Build Your Website in a Day

A Hands-On WordPress Workshop for Arcadia Businesses

Are you a local business owner who needs a website — but keeps putting it off?

Maybe you’ve looked into it…
Maybe you’ve been quoted thousands…
Maybe you started and got stuck…

I’m hosting a small, hands-on workshop designed specifically for Arcadia business owners who want to launch their own website — properly, professionally, and confidently.

This isn’t a lecture.
This is a working session.

By the end of the day, you will have your website built and live.


💡 Why I’m Offering This

Through ExploreArcadia.ca, I’ve seen how many amazing local businesses either:

  • Don’t have a website
  • Have an outdated one
  • Or feel overwhelmed trying to start

I created this workshop to help local businesses build a strong online presence — affordably and independently.


📍 What You’ll Walk Away With

✔ Your own domain name
✔ Professional hosting set up
✔ WordPress installed and configured
✔ Core website pages created
✔ Your site live by the end of the day
✔ Confidence to update and manage it yourself

Plus — your business will be listed on ExploreArcadia.ca.


🛠 What We’ll Build

During the workshop, we’ll create:

  • Home Page
  • About Page
  • Services or Products Page
  • Contact Page
  • Basic SEO setup
  • Contact form
  • Navigation menu
  • Mobile-friendly layout

Everything step-by-step — together.

This includes:

  • Domain name registration
