Should You Buy an iPad?

Posted by Christina Hills | Articles | 35

You may be asking yourself that very same question: Should you get an iPad?

Well first off, for the folks that have not been watching the media, the iPad is the hottest new thing to hit mobile marketing. It’s like an iPhone/iPod Touch but just bigger. Everyone I know with an iPhone, understands the importance of this new device and wants one badly! (or has already gone out to buy one). Watch this quick little video from Apple…

So why is this relevant to you?

Well the significance of the iPad, is that we are all becoming more and more mobile. No longer does a person need to “wait till they get back to their office”, now you can be running your business on the go. (My friend Paul Colligan, spent a month running his business on his iPad exclusively).

Well with using WordPress as your platform for your website, you CAN run your business from anywhere. WordPress is designed for the person on the go, using multiple computers, logging in from anywhere. It’s that flexible. (unlike the old Dreamweaver days, where you were stuck to one computer. Or had to buy extra software and install it on your other computers just to share your data with a collaborator. Ugh, too much work)

So if you want an iPad, go for it and get one! You’ll be able to add posts and pages to your WordPress Website, update your website, and do pretty much anything you need to, all without the reliance on a webmaster.

Christina,
I love my iPad and use WordPress myself and for all my clients, but the WP iPad app really sucks. You can’t use the visual editor at all, for example.
- Christina Hills on May 18, 2010 at 8:06 am
  
  Newt,
  I’ll have to check that out! But you always have the browser version.
  
  I prefer the browser version of editing my WordPress site on my iPhone anyways
Ronald Headley on May 18, 2010 at 8:12 am

There is a free Word Press iPhone plugin that should work with the iPad – that allows one to post to Pages, Posts and Comments. The iPad could be very useful to many people for a lot of things – sort of like an iPhone with a larger more readable screen. Something recently learned from a friends experience. The iPad is slippery – if dropped it can break the screen. The Apple warranty does not cover breakage, Apple care does not either (look elsewhere for a warranty). Apple will replace a broken iPad but it will cost you about half of what you paid (same is true with iPod touch and iPhone). Square Trade has a warranty that covers just about everything except loss or theft (including system failures) at a reasonable cost. Also while the Apple iPad is really a great device the Apple case is not very good, look elsewhere for a case. You might also want to check out the Silicon cases that give you a better grip on the iPad. I use one from incase on my iPhone which is also slippery and easy to slip out of your hands.

  Ronald,
  Great comment about the iPad being slippery. That is how I found my iPhone to be, so I immediately got a case for it.
Caroline Jones on May 18, 2010 at 6:06 am

Christina – helpful little video. It is soo tempting, but I can’t make a case for it at the moment as I’m working pretty much in one place. I can dream on…..
- Christina Hills on May 18, 2010 at 8:05 am
  
  Caroline,
  I’m tempted every day! I got a little Netbook, but am not finding it as useful as I wanted because it’s so slowwwww…
  - Sharon on May 24, 2010 at 5:57 pm
    
    I agree about the netbook. My girlfriend got one and I could smash it everytime she asks for help with the darn thing.
Minnesota entertainment on May 18, 2010 at 10:43 am

I’ll be waiting for the new Android netbooks to come out. They’ll be touch screens but will also have a USB input. Heck, my Droid phone has a USB input. Why wouldn’t the Ipad? Plus, there will be many Android netbooks to pick from, not just one in the case of the Ipad.

Same thing with the Iphone and Android phones. In the US market right now, there are something like 20 different Android phones supported by 5 or 6 different carriers. With the Iphone OS, there is one phone, one carrier…
- Christina Hills on May 18, 2010 at 11:44 am
  
  Yes this race for who has the best mobile device is quite interesting. I know lots of folks with the Android. I myself am an Apple lover..

Joseph D. Shiller on May 18, 2010 at 7:47 am

I guess it’s just a never ending competition to see who can invent the most portable device that also has the most control over the cyber/electro-magnetic world plus can execute the most applications the most efficiently.
- Christina Hills on May 18, 2010 at 8:01 am
  
  Joseph,
  
  Yep, that’s just it!
  
