Everything you need to know before setting up a website
If you’re thinking of setting up a new website, whether you’re planning to build it yourself or hire someone to do it for you, then this webinar is for you.
In this webinar we’ll go right back to basics and walk you through the whole website development process from start to finish, outlining the key decisions you need to make at each stage.
We’ll help you understand what needs to be done, how much each element should cost, where you can do things yourself and where it’s probably better to get expert help.

Why Awesome Tech Training?
We are Steve, Lorna and Rachel - three friends who have worked together on and off for more than 25 years. Each of us has (many!) years of experience in different aspects of digital marketing and web development.
We’ve always enjoyed working together and in 2019 we decided to formalise this arrangement and so we set up Awesome Tech Training. Rachel is based in the UK home counties, whilst Lorna and Steve are based near Dundalk in Ireland.
Over the past few years we’ve build a range of webinars and other training courses firmly based on our own experiences of marketing, sales and web development in the real world.
We’ve been at this for a while, so we know what the pitfalls are, what can go wrong, what the most common problems are and how to address them!
We try and bring this real world, practical approach into everything that we do – offering webinar attendees and other clients the benefit of our own experience to apply to their specific circumstances.
Our clients tend to be small businesses who don’t have the resource to outsource their whole marketing operation and want to be able to take control of it themselves.
Our training is designed to be affordable, practically focused and results oriented so you can start putting what you’ve learned into practice immediately and get quick results.
More than 5,000 people have come on our webinars – see what our customers say about us here.

Helen Tilley
Another brilliant webinar, so much useful information, tips and hints. I'm so pleased you record too, so I can go back to things I missed! This is normally a lot as I get so inspired to go off on tangents to look into all the useful things! Or it triggers me to think of other considerations for my business. For someone who can be a bit overwhelmed by the enormity of the digital world, Awesome Tech Training help make things much simpler and easy to understand and apply, particularly as a small and start up business. Many thanks and I look forward to upcoming webinars!

I've been on 4 webinars now and these guys really know their stuff. I have thrown some curveball questions, and some that tip a little bit out of the remit of the course, and they have still answered clearly and helpfully. They've really helped me to improve not only my website but my ad campaigns as well. I am yet to try their free half hour 1-1 but I am happy it's something I have at my disposal when I have my thoughts in order! Â

Attended a free webinar with them and WOW! I learnt so many valuable things that is not normally the case with free sessions. Really informative with high quality actions and suggestions with a lot of free resources as well. Will definitely keep a look out for other events from them.
