Website building classes

Build a real website in five sessions.

No coding. No technical background. You arrive with an idea and leave with a working website that's live on the internet, with a contact form that saves every enquiry and card payments switched on.

Taught live online. Open to business owners, community groups and students, wherever you are.

What you walk away with

Not a certificate. A website that works.

Plenty of courses teach you about websites. This one ends with yours online, doing a real job for your business.

Your own web address

A real domain that you own, pointing at your site. Not a preview link that expires.

Enquiries that get saved

A contact form wired to a proper database, so nothing is lost in a busy inbox.

Card payments, tested

Take deposits, bookings or donations. Set up in test mode first, then switched live.

Skills you keep

You leave able to edit and extend the site yourself. No going back to a developer for a phone number change.

The five sessions

Each session ends with something finished.

The order matters. Every session builds on the last, and every one has a moment where something visibly works.

01

Plan it, then build the first page

We work out what your site actually needs to do, then get your home page on screen. You will see your own words in your own layout before the first session ends.

Win: your home page exists.

02

Every other page

About, services, gallery, whatever your business needs. We cover how to describe what you do so a stranger understands it in ten seconds.

Win: a complete site you can click through.

03

The database behind the form

We connect a real database so every enquiry is stored, timestamped and searchable. This is the part most beginners are told is too hard. It isn't.

Win: you submit a test enquiry and watch it appear.

04

Taking money

Payments set up in test mode with fake cards first, so you can break things safely, then switched to live when you are ready.

Win: a payment goes through end to end.

05

Publish and hand over

Your site goes live at your own address. We cover how to update it, what to check each month, and what to do when something breaks.

Win: you send the link to someone.

Who comes to these classes

Three kinds of people, one class.

Business owners

You have been meaning to sort the website for two years. You have had quotes that made you close the tab. Build it yourself in five sessions and keep control of it.

Churches & community groups

You need somewhere to publish events, take donations and let people get in touch, without a monthly bill or waiting on a volunteer who is always busy.

Students, Year 7 and up

A genuinely useful skill, taught with the same tools professionals use. Plenty of students finish ahead of the adults in the room.

Upcoming
