New date, new format

Dates:

Saturday, 22nd March 2025, 10:00 am – 11:45 am (UK Time)

I’ll be adding new dates for this webinar, so please check often. Why not follow us on Bluesky to get the latest announcements?

Part 1 – The technical side

What sort of things do you need to get a handle on when creating a website? I take you on a good look through your options.

This webinar is crafted specifically for writers and includes info on the types of options out there in terms of hosting, platform, etc. And continues with some relevant details on how to make the site look great and make your readers get into your vibe.

With certain social media websites and other companies becoming less certain and acting rather dodgily (cough, X, cough, Meta), it might be a good time to look at ways to keep contact with your readers that don’t rely on a billionaire’s whim.

Agenda

• What options for websites are out there?
• Which might suit your needs?
• How do you go about getting one?
• What do they cost?
• Planning a website
• Domain names
• Hosting
• CMS (including a good look at WordPress)

Want to know more about what content and branding might look like for your website? Check out part 2, and don’t forget, you can opt to get a seat at both and save!

Combination event – get the two webinars for less.

This webinar is great for people who:

• understand the general concept of blogging, hyperlinking, domain names etc, even if they’ve never done all this themselves
• really want to have a website which is theirs to control to promote their writing
• want to get a bit better grip on the tech side of hosting, domains, and so on

This webinar is NOT for you if:

• You’ve already got a handle on websites, but just want to know what to put on them, in which case, go take a look at part 2 of this series.
• You’ve never had a website or a blog, you’re not even sure what blogging or websites ARE, and find the online world confusing and stressful, i.e. you need more background info. (See our websites for absolute beginners webinar in this case)
• You already have a website and know which hosting or domain provider or platform you would choose next, i.e. you know quite a bit about it. But you might like some of our upcoming advanced webinars, so keep this site bookmarked!

You will also receive a copy of the presentation deck so you can reference back!
