I’m Vicky Wu with Vicky Wu Marketing. I bring my 30 years of marketing experience spanning Fortune 500 companies and as a Chief Marketing Officer, and combine it with the budget hacks I implemented while marketing for nonprofits and thousands of entrepreneurs to provide you easy process and strategies to help you focus your marketing to get you on the road to grow to 7-figures and beyond.
I’ve also been building websites for about two decades, so I know what I’m doing – and I’ve already made the mistakes and know what you need to do to avoid those. Plus, with an understanding of high-level marketing and how every piece of your online presence needs to work together, I know what needs to go into a website for a holistic approach to your business, and I’ve already established best practices to make it easy for you.
Why You Need This
That’s why I’m bringing you this DIY Website course where you can design your own website that helps you grow your business – with a cost SO much less than what you would pay to have pretty much anyone design a website for you.
Through our video-based training, plus access to our student forums to ask your questions and get them answered along the way, my team will be with you to help you build your own website that is designed to provide an amazing online presence plus convert visitors into customers.
The platform we use is WordPress, and there are many reasons why we love WordPress:
- Since the software is open source (ie FREE), and the hosting is purchased and owned by you (and not your web developer), it’s the best way to insure that you always have that full control by not placing your website into a third-party platform.
- It’s also an industry standard, used by hundreds of thousands of businesses around the globe (we’ve done a lot more than one or two ourselves),
- with super easy ability to extend functionality so that your website can actually help you get things done.
From buying your domain name, setting up your hosting, installing a theme and plugins, strategizing what pieces of functionality you want to include, copywriting designed to convert, custom design including images and branding, basic CSS, adding ecommerce and so much more, we are with you every step showing you exactly how to do it.
Do You Need to Work in This Course? Yes
I’m not going to lie … building a website requires work. And you’re going to have to work in this course.
This isn’t the type of course that you will run through in one day and be done (and if that’s what you want, frankly it probably doesn’t exist and this course isn’t for you). That’s not what what will get you a beautiful, converting website that best represents your business. But it’s SO much easier when you have it very simply laid out for you, and you can work through exactly what you need to do, and on the schedule that works best for you.
The best thing about this course – beyond all of the support built in – if at some point you get into it and decide that the heavy lifting required to complete a website is just too much to put on your plate right now, you can apply the full price that you paid for the course as a discount off of our done-for-you website services. Or, if along the way you need something in-between the DIY and done-for-you options, you can access student-only discount rates for hourly one-on-one “done with you” website support.
As you work through the lessons, you’ll finish the course with a professional, custom branded, appealing and converting website that you can be proud to showcase and be confident that is reflecting you and your business the right way.
Short, quick video how-to
I know there’s a long list of lessons here. Don’t let that overwhelm you, because most teach you what you need to know in just a few minutes. And you need all of these pieces to set up your website – so just imagine if you didn’t have us to help walk you through it!