  Then it gets more interesting (annoying) that Apple and Adobe are in a big fight over the video players.
  
  iPhones and iPads WON’T play flash video! So now biz owners (like me) have to come up with another way to have our videos play on those devices.
  - Ronald Headley on May 18, 2010 at 8:47 am
    
    iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch support HTML 5 – H.264 -MP4 AVC video. Not only does Apple support HTML 5. Microsoft recently announced HTML 5 support and put it in the latest version of Internet Explorer. HTML 5 is quickly becoming the standard for video. HTML5 is beginning to be used by major news and media sources, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video
    Thing to know is the iPhone has more than half of the Smart Phone market, the iPad has already sold over 1 million and that is in the US – the iPad is just starting to appear on the international market.
    
    Apple does not support Flash on portable devices for some very good reasons. Microsoft is moving away from Flash also. So that just means if we do internet video we all need to begin to explore ways to make the videos available and playable on the most popular portable devices. (You Tube videos play just fine on iPhones, and iPads) HTML5 / H.264 are also fine. This all is just a change and tech advancement.
  - Mike Korner on May 19, 2010 at 3:14 pm
    
    Flash is a gigantic security problem so, ultimately, what Ronald Headley mentioned about HTML 5 as a replacement, and YouTube) is good news. Painful, but good 🙂
Clay Franklin on May 18, 2010 at 11:52 am

I got the iPad for my birthday as something I did not need. It turns out i use it every day, just about as much as I use my iPhone. I totally love it and am typing this comment on it at my kitchen table.

I also love the Apple iPad case. It is perfect, light weight, portfolio style, stiff front cover, sticky feel and a adjustable stand built in. I never take off the case. My son and I both have the iPad and the apple case and totally love it.

At first i missed flash, yet slowly sites are using HTML 5 instead so most videos are now who wing up fine.
My main problem is that I have too many passwords to remember, so i need a good iPad password manager.
It was great to meet you at Mass Control last year.
Clay
- Christina Hills on May 18, 2010 at 11:59 am
  
  Clay,
  Yes we have been looking into HTML 5 as we feel that is the way the web is going to go with video. Currently all my stuff is in flash now. I too want a good password manager for my Apple devices. Let me know if you find one!
  
  -Christina
  p.s. I should be at List Control this year too!
  - Clay Franklin on May 18, 2010 at 4:13 pm
    
    I am using roboborm for the Mac and iPad. It does not meet my needs on the iPad. It is ok on the Mac and awesome on the PC. I plan to get 1password for the Mac this week. I will send you a tweet if it is better than Roboform.
    List control will be awesome, I am not going this year.
- Ronald Headley on May 18, 2010 at 12:16 pm
  
  There is an app for that

  - Christina Hills on May 27, 2010 at 12:04 am
    
    Ronald,
    
    I love that you know so much about technology!
    
    🙂
    - Ronald Headley on May 27, 2010 at 8:23 am
      
      Thanks – I really like that you know so much about Word Press and other techie things and how to teach it.
      
      BTW June 7-11 is Apple WWDC and there should be some new product announcements in Steve Jobs keynote speech. (June 7 – 10AM PST) There will be live blogs from MacWorld and MacLife. This is one of the main events that Apple announces new products.
      
      One of the main things (for internet marketers) is Apple is NOT going to allow Flash on Mobile devices. They are supporting HTML5 and h.264 for video. Microsoft is also supporting HTML5 and h.264 – with the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad dominating the mobile market that means we all need to get serious about HTML5 h.264 for marketing videos. Major news outlets are beginning to use HTML5 so their videos are visible and play on Apple mobile devices
      
      Also found a plug in that is interesting –
      WPtouch iPhone Theme
      This allows Word Press sites to be seen on Apple mobile products without messing up your normal theme. I have it on http://www.yardgardenwindmills.com/blog go there with your iPhone or iPod touch to see what it does – it is a WP theme – there is nothing to know or download to the Apple device other than a place to turn it on when you go to a site with the plug in working – it will say mobile theme with an on / off button.
      
