SUMMARY:Finally Get Your Business Online: 4 Weeks\, Start to Finish - November 2026
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 (4 Feb) — The Foundations: how the web works\, what WordPress is\, and getting your domain and hosting sorted.\nSession 2 (11 Feb) — Building Your Site: installing WordPress\, choosing a theme\, and structuring your pages.\nSession 3 (18 Feb) — Content & Plugins: writing pages that work for real people and search engines\, adding the right plugins\, and keeping your site secure.\nSession 4 (25 Feb) — 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\, running weekly through February. 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?
