Build a Better Website

Kate Lo — Sat, 16 May 2026 09:00:00 +0000

16 May @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

Ready to get your website working for you?

After her hugely popular events in other regions, we’re delighted to welcome Bex to the NW. She’ll help us to look at the core ingredients that go into a website and practically show you how to apply them. Over the course of the day we’ll delve deeper into brand voice, website strategy, website content and SEO basics.

Throughout the workshop, we’ll have breaks to start to practically implement what’s been discussed and you can ask any questions along the way.

By the end of our time together, you’ll have:
– basic brand voice guidelines you can apply to ensure consistent messaging (with exercises you can do in your own time to go deeper)
– A plan on the web pages you want to create and how you’ll lay it out
– An overview on how to write your key pages with a template you can use to think about keywords for discoverability and CTAs for user experience
– The beginnings of some web copy
– Answers to burning questions

Bring your laptops, creativity and questions!
