How to Set Up a Responsive Website with Premium Theme & Skin

A step-by-step guide to creating a professional looking, mobile responsive website

***** Last UPDATED in November 2016 *****

In this course, you will get an over-the-shoulder view as I build a responsive website using WordPress together with a premium theme and skin.

This course is actually the first course in my Writer Platform series, which looks at how authors and other creatives can become visible online, engage with their readers or customers and ultimately sell more books and other digital products.

And I believe, whether you are a writer or another type of creative (or pretty much any type of freelancer), it is vitally important that you have your own online presence.

This all begins with the creation of a professional looking, responsive website.

And in the first part of this course, I am going to take you through, step-by-step:

• How to choose a domain name for your website
• How to choose and then set up suitable hosting for your website
• How to propagate your domain to your hosting account
• How to install WordPress and configure the basic settings

The second part of the course requires that you purchase both a Premium theme called Thesis and a premium skin called Effectus.

This requires some financial outlay, but in my opinion this is quite a small investment if you are serious about making a living, or even a part-time income from your art.

In this part of the course, I will show you:

• How to set up the Thesis theme to get your website running super fast and benefit from the inbuilt Search Engine Optimisation features of Thesis
• How to set up and customise the Effectus Skin to get an original, professional looking website that is truly mobile responsive
• How to create and add a Header for your website

Feel free to check out the preview videos that I have enabled for the course, to give you an idea of my teaching style and to determine whether this course is right for you.

And I hope to see you on the inside.
