SUMMARY:Finally Get Your Business Online: 4 Weeks\, Start to Finish
DESCRIPTION:Thinking about getting a website for your business but not sure where to begin? This is a great\, affordable place to start — run by Polyspiral\, a multi-award-winning website design\, SEO and hosting company. \nOver four friendly online sessions\, you’ll build your own WordPress website from scratch — step by step\, in a small\, supportive group. No jargon\, no assumptions\, and no need to have anything set up already. If you can send an email and use a web browser\, you’ve got everything you need to begin. \nIt’s for you if you’re a small business owner\, freelancer\, sole trader or charity who knows you need a website but hasn’t taken the plunge yet. Commissioning a bespoke site is a big step (and cost) when you’re starting out — this course gives you a proper working website and the know-how to run it yourself\, for a fraction of that. \nWhat we’ll cover\, one session at a time:\nSession 1 (17 Sept) — The Foundations: how the web works\, what WordPress is\, and getting your domain and hosting sorted.\nSession 2 (1 Oct) — Building Your Site: installing WordPress\, choosing a theme\, and structuring your pages.\nSession 3 (8 Oct) — Content & Plugins: writing pages that work for real people and search engines\, adding the right plugins\, and keeping your site secure.\nSession 4 (15 Oct) — Going Live with Confidence: final checks\, SEO basics\, and keeping your site maintained without spending hours on it. \nThe details:\nFour live Zoom sessions on Thursdays\, 10:30am–12:00pm (please note we skip 24 September). Recordings available if you miss one. You’ll also get a participant guide for each session\, a practice website to build on\, email support between sessions\, and access to Polyspiral’s recommended tools. \nBy the end\, you’ll have a working website and the confidence to manage it yourself — a solid foundation you can grow from. \nWhat past participants say:\n“If you want a website but your budget doesn’t stretch to a fully done-for-you approach\, sign up for Abbie’s WordPress course. I now have my own simple and easy-to-navigate website\, which I love! It’s such a boost to my business\, having a website link to send prospective clients. And I now have the knowledge and confidence to continue developing my website and adding new content\, to support my business growth.”\n— Melanie Smith\, melaniesmith-coaching.com \nQuestions before you book? Email abbie@polyspiral.com and I’ll be happy to help.

SUMMARY:Webinar - SEO you can do\, December 2026
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to boost your website’s visibility on search engines but feel overwhelmed by the technical jargon?\nWhat is SEO?\nSEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation\, it’s the practice of making your website appear higher in the search results of Google and Bing. \nJoin us for “SEO You Can Do\,” a beginner-friendly webinar designed specifically for non-technical individuals. With 28 years of experience building websites\, Abbie Thoms will guide you through simple\, effective strategies to improve your site’s search engine ranking.\nWho is this webinar for\nThis webinar caters to small business owners and charity administrators aiming to optimise their websites without investing significant sums into SEO services. If you’ve been sifting through the abundance of SEO information and encountered dubious practices like purchasing backlinks\, this webinar is for you. Our goal is to dispel misinformation and equip you with practical strategies to enhance your website’s visibility and conversion rates. \nWho this webinar is not for\nThis webinar is not geared towards seasoned SEO professionals or individuals seeking advanced expertise unless you’re just embarking on your journey in online marketing. We won’t delve deeply into intricate marketing strategies or complex website analytics. Instead\, we’ll provide beginner-friendly insights and actionable tasks\, particularly suitable for non-programmers. \nDetails\n\nDuration: 1 Hour\nFormat: Interactive with Q&A at the end\nPrice: Free\nLocation: Zoom\nScroll down to book your place\n\nWhy Attend?\n\nJargon-Free Learning: No technical language\, just straightforward advice.\nInteractive Session: Get your questions answered in real-time.\nProven Expertise: Learn from my 28 years of experience in website building.\n\nAbout Me\nI have dedicated the last 25 years to building and optimising websites. My approach is practical and user-friendly\, ensuring that anyone\, regardless of their technical background\, can improve their SEO. I believe that with the right guidance\, anyone can master the basics of SEO and see significant improvements in their website’s performance. \nConnect to me on LinkedIn\, I’m always happy to chat and give out snippets of advice  \n\nWhat previous attendees said:\n“Polyspiral’s excellent “SEO You Can Do” seminar on Zoom was a really helpful no-nonsense session\, full of lots of clear explanations in ordinary language. I left with lots of answers and a To Do list! \nI am a volunteer with a not-for-profit organisation (Stowmarket Carnival) & find myself having to manage a website with only a very basic understanding of the technologies involved. And all too often trying to get more information involves impenetrable jargon and unending sequences of abbreviations. Oh\, and lots of dubious advice\, often based on out-of-date information. \nThis seminar was clear & straightforward\, and I particularly liked the opportunity to ask questions at every stage\, and the follow-up email with useful information. I would recommend this session for anyone wanting to understand how to get found on the web”\n– Kate Kelly\, source Google Reviews \n\n
