Awesome-Author Website Basics
What if you could have a website that would meet your needs whether you're a beginner or a NYT best-selling author? 

What if it could be affordable and easy to maintain? 

What if you could have someone hold your hand and walk you through the entire process? 

Welcome to the Crazy Easy Awesome Author Website taught by Lisa Norman (Heart Ally Books, LLC and Deleyna's Dynamic Designs). 

We'll cover each part of a website. I'll help you choose a hosting company, get a domain name, set up the space, and build a website using the most popular platform for writers: WordPress. We'll cover how to create your email sign-up forms and even integrate the site with your social media platforms.

Learn how to secure your website to keep it as safe as possible. 

Create your proven online author platform without pain. 

Lisa is available every step of the way, including doing a hands-on review of your site. You'll learn what to do to maintain it, and how to update and make changes. 

By the end of this class you'll have a beautiful, personalized author's website that will make you proud. 

Note: a website has to live somewhere. This may incur hosting fees. We'll talk through the options in class and each student will make their own choices about where their site will live. Free options will be included, but the best results will include purchasing hosting. Fees associated with setting up the website are not included in the cost of the course.
