You don’t need to be “techy” to have a website that works

You know your business needs a strong online presence, but every time you sit down to “finally build the website,” you hit the same roadblocks: confusing platforms, design decisions, and a hundred tiny tech questions that stall you out. Meanwhile, your competitors are winning customers online.

The How to Build a Website: Small Business Toolbox gives you a clear, non‑technical roadmap from blank page to a live, professional website that actually supports your sales, bookings, and inquiries. Instead of piecing together random tutorials, you follow one structured path—backed by checklists, workbooks, and prompts—designed specifically for small business owners.

What’s inside the Small Business Website Toolbox

1. How to Build a Website (Flagship Ebook)

This is your big‑picture roadmap. In friendly, straightforward language, the ebook walks you through everything from “What makes a great website?” to builder selection, branding, essentials, publishing, SEO, and long‑term maintenance.

You’ll understand what actually matters for small businesses—and what you can safely ignore—so you stop second‑guessing every decision and move forward with clarity.

2. Guidebook: Complete Pre‑Launch Protocol

Before you flip the switch and go live, this guide walks you through a comprehensive pre‑launch checklist so your website is polished and ready for visitors.

You’ll cover technical setup, content verification, performance optimization, security, analytics, user testing, and post‑launch monitoring, all broken into clear phases and action steps.

3. Guidebook: Core Pages for Maximum Impact

Your website lives or dies on a few key pages. This guide shows you exactly how to plan and build them for maximum clarity and conversion.

You’ll define goals and success metrics for your Home, About, Products/Services, and Contact pages, then use templates, content hierarchy, and layout guidance to build them step by step—plus a 14‑day action plan to implement.

4. Guidebook: Website Builder Selection Framework

Instead of guessing which website builder is “best,” this framework helps you choose what’s best for you.

You’ll assess your business type and goals, list must‑have features, plan your budget, and use comparison criteria and a decision matrix to evaluate popular platforms and pick your ideal builder and implementation timeline.

5. Website Workbook: Exercises & Planning Templates

This is where ideas turn into a real plan. The workbook includes practical exercises on branding, design, core pages, security, performance, SEO, local visibility, maintenance, and future‑proofing.

You’ll complete templates, checklists, and real‑world scenarios so you’re never staring at a blank screen—you always know the next concrete action to take for your specific business.

6. Website Essentials & Launch Checklists

You’ll have printable, easy‑to‑scan checklists for core pages, technical foundations, pre‑launch tasks, performance testing, and post‑launch monitoring.

Keep them next to your laptop and tick off tasks as you go, so nothing critical—like SSL, backups, or mobile testing—slips through the cracks.

7. Curated Toolstack: Recommended Tools & Platforms

Skip the tool overload. The toolstack highlights website builders, hosting, design, optimization, SEO, analytics, and marketing tools that align with the frameworks and workflows in the bundle.

Instead of trial‑and‑error with dozens of apps, you can make faster, more confident choices about the tech that powers your site.

8. Prompt Pack: Content & Copy Prompts

Not a copywriter? No problem. The prompt pack gives you guided prompts to write your homepage hero, About story, product/service descriptions, CTAs, FAQs, and blog ideas.

You answer simple, targeted questions and turn your responses into clear, compelling website copy that sounds like you and speaks directly to your ideal customers.

Who this is perfect for

Service‑based businesses that need a trustworthy site to capture inquiries and bookings.
Product‑based and e‑commerce businesses that want a clean, credible storefront that can grow with them.
Local businesses that need to be found in search and give a strong first impression.
Solo founders and small teams who want a professional site without hiring an agency or learning to code.

If you’re ready to stop “researching” and start building, this toolbox is designed for you.