      There are a number of settings in the plug in to better enable people coming to your site from an Apple mobile device.
Doug Johnson on May 19, 2010 at 3:22 pm

How much fun is that! Looks good! I need one . . .
FAQ Software Agent on May 24, 2010 at 9:45 pm

Ipad works especially if I’m mobile but for a multi-tasking gadget and needed in-depth work, I would prefer a laptop.
I think if they can add more features which will make it more of a computer, I would consider it more.
Anita G. Wheeler on June 5, 2010 at 4:25 pm

I am going to buy an Ipad in the next week or so. I know there are different price points with the different models. Any suggestions in the arena? Just don’t want to regret down the road not getting something more powerful, however will just be using it for general business use, etc.!!

Thanks in advance!

Anita
- Christina Hills on June 8, 2010 at 8:52 am
  
  Anita,
  the best thing to do is to talk to the folks at the Apple store. I personally would get the cheaper one and save the money. It all depends if you need the 3G or not. So that depends upon where you will be when you will be using your iPad most of the time.
  
  If you are within a good wireless network, you should not need the 3G. But talk to the apple folks
- Ronald Headley on June 8, 2010 at 10:12 am
  
  Basically there are two different iPad models. The first is the iPad – it can “talk” to the internet only by using WiFi – that means you will need to be someplace where WiFi is available to use it. Are you at places that have WiFi a lot?? (do you have WiFi at home, at work, at the office, do you often go to hotels, coffee shops, restaurants, air ports, book stores, hospitals and or other places that have WiFi?? Remember WiFi works about 300 feet from the transmitter.
  
  The next iPad is the iPad 3G – it is just like the iPad above it can use WiFi the added part to this one is the ability to use the AT&T 3G network. 3G is wireless that works through cell phone towers. First question is this – does 3G work where you will be using the iPad?? Is it available. 3G is available in most major cities and along much of the interstate system. In many areas what this means is that if your are 3 or 4 miles from the Interstate 3G will not work.
  
  The way to tell is find someone with an iPhone 3G and have them check the areas where you are most of the time to see if they can get connected to AT&T at 3G speeds. AT&T has two data systems Edge which is available both urban and rural – Edge is very slow, it is really not a lot faster than dial up. It does work as long as you are not doing a lot of data. You can sort of tell and the first thing to do is check the coverage maps on the AT&T site for your area. Be sure to use the AT&T coverage viewer http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer – put in your zip code – it will bring up a map in tones of orange. Next click on the box (Blue “Show 3G Coverage”) zoom out on the view – if your area or where you will be using the iPad has a lot of blue then you really should consider the iPad 3G – the main advantage is you can connect to AT&T 3G cellular – that means you will have internet in places where WiFi is not available – (like your car, the park, on the street, and on and on.)
  
  AT&T just dropped the $30 unlimited data plan for the iPad (and new iPhone) they have a $25 plan which gives 2G of data and $15 which gives 250 MB here is an article about the “new” AT&T plans for the iPad
  http://www.tuaw.com/2010/06/02/candid-answers-from-atandt-on-the-new-iphone-data-plans/
  
  BTW http://www.tuaw.com/ is a great place for information about the iPad, iPod, iPhone, and other Apple products
  
  Next up with the iPad is what size – they come in three sizes – 16G 32G and 64G
  
  People experienced with the iPhone and who use them a lot quickly found that 16G is just not large enough. On the other end not many people are using all of the 64G on the top model. The sweet spot seems to be 32G – in fact the brand new iPhone 4 announced yesterday only comes in 16G and 32G which means that the 64G has been dropped. (that has to mean with the iPhone the 64G model was not selling enough.)
  
  So at least to me the 32G iPad 3G is the one that makes a lot of sense. While I do have WiFi both at home and at the store – I find my self in a lot of places using my iPhone on 3G. For me the ability to be able to choose is important with my iPhone and will be important when I get an iPad. Often WiFi is not open and this is getting more and more so. To use it you need access and not everywhere has open WiFi. Of course 3G is not available everywhere either. So at least with the iPhone I use a combination of 3G and WiFi and between the two I usually am able to have Internet access where ever I am – even if that means finding a place with WiFi where 3G is not available.
  
