Build It Right, Right From the Start
A one-day class for people who want a real website without the tech headaches. (SEATS ARE LIMITED)
Let’s be real: in today’s world, your website is your storefront, your sales pitch, and your credibility — all rolled into one. And yet, somehow, the process of getting online still feels like you need a computer science degree, a massive budget, or a cousin in IT.
That’s where this class comes in.
The Bangor Media Website Workshop is a fast-paced, hands-on experience that takes you from zero to “I actually get this now.” You’ll learn how to buy a domain, set up hosting, install WordPress, build your site, and get it listed on Google — all in a single day, with real guidance and no jargon.
It’s not a slideshow. It’s not a lecture.
It’s a conversation. A working session. A no-pressure, high-impact day led by people who do this stuff for a living — and know how to teach it without making you feel dumb.
Who This Class Is For
Small business owners tired of chasing web developers
Nonprofits and community groups working on tight budgets
Freelancers, creatives, and side hustlers building a brand
Anyone who’s ever said “I just need a simple website, but I don’t know where to start”
No experience? No problem.
Tried it before and got lost? Even better. We’ll clear it all up.
What You’ll Learn
This isn’t theory. It’s real-world stuff you’ll actually use:
How to register a domain and connect it to hosting
Installing and configuring WordPress (no mystery buttons)
Choosing and customizing a theme that looks sharp
Building pages, setting up menus, and adding contact forms
Adding features with plugins — without breaking your site
Basic SEO using Yoast and Google Search Console
Submitting your site to Google so people can actually find you
Maintenance, security, and update tips that aren’t overwhelming
Live Q&A and real-time troubleshooting — based on your setup
We’ll walk through it all, step-by-step. You’ll build your own site as we go.
What You Get
Clear, honest instruction that makes sense
A USB drive loaded with materials, templates, and guides
A printed workbook (not just slides you’ll throw away)
A notebook and pen — yep, we’re old school like that
Lunch and light refreshments (because hungry brains don’t learn)
One hour of free post-class support
A room full of people just like you, asking the same questions
