YOU COULD HIRE A PRO FOR $5,000+ OR YOU CAN DISCOVER HOW EASY IT IS TO
BUILD YOUR OWN WEBSITE FOR LESS THAN THE PRICE OF A DAILY COFFEE!
A website I built myself using SelfAssemblySites
_Are you fed up with the high costs of web design, and the seeming
complexity of it all? Me too._
The Frustration
_When I started my Art business several years ago, like most people,
I hired a web designer to build my site for me. It was a good site, if
a little expensive, and I was quite happy with it. A few months later,
I needed some simple but important changes made – sold paintings
removed, new paintings added. My web designer was a good guy but he
was too busy, so I had to wait. When the changes were made, I WAS
CHARGED $120 AN HOUR, several people told me that was a very fair rate
for a guy of his quality, that they pay way more. He was a quality
designer, that's what you pay. But AT THAT COST IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU
FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO BE CONTINUALLY IMPROVING YOUR SITE ._
_I felt I had no control over my site, instead of enhancing and
reflecting my business it felt separate to me, it was a frustration
and a burden. IF YOU'RE FEELING THAT SAME FRUSTRATION, TRUST ME, I
FEEL YOUR PAIN._
The Revelation
_Years later I met Alastair McDermott. One morning at his kitchen
table, with only a pen and paper, he talked me through how to build a
great site for myself using professional tools – I recorded this
conversation on my Flip video camera. I WENT AWAY AND TO MY AMAZEMENT
I BUILT MY SITES, which turned out great (you can see one example here
on this page)._
_It was the most remarkable sensation. Hands thrust into the air,
THAT SURGE OF PURE ELATION. One day something is totally alien to you
and the next you've surprised yourself by actually building something.
Real proof that you can do it, not just a thought or intention. Sure
it's a simple and basic site to begin with but it's professional
quality and most of all it's yours. It's a strong starting point to
build on. The feeling that you built it, you didn't think you could,
but you did is remarkable. You followed the simple instructions and
you created your first website. A wonderful feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT,
THAT STRIKINGLY POSITIVE FEELING THAT YOU ARE COMPETENT IN A WHOLE NEW
AREA. You've achieved something significant and can build on that to
even greater things._
_It was just so easy, I told some friends about it and they asked for
the videos. So I went back to Alastair and we decided to create
SelfAssemblySites, with high quality videos and walkthroughs for every
aspect of building and running a site._
The Vision
_In the modern world, if you can can create your own website, or
design a site, IT CAN BE A CATALYST AND A LAUNCH PAD FOR SO MANY IDEAS
AND AMBITIONS that otherwise wouldn't be possible to explore due to
the cost. Sure you can use facebook, or one of the simple
site-in-a-box options, but they're not real solutions, they're far too
narrow in scope. Being able to build real sites with pro tools, MAKES
YOU FREE TO RUN WITH YOUR IDEAS. Not only that but able to build your
own websites SAVES YOU A LOAD OF MONEY, AND ALLOWS YOU TO PUT ALL
THOSE LIMITED RESOURCES TOWARD MORE IMPORTANT AREAS._
_I wanted to help people turn their websites from passive and costly,
frustrating experiences to a very affordable, active, positive and
constructive accelerant to their success and hopefully your success. I
WANT TO PUT YOU IN CONTROL LIKE I HAD BEEN, so you can grow your
websites as you grow your business or projects._
_If you want to learn how to build or manage your own high quality
website, then join us today - you're only two minutes away from
hundreds of videos and our private members forum - I hope to see you
there._
_Just think, in under 2 hours, you could have your first site live!_

alt="I Nearly Forgot The Best Bit! If there's a topic that we DON'T
cover in our training video series, just let us know about it - we'll
record a New HD-Quality Video AT YOUR REQUEST on that topic! You can't
get better than that, right? ACTUALLY, WE CAN! If you request
something unique to your setup, we can sometimes go in and DO THE WORK
FOR YOU - for FREE - all we need is your permission to roll the
cameras while doing it! How's that for service? :-)" />
Hard to believe? Let me tell you why we do this:
* we want our TRAINING CONTENT TO BE USER-DRIVEN - if there's
something YOU need, chances are someone else out there needs it too
* we don't always have access to the particular hosting company
control panel or software that you might be using, so if we need to
record doing something, hey, we may as well just do what you need
done, right?
* it makes our service MORE AWESOME TO OUR MEMBERS, which is always
a good thing!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How Much Is Membership?
See the for a breakdown of the different membership options.
Can I Really Can Learn To Build A Website Worth $5000 Without Any
Previous Technical Or Design Knowledge? Seriously?