  I also find that in places where only EDGE is available – rather than deal with the slowness, I will head for a WiFi hotspot like the Golden Arches, or Expensive Coffee places. (a note – if you are an AT&T customer you do have free access to all of the AT&T WiFi hot spots.)
- Ronald Headley on June 8, 2010 at 10:52 am
  
  Something to be aware of with the iPad and iPhone is the Apple Care warranty which is normally excellent for Apple Products DOES NOT COVER dropping and breaking it. If you break an iPad or iPhone you will end up paying about half of what you paid for a new one. Square Trade – (a really good company to deal with) has a warranty that does cover fixing the iPad if something electronic goes wrong AND they cover it if you drop and break it. http://www.squaretrade.com/pages/ they have “specials” so watch their site.
Christine on June 8, 2010 at 8:38 am

I was recently at Word Camp & there was a person there using the iPad on battery only for 8 hours!
- Christina Hills on September 3, 2010 at 5:31 pm
  
  Christine,
  
  I’m amazed how many hours I get out of my iPad!
Ronald Headley on June 24, 2010 at 10:19 am

The new iPhone 4 is out today – (and so is the new OS for the iPhone 3GS and 3G – free download – be careful – up load your photos to a computer first – make certain you back up you iPhone before you upgrade – if you sync it with more than one computer back it up on every computer you use – make certain you are using the latest version of iTunes) Some early reviews are saying the new iPhone will loose signal bars if you are Left Handed – the phone antenna is the metal on the left side of the new case – sound like you can short out the antenna with your hand – the fix is easy just put a bumper on it- a case or bumper is a good idea anyway – iPhone are slippery – it they fall to the floor you can break the screen and Apple warranty and Apple Care does not cover dropping and breaking it. (Square Trade covers electronic failures AND breakage — here is a really long link http://view.exacttarget.squaretrade.com/?j=fe61177176620c7d751d&m=feff1076706504&ls=fdf111717c6c0779751d7577&l=fe6615717060057d7212&s=fe2b16737563067f721079&jb=ffcf14&ju=fe30167676640575701476

or you can just go to http://www.squaretrade.com
less cost than Apple Care – better coverage
- Christina Hills on September 3, 2010 at 5:32 pm
  
  Ronald,
  
  I just ordered my free iPhone 4 case from apple.
  Yes it’s a slippery one
Ronald Headley on September 3, 2010 at 6:02 pm

There is an iSO upgrade coming in a few days that effects the iPhone and iPod touch AND a major iSO upgrade coming in November for the iPad – most of the new stuff for the phones will be on the iPad and they are adding PRINTING!!!! You can watch the video on http://www.apple.com and I have some on the announcements on my blog
http://www.etechnstuff.com/ebay-drop-off/
Working on a new site – at the moment
http://www.yardgardenwindmills.com
will be playing with an eCommerce plug in and attempting to put some products up this evening.
Ronald Headley on September 3, 2010 at 6:33 pm

I am actually waiting a bit on the iPad – I am betting that the next model will have some added features – it should be out in January. Hoping they put at least a front facing camera on it – they are doing so much with Face Time that it just seems the iPad will get that upgrade. There also are a lot of rumors of a smaller iPad – perhaps a 7in screen.

Best place for Apple information if you have an iPhone (or iPod touch) is TUAW app or just go to http://www.tuaw.com (The Unofficial Apple Weblog)
william Chaney on September 3, 2010 at 5:16 pm

Wow, what a great read, Ronald Headley gave us an ebook in his comments, all very helpful.
I have been holding off on getting an ipad, now I hear that we will have 4G starting the first of the year and that verizon is hooking up with apple to handle the ipad. If this is the case, it will be great, my verizon phone works 99.9 percent of where ever I go, It also works just fine in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which is my other home. If they do start handling ipad, I’ll be first in line,.
Thanks for all the information..
- Christina Hills on September 3, 2010 at 5:33 pm
  
  William,
  Yes Ronald is a wealth of knowledge! I’m so happy that he is one of my students in the Website Creation Workshop!
  
