Website Design for beginners

Plan, design, and launch your website — no coding needed.

Welcome to your step-by-step guide to creating a website that works, looks great, and connects with your audience. 

One of the main driving forces behind the creation of EJK Web Solutions was whilst attending a Rebel Business course. It quickly became clear that many people needed help with getting online, so I decided to focus on supporting new businesses in building their first website even if they want to try it themselves first, which is one of the main principles Rebel teaches.

Knowing where to start can be a nightmare, so whether you’re using Canva, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or another builder, this handy guide is here to help you understand the essentials of website design.
