TECHBOOTCAMPS (http://www.TECHBOOTCAMPS.com/2-day) teaches a range of website building courses using a variety of technologies. In these 2-day weekend boot camps, we teach you how to build your first company, organization, or personal website. If you have some doubts as to whether you like website building, then this is a good introduction to CMS type website tools. All CMS means is that the content is stored in ‘boxes’ and you can move those boxes all over the page without having to dive into the code to do it.
When you come to this type of course, we’re going to make you self-sufficient. You will be able to add pages, change content and otherwise alter all of the various elements of the web site – without having to pay a web developer. It’s so easy, that you’ll be wondering why you didn’t do it before.
The cost is $80 and that’s going to be A LOT CHEAPER than hiring a web developer to do even a single page. And then there’s the cost of continued maintenance.
If you have your URL (website address) already, just bring it along. You’ll be able to point your URL at the new site you build. If you don’t have one – don’t worry. We’ll show you how to do that as well.
Need it to be mobile-friendly, we’ll show you that as well. So break lose your ideas and start your new website today.
