Building a business is hard work.
Not only do you have to be the CEO, the product developer, customer service, marketing director, but also a web developer???
Where does it end!!
Getting people to see your product or fall in love with your service is all you need, and you know building a website is a part of that, but this is NOT what you signed up for when you started your business.
Get the website you’ve always wanted without the overwhelm AND that you can control and grow as your business does the same.
Finally feel confident that you’re getting the leads you WANT from your website
Does this sound like you?
- Your website was built a while ago, but you’ve never really loved it.
- Building a website on another platform seemed like a good idea at the time, but now you’ve outgrown their capabilities.
- It’s time to finally jump into the online space and have a website you’re as proud of as you are your business.
You have a couple of choices
- Don’t build a website, struggle with that decision knowing your competitors have an online presence, and just hope for the best.
- Take charge of your destiny! Ditch the perfection complex plaguing you, and get something up that represents your business (even if it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles…yet!).
Most people have tried to build a website on their own, and probably on WordPress, and have found it not to bee the easiest thing. So they go to Google and fall down the rabbit hole of tutorial videos that leave them more confused than they were to begin with.
Or every time you ask, “what builder should I use” you get 50 million different answers, but no one can really help you get the website up and running.
You don't have time for that! You have a business to run.
Now imagine if you could have a website that you felt confident in building and editing.
Never again feel like your need to REDO your website.
Introducing Your Starter Site
This is a course that helps you build your own website without wanting to pull your hair out.
This course was born from conversation after conversation with business owners and entrepreneurs that had been burned by developers in the past or had DIY’d their website and just couldn’t get it to where they were seeing results.
This on demand training allows you to start where you're at!
Each of the 9 modules will walk you step by step through the basics from buying your domain and setting up your hosting to adding analytics and tracking and launching.
If you’ve watched website tutorials, or taken courses like this before, I promise we’re different.
Your Starter Site came at the perfect time for me. Relying mostly on referrals to gain new business, my website started as a basic calling card but was not a good reflection of what I did or who I helped. I was ready to overhaul my WordPress site once again but most importantly, to create the content that would accurately reflect my business consulting practice. The First Click provided the guidance to further document my brand message and the technical support and resources to continue and maintain that growth.

Overwhelm is real
And we don’t just leave you hanging.
Need more support…we have a VIP option that gives you access to us for extra support.
This is for you if:
- You aren’t happy with your existing website
- You want your website to get to the next level
- You don’t want to pay for a designer, but want to have a website that looks like you did
- You aren’t plagued by perfection and understand that a website is a living, breathing creature
- You want to take charge of your website, maintain control and be a boss.
This isn't for you if:
- You don’t know what your business goals are
- Growing your visibility isn’t something you need or want
- WordPress (more specifically the Divi theme) is not something you want to use
During this course you will be guided by two amazing instructors!
We are a brother-sister team that has worked with countless businesses building their websites FOR them. We have challenged them on their business/website goals and helped them gain clarity in the role their websites play in their digital marketing strategy, and how to take it to the next level.

Founder, The First Click
A few years ago, I left my corporate job handling the marketing for an international guitar manufacturer. While I loved my job, I realized that my passion was working with small businesses and helping them tell their stories.
Small business owners and entrepreneurs have so much passion and work really hard. With all the innovations in marketing, creating a cohesive marketing strategy seems daunting. So instead, you try one thing and then another, and get frustrated in the process.
I started The First Click to help businesses get away from that feeling of overwhelm. By teaching classes on individual topics, geared towards the beginner, I help people just like you tackle one thing at a time, see success and continue to grow.
My experience working with startup nonprofits established corporate companies, and everything in between, allows me to problem-solve and create opportunities for all business types, whether they are B2B, B2C or non-profit. I look forward to seeing you in the group!

After spending several years traveling the world as a photographer, I landed in Denver working in marketing. From email marketing to content creation and website design, I had my hands in all facets of digital marketing.
In 2017, I started working with The First Click and partner company H & E Marketing Solutions. Focusing on website design and development, I work with clients on 1:1 projects as well as providing technical support for the students in Your Starter Site and the Website Laboratory.
When I’m not working I’m running around with my two dogs Kenai and Trey as well as getting outside to continue to take amazing outdoor photographs
By now, you’re probably feeling stress and anxiety. That’s why we created Your Starter Site.
We know you can do this and with our ongoing support, you’ll achieve more than you thought possible.
The moment when a student shares their completed website is exactly what we live for. We are your biggest cheerleader. And helping to get your unique gift, product and service out in the world is EVERYTHING!
Now is the time to stop feeling beat down by your website and instead, feel energized by it.
Imagine smiling when people say, I found you online, instead of cringing because you know that your website not only looks beautiful, it sounds like the best version of your business.
You can do this!
Today, you can take charge of your online destiny and build a website you are proud to call yours.
