Make Your Successful Website

Need a website but not sure how to do it? Join us for a practical session designed to empower you to build your own website and feel more confident with technology.

We will help you plan out who your website is for, what your visitors will do when they go to it and the actions you want them to take. You'll leave with a clear understanding about how you can use a website to your advantage and our aim is for you to build at least a home page.

The workshop will be a friendly and supportive environment in which to learn. No coding is required and you’ll learn to use Create.net’s tools to build your site.

Attendees of the workshop will receive a month's free subscription to Create.net’s Website Builder tools and hosting package when you attend (worth £6.99) and you'll be able to go live with your new website during the session if you want to. We can help you set up a domain name you already own or purchase a new one after the session.

You’ll need to bring your own laptop to build your website on and it will be beneficial (but not absolutely necessary) to prepare some content and ideas for your site in advance.

About The Spring Forward Festival