  I love my iPad, but I’d wait till the 4G came out if I were you. There are some things I don’t like about it, and that always happens with a first generation device.
Larry Dunville on September 13, 2010 at 10:19 am

First off, I’m a PC guy, but a month ago I bought a iPad and it’s the best tech purchase of my life!!! I use the Kindle app (sold my Kindle) for books, Audible for audio books, and a RSS reader called Pulse to keep up on the two dozen blogs that I try to keep up with. I watch movies, TV and read newspapers and magazines (Zinio’s great). I have also found a great notetaking app and a stylus that makes the iPad great for taking notes too.

I have even found a backup battery, the size of a deck of cards that gives me an additional 50 hours of operation.

It’s truly a wonderful device.
- Christina Hills on September 13, 2010 at 10:20 am
  
  Larry,
  I love my iPad too! I didn’t know about that backup battery. Great idea for camping trips!

Testimonials

“Super big thank you to Christina!”

After following Christina Hills online for a while I found her instruction to be very thorough, and honest in approach, so I decided to give the Website Creation Workshop a try. It happened at a time when I was struggling with another web designer, again, a grand total of four designers over a period of 15 years!!! I couldn’t be happier to not have to make those angry, frustrated calls anymore. Seriously!

Aside from things typically taking way too long, if they were even done, creative differences tended to be a problem for me as well. “What do you mean you don’t want to do that?” I find myself repeating over and over for things like “Why is the site not mobile responsive?”….. Never again!

Super empowering to not be subjugated to the will of another. With my vision, and the skills I’ve learned, I can build what I want, and change/modify it when I see fit, or necessary. Super big thank you to Christina and the WCW team for helping me get here!

“I highly recommend Christina’s course – and have to many, many people!”

I have been a member of Christina Hills’ community for three years now. I have appreciated her clear and understandable teaching. Christina’s lessons are very step by step so that anyone can follow them – even with NO website experience. Her process has been refined so that you just need to follow the process. You do not get lost down the many, many rabbit holes in WordPress or building a website. Her course is well organized and easy to navigate.

I recently purchased a Pinterest course from a “big name” and was shocked how sparse the information was and how much she assumed you knew. Christina is NOT like this. Her course is stellar if you want to build your own website.

Depending on the amount of time you have, you could build it quickly, or it could take you more time. It also depends what you are trying to build. My site is fairly complicated with two kinds of blog posts – one to support my podcast and one for the recipes. I have many pictures for each recipe. But with Christina’s help and that of her team, it is built and out in the world!!

I highly recommend Christina’s course – and have to many, many people.

“Christina Hills’ Website Creation Workshop course is The Best online course I’ve ever taken!”

Christina Hills’ Website Creation Workshop course is The Best online course I’ve ever taken! Here’s why: It’s way more than information-packed (which it is). It took me, step-by-step, to create my own website in a way that was thorough, and easy to understand, and supportive, and encouraging, and easy to follow … AND FUN!

Yes, there’s a learning curve, but after the first few modules, I was having FUN being creative, building my very own website exactly how I wanted it. I’m thrilled with the result, and I’m excited to show off my new site to a new and wider audience!

The Website Creation Workshop has been extraordinarily helpful and made it fun to build a website – and in a shorter time than expected. Building a website used to be something I dreaded, but knew that I had to take care of as a new online entrepreneur. I feel proud of what I have accomplished, and empowered to maintain and improve the site on an ongoing basis. Thank you so much Christina and team!

“I am glad to have taken a chance on this course and am so happy to have completed this website!”

I have attempted to learn WordPress many times with online tutorials, and continued to hit “roadblocks” where I couldn’t figure out how to move forward.

With the Website Creation Workshop, I was able to understand how WordPress works so much more clearly and was able to ask critical questions when needed. I am glad to have taken a chance on this course and am so happy to have completed this website – one that I hope will be the first of many more!

