Quick Web: Plan first for a fast build

You've been without a website long enough. Draft the structure and pages you need to build fast, whether DIY or with a pro.

Every performer and independent artist needs a website of their own, so people can learn about them when the moment strikes. But so many go without, and don't need to. With so many website-building options available these days, you can put together a good-looking site in hours, even minutes.

This is an important investment in your future, and with some help and a few hours' effort, your new site will be better, more versatile and far more effective. Whether you're looking for a quick solution like Weebly or Squarespace, or gearing up to hire a pro to build you a customer site, planning ahead will give you better results, and can save you loads of money. It can also save headaches later by setting up the structure you need to maintain control over your content for the foreseeable future.

In this workshop, we'll show you the steps that set you up for success, avoiding some common pitfalls and teaching you enough so you can have more useful conversations with tech support and designers. You'll leave with valuable materials and diagrams to lead you through the site-planning process, and a clearer vision of your future home in cyberspace. Whether you're building your first site or planning a custom masterpiece, this is where to start.
