Create a Responsive Author Website with NO Prior Experience

New to self publishing and need an author website?

This course will walk you step-by-step, through the details of creating a complete, professional, responsivewebsite and it's a LOT easier than you might think.

You will learn how to:

• Set up your webserver / hosting site
• Set up your WordPress installation
• Operate the "backend" of your new website
• Create the page framework necessary for your site
• Setup basic options for a professional installation
• Install new responsive website themes to change the look and feel of the site
• Customize themes to suit your needs
• Create your site content and post blog entries
• Build a beautiful sliding home page banner to showcase your book(s)
• Upload your own graphics
• Create a secure contact form
• Create an email signup form

You can create a really nice site with very little effort and even less money! I have created dozens of websites on many platforms and have created this course to teach to independent authors, like myself, the most effective method of creating a great author website.

In over ten years of web development I have found WordPress to be the most powerful and easy-to-use platform out there and it is continually getting better with each update.

Whether you want a blog that you can post articles to directly from your iPhone or Android, or if you want just a static informational website, this course will cover it. We'll discuss what kind of content you should provide, as an author and how best to provide it. I'll give you a simple way to collect email addresses of your fans so that you can contact them with future news.

I hope you enjoy the course – please contact me with any questions!