“Christina instills confidence and independence in her students.”

I decided the new skill I’d learn during Covid lockdown would be web design, and I couldn’t have chosen a better teacher and program than the Website Creation Workshop. Christina Hills is a teacher’s teacher ( I say that as a teacher!) She has tremendous facility teaching technical skills and breaking them down in a simple, non-overwhelming process that is actually fun, especially to a non-technical audience. She is logical as well as creative in the perfect balanced combination. She understands creative multi-faceted people who are working with more than one niche, yet provides structure and sound advice at the same time. I have taken almost all of her different programs at this point, and each one has delivered far beyond my expectations.

Above all, Christina instills confidence and independence in her students so that a non-technical solo entrepreneur can manage their own online presence independently without stress, multiple contractors or overwhelm. This newfound freedom, confidence and independence to be able to update my websites anytime I want on my own timeline is absolutely priceless. I’ve even noticed benefits outside the class, in that I am more eager to tackle complex technical things a lot more lately because of my overall increased technical skills.

Last but not least, Christina’s support team is absolutely amazing. They are the nicest group of ladies who went above and beyond on so many occasions to help me go live on schedule. You guys are the best. I highly recommend the Website Creation Workshop to anyone who wants to gain full mastery and independence over their websites and online presence. Thanks Christina, and thank you to the wonderful Website Creation Workshop team!

“I am not a technically savvy person. And I just completed a gorgeous website that I’m really pleased with! Christina’s WCW is extremely well organized and detailed. Even I could follow it with ease!

Christina and her team have finessed the tricky balance between challenge and encouragement through an on-line platform allowing for even the most technically-challenged entrepreneur to be successful with developing their own website. I have gained skills and confidence in designing my own site – and now maintaining it — all while having fun! I’m so glad I found you when I did.

“Christina provides a wealth of information in a clear, concise, practical and fun manner!”

Christina provides a wealth of information in a clear, concise, practical and fun manner. I tried to do my own WordPress website and ended up frustrated and with unsatisfactory results. After attending a free webinar about the Website Creation Workshop, I knew immediately that she was an excellent teacher, presenter and a person of heart.

I am so thrilled with my new website and my ability to control and grow my content over time. I ran into some challenges along the way, but Christina and her team were there every step of the way. That is a sign of a great teacher! Thank you Christina and I look forward to continuing the journey with you in other workshops.

Christina’s methodical and detailed approach to teaching WordPress is amazing! I had been afraid of WordPress before joining the WCW!! But Christina and her team make it all feel manageable, one step at a time.

I love my new site and I feel very proud of myself for pushing through my anxiety to learn so many new skills. There is no way I could have done it (or would have had the nerve to try) without Christina Hills and the WCW. Thank you so much!!

“I would recommend the Website Creation Workshop to anyone who wants to gain the freedom of building their own online presence!”

I am very grateful for Christina and her team to develop such a wonderful and useful course!

The workshop is so well-organized that a non-technical person like me can learn and master at my own pace. It teaches almost anything you can think of while building a website. I also had chances to ask my own questions and get answers on live calls. I feel so empowered that I can put up my own beautiful websites, and produce content that I want to share with the world.

I love the precious “real estate” on the Internet that belongs to me, instead of building on the rented land such as social media. I used to work with web developers on websites, it’s very time consuming with numerous back-and-forth emails and calls on any design idea or change, let alone the cost, time delay, and headache associated with it.

I would recommend the Website Creation Workshop to anyone who wants to gain the freedom of building their own online presence. I did it in four months with about an hour a day. It is an incredibly freeing experience to learn from Christina. Thank you!

“Thank God I found Christina and her team!”

WOW! I can’t believe I created my own website! When I began this journey I was not sure I could really do it. After years of having paid others to create and maintain a website, I thought I might be getting in over my head. Thank God I found Christina and her team!

