Frequently Asked Questions

about Website Weekend

Why is this course using WordPress?

WordPress is an incredibly popular platform and nearly 20% of all self-hosted sites on the planet are powered by WordPress. It's SEO friendly, constantly updated and most important of all, free. It plays well with third party services and there is a plugin for achieving basically anything. You can start with a DIY option like this, and develop your site into a custom site should your future needs require it. No need for migrating or changing platforms.

I use WordPress for my own websites as well as most clients.

I've heard WordPress is more complicated than Wix or Weebly

This course uses a Drag & Drop editor that is seriously fun to use. There are templates included to get you going on designing your own pages, or you can start from scratch.

It's easy as pie to change fonts and colours. I've made this as easy as possible to make it accessible to the newest of newbie.

How long does the course go for?

This is an 8 week course with weekly support calls.

You can complete this course in less than a week if you're pressed for time. You will have access to the course material for as long as you like to make sure you can go back and review modules and take it in your own time.

You have access to the Facebook group forever!

Do you offer refunds?

Definitely! We want you to love your new website, so if for some reason you're not happy we are pleased to offer a 7 day no questions asked refund, minus a $50 AUD admin fee.

Your website will be deleted off the server and your membership revoked.

We've tried to give as much information as possible beforehand so you know exactly what you're getting before you hit that purchase button, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm no good with techy stuff, will this work for me?

Absolutely. This course is designed with you in mind! We've made everything as easy to understand as possible, and taken out all the bits that you don't need to do yourself.

I already have a website, can it stay live while I build this new one?

Yes! Your website will live on a temporary domain until you're ready to reveal it to the world. Once you're ready, you will connect your domain name using the tutorials in the course.

It's easier to connect the domain name in the beginning but it's not necessary.

I want other pages than the ones included, can I create new ones?

Yes, you can create unlimited pages and blog posts on your site and the course goes through how.

There are convenient templates included to help you along the way, you can also create pages from scratch.

I already have web hosting, do I have to use yours?

We use premium managed WordPress hosting and at this point we're not offering the course using your own hosting.

This is to make sure you receive the best service and so we can ensure technical difficulties are kept to a minimum.

The first year of web hosting is included in the course fee so if you want to keep your existing hosting, you are free to migrate your site over once you're finished with the course.

Your web hosting provider might be able to help you with this.

What are the ongoing costs?

You can enjoy a discounted hosting fee of $199/year (WP Engine's prices at the moment are $420/year) and all the licences for updating premium plugins are taken care of by us for as long as you host with us.

If you set up an email with G suite their cost is $5/month per user.
