What Will I Learn?

• Create a custom website from scratch using the super simple platform, Squarespace.
• Setup a trial Squarespace account, no credit card required at all.
• Dive into Squarespace's interface and learn all of its essential functions and tools.
• Take an existing website and give it a complete redesign. We'll use it as an example throughout the entire course, so you can be with me through every step of the process.
• You'll learn what every single function of building a webpage is, like how to add content, images, titles, blog posts, video, ecommerce products, and portfolio projects to your site.
• I'll teach you all about images for the web; where to get them, and how to budget for them, while making money in the process. I'll also show you pro tips on how to find free, awesome, license-free stock images.
• I'll show you how to master the 'Style Editor" so creating custom branding to your site is a breeze.
• I'll teach you the basics and importance of SEO and how to properly optimize images for the web.
• You learn how to create a sitemap and how to get it approved by the client, so that your site is highly organized.
• I'll show you how to create products for sale, turning your site into an eCommerce website.
• You'll learn how to buy a domain for your client and configure and point it correctly to your site.
• I'll walk you through every step of launching the new site.

Requirements

• All you really need to take this course is a computer with decent internet. If you like to take notes, have a pen and paper handy.
• We will need to sign up for a free trial Squarespace account, and I'll walk you through every step.
• This course is taught from screen recordings, designed so you can get the best grasp, from learning by watching.
• We'll be taking an existing, poorly designed website and use all of its content to create a new, freshly designed website.
• I will break the course down into 7, easily digestible sections.

Target audience

• No prior programming or coding knowledge AT ALL is required to take this course.
• This is the perfect course if you are a beginner web designer and want to pick up more web design clients. It is an incredible easy-to-follow course.
• I employ the ELI5 ("explain it like I'm 5") teaching method, so this course is designed for all skill levels. I have created the course with newbies designers in mind, but anyone that wants to build a website but is scared of the idea of coding should take this course.
• This course is also great for business owners that are on a budget, who do not have the funds to hire a professional designer.
• This is not for the highly experienced coder or web developer, but I'll show some pro tips and tricks that a medium level design may not know.
• This is more than a "how to design a website" course. It's more about how to create a well oiled web design business. I've made sure to include tons of ways to earn passive income.
