Everyone knows that to be visible in business, you need a website. And it doesn’t have to be super fancy, but if you want to be found, you need to be online.
Think about this. If you need to find a product, service or information, what do you do first? Most people turn to Google and type in a search. So, if you don’t have a website, you’re missing out on new customers finding you.
But when you’re starting and funds are stretched, getting quotes of $2,500 upwards to build a website can be a little disheartening.
This is why so many new business owners decide to design their own website.
And this is a great idea – if you know all the crucial steps you must take to build your website correctly from the start.
Getting it wrong is a costly mistake. You’ll end up restarting from scratch or paying a website designer to fix it for you.
Our DIY online WordPress course will guide you through the process step-by-step to build your website. And you’ll have an experienced WordPress website designer with you the entire way to answer any questions you have.

Back in 2008, I started up a virtual assistant business, and like many new business owners, I didn’t have an endless supply of start-up money.
I was using Twitter and Facebook but quickly realised I was getting nowhere without a website. So, like many of you may have tried (or considered), I decided to give a WordPress website a shot.
OMG, it was a long haul! The amount of time I spent researching, fixing mistakes and ‘playing’ was incredible. But I got there – eventually.
A client who had seen what I achieved asked me to create her website and I jumped at the chance to hone my skills.
Long story short, I’ve now been running a hugely successful web design company for over 11 years. I’ve built over 300 websites and invested in courses to learn all the tricks to help my clients build websites that attract more traffic and convert.
There’s nothing I love more than seeing my clients happy with their website that’s now receiving double (some triple) enquiry rates!
If you’re going to the effort of building your WordPress website, it makes perfect sense to learn all the SEO tricks to get it ranking in Google quickly.
Over 6 weeks, you’ll learn exactly how Google reads your website, what to optimise, and how to get your website as close to (or on) page one of Google. I’ll share with you the exact, tried and tested process I use to get my clients on page one of Google.
Each week is broken down into easy to follow steps with videos, worksheets, checklists and more.
You can do this course at your own pace (if you can’t commit to 6 weeks, don’t stress) and you get lifetime access to the materials.
No you don’t need any coding knowledge. The eCourse will be using Divi which is a theme that comes with a page builder to allow you to create many different layouts.
You will need the following to do the eCourse (or at least to be able to build your website). A domain name, website hosting and the Divi Theme. This will cost you around $200 AUD depending on which providers you decide to use.
All of this will be covered in the eCourse and will have different price levels depending on needs.
I would recommend around 8 hours to watch the videos and do the worksheets.
To actually add your content and design your pages it can take a little longer but will vary depending on the size of the website and the amount of content you need to create.
Immediately! As soon as you enroll and your first payment is received, you will have access to all of the modules and lessons, including any bonuses and downloads. You can review them at your own pace at any time.
If you don’t get the results promised in this course, which is a fully functioning WordPress website, I will gladly refund your money within 14 days of purchase.
The only catch is that you show me that you actually went through the entire course, completed the downloads and all of the steps outlined in the modules, and still didn’t have a functioning website at the end. If at that point you aren’t happy with your results, I’ll gladly issue you a refund.