Yes, but we understand why you might be a bit sceptical. It's not all
easy - if you want to build something valuable you will still need to
put in some hours - but it is possible. In fact, that's why we setup
SelfAssemblySites in the first place because IT'S FAR MORE STRAIGHT
FORWARD THAN MOST REALISE!
With the growth of professional themes, tens of thousands of plugins,
vast stock photography and graphics sites, and Content Management
Systems (CMS') that are getting easier and easier to use, it really is
possible for FOLKS WITH VERY LITTLE TECHNICAL OR DESIGN EXPERIENCE TO
CREATE SOMETHING AMAZING. We have hundreds of videos showing you how
to take advantage of these factors.
If you were to write a project spec for a website containing half the
number of the things we teach you to do, it would cost over $5000. WE
GIVE YOU ALL THAT WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP.
You can build a simple website very quickly, or spend more time on it
and build something more powerful - whatever suits your requirements!
Of course you might not want huge amounts of functionality - maybe
YOU JUST NEED A SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE SITE (that a professional might
charge $1000 for) - we'll show you how to build something like that
too. We hope that the MASSIVE SAVINGS most people will achieve
compared to these costs will make signing up for SelfAssemblySites an
easy decision!
Can I Just Learn How To Maintain And Update An Existing Site?
Yes, a significant number of our members already had sites when they
joined us, and use SAS so they can improve and update their websites
rapidly, without having to waste time and money getting their web
company to do it.
You waste time, in having to explain clearly what you want done and
then the delay in seeing the result appear, which if the company is
busy can take several weeks. How much is that time worth to you?
Most web companies charge between $70-$180 per hour for updates, so
even one month on SAS can be a very wise investment, allowing to
update your site yourself. We put them in control!
FOR THE PRICE OF ONE UPDATE TO YOUR SITE, YOU COULD LEARN TO MAKE AS
MANY CHANGES TO YOUR SITE AS YOU WISH, makes clear economic sense.
What Type Of Computer Do I Need To Use SelfAssemblySites? Do I Need
Anything Else, What Are The Requirements?
You don't need a lot to get started using SelfAssemblySites. Apart
from 2-4 hours of your time to get a basic site setup, here are the
other technical requirements:
COMPUTER: You need A COMPUTER WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION AND SOUND,
so that you can watch video. Broadband is preferable, but we have our
videos in various sizes to suit slower connections. IF YOU CAN WATCH
ANY YOUTUBE VIDEO, E.G. THE VIDEO ON THIS PAGE, THEN YOU'RE READY TO
GET STARTED. You can use Windows, MacOS, Linux and most other
operating systems. You can even use a smartphone like iPhone,
Androids, Blackberry.
Credit Card: Almost all software, etc, that we recommend is free, so
there are very few extra costs. The only things you will need to
purchase, if you don't have them already, are A) DOMAIN NAME (AROUND
$9) and B) WEBSITE HOSTING (FROM $7 PER MONTH). We recommend several
suppliers for different needs but you are free to choose any you
like.[Note: You pay the Hosting Company not SelfAssemblySites. No
matter where you get a website you still have to pay a hosting fee].
NOTEPAD margin: 0;"
src="http://images.selfassemblysites.com/sas-icons/chat-128.png"
alt="Chat to us on the forums" />
They are private members-only forums are where members can post
questions, post sites for review and ask for feedback. Some
discussions can be just peer to peer, between members just like you,
others involve input from us on technical, business or other subjects.
We encourage requests from members for us to cover new topics and, as
mentioned above, we like to shoot new videos based on members
questions.
This is where MEMBERS CAN AVAIL OF 1 TO 1 CONSULTATIONS WITH OUR
EXPERTS WORTH $100S for no extra cost than membership!
What Is The 7 Day Website Planner ECourse?
It's just what it says: a 100% free course for 7 days, delivered via
email once per day giving new perspectives on websites and web
business. The course includes actionable tasks. WHEN COMPLETED YOU'LL

DETAILED COMPARISON OF ALL MAJOR WEBSITE BUILDING OPTIONS
We've created an extensive comparison of all of the major options you
can choose when building a website. We list almost every possible
method that results in you getting a website, and list the pro's and
con's of each as we seem them and how they compare to
SelfAssemblySites. .
ORIGINS OF SELFASSEMBLYSITES
We came up with SelfAssemblySites when Alistair wanted to build a
couple of websites. He had a bad experience with his previous web
developer and he asked me to build his sites for him.
When he came to me, I figured it would be more effective to use video
to talk him through how to build a website, rather than build several
sites for him. It was quicker for me, and then he'd be able to do more
himself - like the old cliche "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day,
teach him to fish, feed him for life".
We recorded some videos for him and it worked really well - he was
able to build some great sites. Then some other friends of his said
they'd love to learn the same, and the SelfAssemblySites idea was born
- we decided to build a site to teach people how to build good
websites.
