About this course

What you'll walk away with

Most small business websites don't fail because of the design. They fail because nobody planned what the site needed to say, or who it was for.

This course walks you through the same process we use for client websites: get clear on your customer, write words that make sense in five seconds, build the pages on Wix, and set the site up so Google can find it. You work at your own pace, and every lesson ends with one concrete thing to do on your own site.

  • A clear one-sentence message for your business
  • A homepage, services page and about page written for your customers
  • A finished Wix website that works well on a phone
  • Google basics set up: titles, descriptions and your Business Profile
  • A launch checklist and a plan for your first 30 days

This course is for

  • Small business owners who want to build their own site
  • People starting a new business on a tight budget
  • Anyone with a site that looks fine but doesn't bring in calls

It's probably not for

  • Developers looking for coding tutorials
  • Online stores with hundreds of products

Questions

Before you enroll

Do I need any experience?

No. If you can use email and a web browser, you can follow along. Every lesson shows exactly what to click.

Do I need to pay for Wix?

You can build the whole site on a free Wix account. To connect your own domain and remove Wix ads you'll need a Wix premium plan, which you pay Wix for directly.

How long do I have access?

For life. You pay once and keep access to every lesson, including updates we add later.

What if I decide I'd rather have you build it?

That happens, and it's completely fine. If you decide you'd rather hand it off, your full $500 goes toward a custom website built by Walt & Gordon. Just book a call and mention the course.

Can I watch on my phone?

Yes. Lessons work on any device. Sign in with the same account and pick up where you left off.

Rather have us build it for you?

That's what we do every day. Book a free 30-minute call, and if you've taken the course, your $500 goes toward your website.
