Build Your Website
This month’s Coaching Circle will guide you step-by-step through building your own website — from the big picture decisions to hands-on demos using popular platforms.
Session #1: Introduction to Building a Website
In this session we will be kicking off with the essentials:
- Choosing the right platform for your business needs.
- Website design basics that make your site user-friendly and professional.
- Must-have pages (Home, About, Products/Services, Contact form, FAQs, Testimonials).
- Content tips, including how to use your brand story and photos effectively (with links to our Brand Story and Photography workshops).
- An introduction to SEO and simple ways to help your customers find you online.
Over the following weeks, we’ll dive into live demos of different tools and platforms. You’ll see how each works and start building alongside the group, gaining confidence in the process.
Session #2: TemplateWebsite.Co
The One Hour Website.
Plan and launch your website in under an hour – completely free! Includes free website hosting using a free domain, guided walkthrough and resources so you don’t have to wing it ever again. Includes a Q&A session for 10 mins at the end.
Session # 3: Shopify
Session #4: Intro on Wx, Squarespace and Canva Websites
Follow-up Working Groups
On 13 & 27 November, join smaller breakout sessions grouped by platform. This is your chance to work on your own site, problem-solve with peers, and get support in real time- we will confirm details of the follow up sessions soon.
By the end of the Coaching Circle, you’ll have the foundations of your website in place — and the confidence to keep building and refining it as your business grows.
What’s a Coaching Circle?
Coaching Circles are live group 4-week programs, each focusing on a specific business topic. Each month, a new expert will coach a group of Sisters through a facet of running and growing a successful business. Learn from each other, work through your challenges, and build a supportive community. Plus, take them all and you’ll soon be a business expert too.
Coaching Circles are right for you, if…
Your business foundations are in place
You’re eager to learn from experts
You need help setting and achieving goals
You want the support of other Sisters
By the end of the October Coaching Circle: Build Your Website, participants will:

- Have a clear plan and structure for their own website, tailored to their business goals and audience
- Gain hands-on experience using popular tools with confidence to continue building independently
- Know how to create compelling content – from writing copy that connects with customers to using photography and brand story to showcase their business
- Be introduced to SEO basics, with practical tips to make their website more visible in search engines
- Receive peer and facilitator support through follow-up working groups, with opportunities for problem-solving, sharing challenges, and getting platform-specific guidance
- Walk away with the foundations of a live website (or a strong draft), plus the know-how to refine and grow it over time.