They have a fantastic program that allows you to move at your own pace and ask questions along the way. Everything is beautifully put together and well thought out. I think this is the only way I could’ve accomplished this. I did the work knowing someone was there to patiently guide and support me when I needed it. Thanks to Christina and her team for a putting together this beautiful program.

“Couldn’t be happier with my outcome!”

I, like so many, had become frustrated by the cost and the amount of time it was taking to have my site updated by other people. Even though my time is at a premium I decided to take on the task of rebuilding my own site through the Website Creation Workshop.

First, I was excited by how simple it was once I understood some of the basics, which Christina does an excellent job in teaching. From there it was a matter of following the step by step program, referring to the videos for each lesson and watching my website take form. Couldn’t be happier with my outcome and with the knowledge I have to continue tweaking my site as needed.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I joined the workshop in Spring 2019 and I completed a website for my husband’s music business. It is not perfect, but at the moment it is enough for our purposes. Of course it will grow and change alongside our business.

I agreed to help my husband to publish his music (stuck indoors, Covid and all…) Suddenly, I acquired a very clear vision where I wanted to go and now we not only have a website, but have also gained a verified and approved artist status on Spotify and YouTube – In three short months ? and this is really just the beginning. And you helped with a very important piece – building a foundation, our house on the web.

I wanted to say thank you for providing a very comprehensive resource that helped me to overcome “it is not enough” syndrome and to create my first ever working WordPress website. You gave me enough confidence to finish and publish it.

Thanks a million. You are awesome!

“It is EMPOWERING!”

Christina’s Website Creation Workshop was FANTASTIC! As a graphic designer, I know how to make things look pretty! But I learned so much more about building an interesting and effective website.

Christina teaches at a pace that is slow and powerful, so all of the details have time to soak in. I highly recommend, and do to all of my entrepreneur friends, Christina’s training. It is EMPOWERING! Thanks!

“A superb program to learn and implement technologies that are typically out of reach to non-techies.”

Christina Hills is a natural teacher! The Website Creation Workshop is a superb, comprehensive program to learn and implement technologies that are typically out of reach to non-techies. As a tool for every size business to establish an online brand, I’m confident that an investment in this program is worth the time and every penny spent working with Christina and her team. The support and guidance are invaluable!

“If it weren’t for the Website Creation Workshop, I might still not have a website up and running!”

If it weren’t for the Website Creation Workshop, I might still not have a website up and running! Christina goes through things step by step so that you not only know what buttons to click, but why.

The knowledge will continue to be helpful so that even if I have someone else manage updates on my website, I can easily go in and make quick changes myself and will understand what I’m asking someone else to do. This was a great way to get myself going!

“I have found you and your staff to be some of the best in the industry!”

One of the things I love about you and your company Christina, is that you run it from an abundant loving place, like you’re caring for your fellow human. Along with all your brilliant teaching skills, you make it easy to want to stay connected to you, Christina, because you have built in the space for people to be human and change their mind or go through hard things and you support us in that.

I have found you and your staff to be some of the best in the industry to work with when issues come up. I appreciate this about you and it’s what will keep me coming back!

“I have a website I love!”

If you told me 6 months ago I would be designing and managing my own website – I would not have believed you. For years I had people to manage my site and they never got it quite right and it was too expensive to keep having them make those changes to get it right. Now, I have a website I love and I can make changes and keep it current without the huge cost of paying someone else.

Thank you, Christine and Team – you have all be fabulous and the training and support from the Facebook Group have gone over and above what I could have ever imagined. Thank you and I am looking forward to managing my own website!

“I never thought I would be this happy with a website!”

I never thought I would be this happy with a website! I was stuck between paying AT LEAST $5000 for someone else to create a good website vs. creating a website myself that I wouldn’t really like. I didn’t want to pay that much, but I knew that I didn’t have the expertise to create even a bad website.

But with Christina’s Website Creation Workshop, I produced something that I am proud of and that is constantly getting me compliments! The step-by-step process is very straightforward and easy. Christina has “game-a-fied” the creation process so you see yourself making progress as you go. Not only do I love my site, but I’ve been able to even help some other people because of the training I’ve received!
