Launch with Laura - DOULA CLASS

About Launch With Laura...

Launch It With Laura is an online, group class that will meet 1x a week over a 4 week period.  By the end of the class every student will have a finished website! 

I will use slideshows and video presentations to teach you, step by step,  how to create a website.  I will also work with you one-on-one to help you design a piece of "art" for your website, as well as to to specifically talk about changes and tweaks you need to make on your site.

Classes will NOT be live as it is impossible to coordinate everyone's schedules.  Instead, each class will be released Sunday mornings.  You can watch the class any time you want, over and over again!  

Weebly is THE EASIEST website builder to use.  It is NOT Wordpress, so your website will have limitations BUT the trade off is you will feel comfortable making changes to your website without using a programmer.

Here are some websites I created using Weebly so you know what your site may look like at the end:
