Vision
Your website shows the world your vision, and your vision is rooted in your story. It is important to capture the story of "why" you are doing this and "why" it is so meaningful to your life. Use the techniques and examples of autoethnogrpahy found in the course book Inclusion: The Art of Story-Listening
Develop the vulnerability to be honest with the world about your story, and people will be believe in your vision and support your cause. Anyone can build a website, you are building the narrative to your dream and spilling your life's pain on a website for the world to see. It takes courage. As you read the autoethnogrpahies found in the book it will help you to find your angle of honesty to comfortably communicate how your purpose was birthed out of pain.
Reduce Business Start-Up Cost
The key to staying in business is keeping your overhead cost low to 0$ until you grow. We suggest you begin with a free Weebly website you can get one here:
Don't get overwhelmed. We suggest removing all but one of the pages on the starter website and include this information on your one page website:
Name of Company/ Nonprofit
Purpose Proposition Statement or Mission Statement
My Story (Why you are doing this and how it connects to your personal story)
Product or Service Overview
Quotes from 3 clients or customers (this initially may require some donated services)
Contact Information
Purchasing link for product or service (i.e. youcanbook.me, square, PayPal, stripe, etc)
