FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

How does The Weekend Website work?

  1. Invest in The Weekend Website by the deadline (3 days before the course start date).
  2. Follow the pre-coursework instructions in your Membership Dashboard for your domain, branding, etc. (For example, you’ll have to add Kim to your domain so she can set up your website for you to log in on Day 1.)
  3. Request access to the private Facebook group to introduce yourself. Pin this group so you can go back and ask questions!
  4. Schedule time to attend the live training with no distractions.
  5. Continue building your website after the training is complete!

How will this help me?

Over a weekend, you’ll learn how to use WordPress to make your own website. You’ll go from no website to a simple yet awesome responsive website during our live training. That means better SEO (search engine optimization) for your business!

Will this work if I already have a website?

Yes, but you will need to contact us at create@theweekend.website if your website is anything other than WordPress!

We can save all of your content on your existing WordPress site and move it to the new theme.

Can I do this with no tech skills?

Yes, you can! We will show you how to work with WordPress, the theme, plugins, etc. You don’t need to be a coder. As long as you know how to somewhat work your computer ????, you’ll be just fine!

Will I be able to add more to my website after the course?

Heck, yes! I’ll even show you how to duplicate pages to make the process even easier! You can make your own photo updates, content updates, and more…easily.
