Get Online: Build Your Site in a Day
Social media is crowded and chaotic. A website is different. It's a space you control, designed exactly how you want it, showing your work on your terms.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll build a clean, functional one-page site using Framer that helps you get jobs, land clients, secure grants, or simply make it easy for people to find and connect with your work.
We'll cover why you want to be visible online and what you want that presence to accomplish, how to shape your content into a narrative that matches your goals, building and customizing your site in Framer (no coding required), and strategies to drive visibility and invite collaboration.
By the end of the session, you'll have a live site that represents you authentically and opens doors.
What to bring: Laptop, examples of your work (images, text, links), and a packed lunch. Coffee, tea, and light snacks provided throughout the day.
Note on costs: The workshop fee doesn't include hosting or custom domain costs, but all design work can be completed before committing to a hosting plan or domain purchase. I can support with setting those up during the session if you're ready.
All experience levels welcome.
