TRYING TO BUILD A WEBSITE ON YOUR OWN, BUT YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO START?

Building an effective website on your own without any design experience can be really stressful and overwhelming . . .

SOME OF THE ISSUES DIY'ERS EXPERIENCE USUALLY INCLUDE:

  • Conflicting advice on where to even BUILD their website

  • Frustration over how to design an ATTRACTIVE website, or how to customize a template without ruining it.

  • Falling victim to very common Design Sins that actually REPEL website visitors, simply because they have no design experience.

  • Having absolutely NO IDEA what content to actually put ON their website, leading to a complete lack of content strategy.

  • Spending MONTHS at Google University getting an honorary degree in Web Design just to build 1 website (And they will have forgotten everything by the time they need to update their website).

  • Ending up with a website that doesn't bring them leads and just sits there, costing money, month after month, leading them to think having a website is pointless.

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO JUST SKIP ALL OF THAT?

Just imagine being able to build your own website, WITHOUT any design skills or knowledge of conversion strategy, and having your own beautiful custom website (that works!) built in as little as ONE WEEK!

FINALLY! A TOOL FOR NON-DESIGNERS!

Never worry about your design decisions again!

Build a website for your service-based business from the ground-up, following super simple step-by-step video tutorials that walk you through every inch of your web design journey.

SHIRLEY MAKES BUILDING A WEBSITE EASY.

I just want to say that Shirley is amazing. The tool kit that she built to help people design a website is amazing. It is so detailed and literally goes through every step of the process. She has thought of everything. Shirley makes building a website easy, especially for people with limited design skills. This is a much needed product.

WHO IS THIS TOOLKIT FOR?

This Toolkit was created -SPECIFICALLY- for Online Service Providers (Not shops or blogs) who fit the following criteria:

  • You need a simple, brochure-style website for your service-based business, but you can't afford to work with a web designer

  • You've tried other website builders or templates in the past, but you still felt lost and frustrated

  • You're ready to say "good-bye" to the Website Building Overwhelm and build a beautiful website that WORKS!

BUILT ON SQUARESPACE!

For A Super Easy-To-Use Website Experience!

I built this Toolkit using Squarespace because I 100% believe that Squarespace is the BEST website builder for Service-Based Businesses who just need a simple website for their business.

WHY IS SQUARESPACE MY FAVORITE WEBSITE BUILDER?

Squarespace offers ease, convenience and service that would leave your head spinning if you've used a certain OTHER website builder before

  • Simple and intuitive Drag-And-Drop website builder - So you don't feel intimidated updating your own website

  • Fully Managed Hosting - You don't have to deal with updating your website template or plugins, EVER!

  • No Design Hiccups - Following that last point, you won't have to worry about your website looking weird after updating your theme or plugin. Like what happens on that OTHER website builder.

  • Excellent Customer Support - Unlike a certain OTHER popular website builder, Squarespace has excellent customer support (ie: They actually HAVE support). So you can reach out for help with your website whenever there's a problem!

  • Full Peace Of Mind - If your website stops working, Squarespace is working on it before you even know anything's wrong.

IT TAKES OUT ALL THE THINKING

After going through the Demo with Shirley, I can see how comprehensive this toolkit is and how it takes out all the thinking around the different elements of building a website. I'm so relieved to see that Shirley has simplified the process, but also focused on how to create a beautiful website.

SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

Take a peek inside your Toolkit . . .

SELECT YOUR COLOR PALETTE

Over 50 to choose from!

Don’t worry about what colors to use on your website. Choose from nearly 50 pre-created color palettes (and counting!) carefully paired to work together as well as be be color-blind accessible with good contrast.

WHAT MAKES THIS AWESOME?

  • Perfectly Paired Palettes

    These color palettes have been carefully created so that all the colors work harmoniously together. No thinking or tweaking, just plug-and-play.

  • Checked for Contrast and Color-Blind Accessibility

    Colors have been checked to make sure that they can be easily distinguished between by those with different types of color-blindness, as well as to make sure text is easy to read on various backgrounds.

  • You'll know how to USE them!

    You aren't just handed colors with no guidance! You'll get recommendations on what colors to use as backgrounds, and what colors to use ON those backgrounds.

PICK YOUR FONT COMBO

Over 50 to choose from!

The perfect fonts really add personality to your website and your brand. Pick the font combo that speaks to you out of nearly 50 (and counting!) carefully paired font combinations that provide a wide range of vibes for your website.

CREATE YOUR OWN LOGOS!

Over 40 to choose from!

Use my growing collection of logo templates to create the various logos you need for your website, including your unique browser icon. These templates make creating a custom logo for your business quick and painless.

CREATE YOUR BRAND STYLE GUIDE

Once you add your fonts and colors to your Squarespace template, all you need to do is pick the page templates you like and fill in the content prompts! It really is that easy!

WHAT MAKES THIS AWESOME?

  • You Know Exactly What To Say!

    With content prompts going down every page, you'll won't be stuck scrambling for ideas on what to put on each page!

YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS

I've Got Answers

  • Couldn't I do all of they on my own?

    Technically yes. BUT! As a Non-Designer, there are a PLETHORA of design rules and conversion strategies that you just don't know about. And since you don't know what you don't know . . . that makes it more than a little difficult to successfully research on your own. And even harder to build an -effective- website. I say "effective" because it's not hard to build -A- website. But a website needs to do more than just exist in order to actually work.

  • How long will it take for me to get through this?

    If you buckle down and work straight through the Toolkit, you -CAN- finish in less than a week. However, how long it ACTUALLY takes you depends entirely on the amount of time you put into each step. The most time consuming part of the process will be selecting your images and writing your content, each of which can take one or two days each. Whereas Section One CAN be done entirely in 1 day.

  • Is this Toolkit for a SPECIFIC website builder, or can I use any website builder I want?

    This Toolkit is SPECIFIC to Squarespace. So if you don't want to build a website for your Service-Based business on Squarespace (I can't imagine why not . . .) then you DON'T want this Toolkit

  • Is this Toolkit better for a SPECIFIC kind of business?

    This Toolkit was built SPECIFICALLY with Online Service Providers in mind who only want a simple, brochure-style website for their business.

  • Can I use this Toolkit to build an eCommerce website or a Blog?

    That would be a solid "No" on the eCommerce website. And the Toolkit isn't specifically set up to create a Blog. This Toolkit is designed and set-up to provide information on how to work with an Online Service Provider.

  • You say this Toolkit ISN'T for Shops or Blogs. Does that mean I CAN'T ADD ONE?

    Oh, you can 100% ADD a shop or a blog to your Squarespace Template. The reason I say THIS Toolkit isn't FOR shops or blogs is because there is no specific guidance provided FOR it in the course. So you'd need to figure it out on your own (Or book me for a Strategy Session 😉 ). But you CAN add a shop or blog if you want to. I just don't help with that in this Toolkit. 🙂

  • Dang! I missed Beta Registration! How long will Early Release last?

    If you weren't able to grab this Toolkit at the Beta price of $99, you can still get in early for $249 until the results from the Beta Testers come in. Once I have feedback and reviews, THE PRICE WILL BE INCREASING TO $500.

  • What if I don't like my website? Can I get a refund?

    This Toolkit contains HUNDREDS of hours of custom pre-created design elements which, due to the nature of digital products, CANNOT be returned. And for that reason, refunds are not available.

ARE YOU READY TO SKIP THE OVERWHELM AND DIVE STRAIGHT INTO SUCCESSFUL WEBSITE BLISS?

This Toolkit packs a punch, and it won't be this affordable for long! So if you want access to a step-by-step process that helps you build your own CUSTOM website even with NO design experience, then be sure to grab your spot while it's ONLY $495

Shirley Dodson

Shirley's been building websites for 20 years, and in that time has developed a passion for helping Service-Based Businesses build their own website while avoiding very common "DIY Sins" that cause websites to be less effective or straight up repel website visitors. Feeling driven to find a solution that would simplify the website building process for clients with ZERO design experience (or skills), she constructed this Toolkit where all of the DESIGN decisions have already been made, effectively taking the overwhelm out of the web design process!
