In 40 Days to a DIY Website, you’ll learn how to register a domain, get hosting for your website, install WordPress, and use it effectively. The course begins with a big-picture strategy to help you determine the purpose and function of your site. It then focuses on helping you iron out details like content. It’s more than just a WordPress nuts-and-bolts tutorial; it’s a comprehensive strategy for designing the perfect website.

40 Days to a DIY Website is divided into ten 4-day courses. Each course employs a 4-day “WARP method” — watch, act, reflect, plan — to ensure you’ve had time to think through everything you need to do and keep from getting overwhelmed.

• In the first day of each course, you’ll watch a video laying out the tasks encompassed in that course.
• On day two, you’ll take an action step to aid you in completing your site.
• The third day gives you time to reflect on what you’ve done so far and what areas need improvement and completion.
• The fourth day gives you the opportunity to plan ahead for what’s coming next.

The Basic package gives you access to all ten courses via email. Each morning for 40 days, you’ll receive an email with instructions for that day’s tasks. The Enhanced package gives you access to the courses and also includes one year of hosting and domain registration*. The Ultimate package includes access to the courses, one year of hosting and domain registration, and a custom logo**.
