Learning to build and manage your own website gives you: \n\nTrue Ownership: Update your own copy\, photos\, and pages whenever you need to\, without waiting on or paying for someone else’s schedule.\nProfessional\, Scalable Tools: Learn the same platforms and design principles professional web developers use. Your site can grow from a simple one-pager to a full site with donations\, e-commerce\, or booking built in.\nSmart Use of AI: Use AI tools to help draft content\, plan your site structure\, and keep it updated. You stay in control while the tool speeds up your work.\nSeamless Integrations: Confidently connect the tools you already rely on\, like donation platforms\, forms\, email newsletters\, and event calendars\, directly into your site.\n\nLike all Innovate New Albany programs\, this one is FREE! \nClass size is limited to 20 people. \nCourse Schedule – four consecutive Thursdays\, 6-8 pm: 9/24\, 10/1\, 10/8\, 10/15 \nUpdate on Sun. 9/20: This course is now FULL.
