Your Website Copy

Lesson Progress:

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN THIS WEEK?

Everything this week will be about websites. You will need to, not only play around with the sites discussed, but also choose one to move forward with (ugh, decisions). So take the time that you need to play with the different services so that you're making the best decision for you!

Then you're going to start planning out your website. If you feel unsure about anything, do some research by looking at websites that you love and seeing how they word things, what they include on a page or even how they lay it all out.

This week is going to be intense with research but I want you to go into creating your website with all the information so that you aren't having to redo the whole thing six months from now (been there, done that, bought the tshirt).
