Here is an index listing some of the resources for the Website Creation Workshop. These resources are all related to having a website and an online business. Each module has it’s own set of resources, so go to the module sections for specific resources related to those topics.
When creating your content on your new website, it is often that you have not yet written any of your content. That is why many people use ‘Latin Text’ as a placeholder. This way you can flesh out your website, without the pressure of coming up with your content yet. (or if you have hired out your content, you can put in the placeholder, while your writer creates the content.
