New · Own Your Website workshop · $375

The WordPress conversion workshop: move your site to HTML you own.

A live, two-hour online workshop. I walk you through moving your WordPress or Wix website into simple HTML files that belong to you, then set you up to edit it visually with Claude: click on a page, say what you want changed, and see it change.

When
Tuesday evenings, 5:30 to 7:30 PM Eastern

First session Tuesday, November 24. Live on Google Meet.

Size
Up to 10 people

Small enough that everyone gets help with their own site.

Price
$375

Refunded if I can’t get your site running.

The guarantee

Your site up and running, or you don’t pay.

You leave with your site in your own GitHub, set up for visual editing in Claude Design and running on a Cloudflare preview address, plus instructions for moving your domain. If anything isn’t working, I help by email, and on a call if needed. If I still can’t get it running, your $375 is refunded.

Free AI literacy workshop

AI literacy and live demos for your group. Free.

A 90-minute session for business owners who are curious, skeptical or a little nervous about AI. You watch real business work done live with AI, and the results, some would say, are mind-blowing. No pitch at the end. You walk away with specific ideas for getting started.

Who I present to

Every session is built for the room.

The format stays the same: literacy, live demos, your questions. What changes is the content. I tailor the examples and the demos to your audience, so people see AI working on the kind of work they do.

Chambers of commerce

Sessions for members of local chambers of commerce.

Tailored for a mixed room: demos on the work every owner shares, from marketing to finance to operations.

Industry groups

Real estate, insurance and the trades, with demos built around your kind of work.

Tailored to your industry: examples and live demos built on the documents and workflows your members use every day.

Peer and professional groups

CEO and owner peer groups like Vistage, and professional associations.

Tailored for owners: where AI fits in strategy, governance and the roadmap, and how to bring a team along.

“My goal is to convince you that you can learn to use AI and put it to work in your business.”
