Build a Website in an Afternoon

Most people don't fail to build a website because the tools are too hard. They fail because they sit down without a plan, stare at a blank canvas, and start making decisions they weren't ready to make. This course removes that problem before it starts. You'll work through a four-unit sequence that takes you from "I need a website" to a live, professional site, in the right order: what the site needs to do, how it should look, what it should say, and then, only then, how to build it. Each unit is built around one idea: that good decisions made early make everything downstream easier. You'll learn enough design to stop second-guessing your choices, enough copywriting to write pages that actually convert visitors into customers, and enough about how websites work to use AI-assisted tools effectively instead of just hoping they produce something good. The build phase becomes assembly rather than improvisation, because by the time you get there, you've already made the hard decisions. By the end, you'll have a site you're not embarrassed to share, a repeatable process you can use again, and a clear sense of when you can handle future changes yourself and when it's worth bringing in a developer. This course won't turn you into a web developer. It will make you the kind of person who doesn't need one for most things.
