Creating a good website is more than just using drop and drag templates.

From website design that takes your viewers on a journey, to finding the right photos, or writing that keeps people on the page, there's more to website creation than just knowing how to use the program.

This camp will...

  • help you take your idea and turn it into a finished website.

  • show you where to get quality legit copyright free images and resources for your site.

  • teach you the secrets that professional web designers use to get people to come to their site and stick around.

  • teach you how to use the Weebly and Google Sites website builders.

You have an idea, but...

you're not sure how to get started.

I'm your gal! I'm here to help newbies like you figure out how to take your website idea and turn it into reality. I've created many websites for myself, and through much trial and error, learned what not to do. This camp will help you save yourself the time and frustration of having to learn website design the hard way. I'll also show you some cool stuff along the way that will really make your website stand out!
