Make Your Website

An hour's workshop that helps to explain to non-tech-savvy people the different ways they can make their own website.

Although it implies that the workshop will explain how a website can be made, it's actually more of an overview of the various methods available. This workshop needs to be followed-up by workshops on making websites using each particular method.
