Join us for a relaxed and friendly workshop where you'll create your very own website. It's a perfect way to spend an evening—meeting new people and learning a useful skill. This workshop is designed for everyone, whether you're promoting a hobby, starting a business, or just exploring new digital spaces.

In just one evening, divided into three manageable 30-minute sessions, you'll go from beginner to website builder using Carrd.co, a straightforward platform that makes web design simple and fun. No previous experience needed! Best of all, Carrd.co gives you 3 free websites with each account, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to expand your digital presence after the class.

First, we'll start by helping you figure out what you want your website to do. With 5 easy questions and AI, you’ll quickly get a bunch of ideas for your content and images. You'll then perform a quick search on Pixabay.com to create a collection of free images.

Next, you’ll put your chosen text and pictures into your website template. We’ll show you how each part of the Carrd platform works and help you get your content just right.

Finally, we’ll add some finishing touches. You’ll choose colors, adjust the layout for mobile and desktop, and maybe try a simple scroll animation. We’ll make sure your site has what it needs to grab attention without feeling cluttered.
