want to build a website that pays you back?
Get the simple, step-by-step game plan to build a website that attracts your dream clients—without wasting time, money or getting lost in the tech details.
So, you need a new website?
It's a business essential in a world where 'google it' is the answer to most things. And it's a slice of the internet that you can actually own (without being at the mercy of algorithms). It’s where potential clients will decide whether they like and trust you enough to buy.
And, if you can get it right, you might finally have a website that you're actually excited to send people to. A website that doesn't just look beautiful, but actually pays the bills. But you probably already know all of that. Which is why building a website has been on your mind for a while.
but maybe you're
Stuck
Stuck sifting through a sea of templates with no idea which to choose.
Stuck wondering which website builder is best.
Stuck wondering what to actually put on the page.
Stuck feeling overwhelmed all the tech details.
Stuck wondering whether you should DIY or just hire a pro.
Stuck wondering where to even start.
most people
build their
websites
backwards
They choose a platform their friend raved about, find a template that looks beautiful and start editing.
But, it doesn't take long for them to realise the template doesn't quite fit what they want to say. Their images don't work with the design. And they're stumped about what to actually say.
The process feels hard and burdensome because they're approaching it backwards. What they don't realise (because no one has ever told them), is that choosing a design is one of the FINAL steps of the website process, not the first.
you should know that
building a website
can be
simple.
You just need a step-by-step plan to follow so you know what to focus on (what to skip) and in what order.
The secret to making your build simple, is having a plan, stan. Because, armed with a plan, your website can be an investment, not a time and money pit.
You'll know what to build and where to build it, without getting stuck in the weeds. And when your 2am brain decides to question every decision you've made on your website mid-build, you'll have a well thought out game plan to keep you on track.
Because, when you have a clear path forward, creating your online home can be a breeze, not a burden.

What is this exactly?
It's a course designed to help you plan and build your new website so that it becomes an investment, not a sunk cost. Because creating a website can already feel like a big, overwhelming undertaking, we've broken down the step-by-step process we use to plan and build websites in our own branding and web design studio, Baker Creative.
You'll learn the strategic process behind creating a stand out website, so instead of copying what everyone else in your industry is doing, you can make educated decisions about what will work for your business and your audience.
How will I receive the files?
Once you checkout you will be sent an email with a link to the Complete Website Launch Plan in Trello. You'll need to take 1 minute to create a free Trello account if you don't already have one. Then, simply copy the Complete Website Launch Plan to your Trello account. Everything you need to complete the course lives inside this free planning tool, including all your bonus resources.
How long will it take to complete?
You have access to your copy of the Complete Website Launch Plan for as long as you like. The time it takes to complete will depend on how much time you can dedicate to it, whether you have people helping you and how big your website is.
Will this course show me how to design and build my website?
We want to be really clear— this is not a website design or development course. We won't be showing you how to apply colour or use coding languages.
If you're modifying an existing template, your website builder (e.g. Squarespace, Wix, Webflow) is the best place to find hundreds of amazing tutorials to support you with this process.
What's not well-covered on these platforms is how to decide what goes on to a page and how to pick the right website platform and template for your needs. They don't show you how to plan your website. So, that's what this course covers.
If you have any questions about what's included in the Complete Website Launch Kit, feel free to shoot us an email at hello@self-made.studio.
Can I use this plan for my ecommerce website?
We created this course specifically for service-based businesses. If you're creating a website that is primarily an online store, the plan will still be helpful to you overall, but you might find the examples and recommendations less relevant to your situation. If you are unsure whether this kit is right for you, reach out at hello@self-made.studio and we can chat about whether it's a good fit.
How is this different from other courses?
We don't want you to spend the limited time you have to dedicate to your website watching lengthy videos and learning theory you'll never use. Some courses are filled with filler that makes it look valuable, but it doesn't actually get you to your goal as fast as possible.
This course is all about taking action. Think of it like the juiciest, most comprehensive, website launch checklist you've ever seen. It's got every step you need to complete to get your website live, without getting bogged down by unnecessary fluff.
The other thing you should know is that we didn't just learn this stuff somewhere and regurgitate it. We developed this framework ourselves. From scratch, by trial and error. And we use it regularly for ourselves and out clients, so we know it works a treat.
I have another question!
We'd love to answer it! Get in touch at hello@self-made.studio
