The Full Guide explains the process, Down & Dirty shows you where to click, and Skinny Mini provides a handy checklist of the essentials. These guides are interactive and connected, allowing you to move easily between a detailed chapter, its corresponding step-by-step instructions, and the Skinny Mini checklist whenever you need them.

Read a chapter over morning coffee. Follow a Down & Dirty step while working in WordPress. Print the PDF instructions and keep them beside your keyboard.

Move between the three learning paths whenever you need more explanation, a visual example, or a quick reminder. The guide is yours to download and keep. Its instructional materials work offline, although you’ll need internet access to build and publish your actual website.

Why I Created Website Guide 101

“I retired from building websites for others. Now I’m helping you build your own.”

After more than 40 years working with technology and websites, I’ve retired from building websites for clients, but I haven’t stopped creating. I developed Website Guide 101 to share what I’ve learned and help small-business owners create their own websites without feeling intimidated by the process.
