Description

Are you more interested in running your business, pursuing your hobbies, and exploring your passions than fussing over your website?

This course was created especially for busy entrepreneurs, authors, artists, do-gooders, non-profit organizations, volunteers, and hobbyists who just want to focus on doing their work, NOT on the million and one steps it takes to design and run a good website.

It's for complete beginners with zero web design experience as well as those with little to no web design budget at all.

This quick and easy course will show you how to:

  • Make stunning and professional-looking websites the quick and easy way in about 1 hour using free online tools

  • Know how to plan a web site and make images web-ready and high quality

  • Take your regular logo and put it on a transparent background in four minutes or less

  • Be up and running fast using the most essential and useful tools in Wix

  • Get a birds-eye view of the design process from concept to final product

In this course I'll show you step by step how I created a website for the non-profit organization, PK Rabbit Rescue. I start from the very beginning and show you the most essential and important features of the Wix dashboard and interface.

I'll show you how to get started making posts, pages, and managing all aspects of your Wix website so that by the end of the day today you can already add a new skill to your CV or resume and be easily running your own website ASAP.

----

I'm a practicing award-winning multimedia artist and a former tenured Associate Professor of Digital Media and Program Director of Film & Digital Media at The American University of Rome (2006-2016). I'm currently a Digital Media and Animation Specialist at United Nations Population Fund Malawi.

Since 2000 I've been teaching students all over the world using my tried and true custom approach (turning complex information into something simple, memorable, easy-to-understand in as short amount of time as possible) to ensure that you get the most important, relevant, and useful information that can be applied immediately.

Who is this course for?

  • Absolute beginners, design and web novices, and people who fight with computers and technology will get A LOT out of this course
  • People with little to no budget for web hosting, domain names, and web design services should take this course
  • This course was designed especially for busy people who want to be up and running ASAP
  • People looking for an in-depth Wix course that covers every tool and feature should NOT take this course. Here, we are only using the most useful tools and techniques for getting started quickly and easily.

Requirements

No special design or web knowledge is needed. Only basic computer skills (such as being able to copy and paste text, save images, and use the Internet) are needed

Susan asked:

Hi, Once I have completed the course, will I be able to go back onto it if I need to, as it would help me to watch again when building my website?

Answer:

Dear Susan, My apologies for the slow reply. I was traveling in rural Malawi and didn't have reliable internet access. It's my understanding that you can come back to the course as much as you would like for as long as you would like. If you have any issues, please do get in touch with me and I'll be happy to help with any specific questions you may have. Best wishes, Kristen

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
