Today I have a story for you.
This is the story of a little girl named Alice.
Watch this video, the first in a series, and follow Alice through WordPress Land as she discovers a new, almost magical, way of building websites without that Mad-as-a-Hatter Webmaster…

“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! I feel empowered, because the world of websites is no longer a big mystery. What a wonderfully surprising silver lining.”
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 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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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 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!
I want to deeply thank you Christina Hills and Team for the outstanding quality of the program and the kind and helpful assistance I received all along my Website Creation Workshop journey. I will keep being and attached member of Christina Hills Community and I’m honored to be one of her students.
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 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!
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!!
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.
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!
Christina,
No wonder you’re successful.
Julia Child, White Rabbit, (cute Alice!) & best of all an Enchanted Forest. Love the opening graphics.

So glad to see you here on my blog. Now I see that you need to get a gravatar.
Go watch this 6 min video here:

So we can see your smiling face!
Hi Christina, Great video you are a good actor.
I was wondering, is the idea to get people to join you at the webinar? If so, how would they do it? On the right you have, teleseminar, blog updates and workshop links.
I was also wonder as an affiliate can I send someone to this post by adding, “?af=MyNumber” on to the end of this URL: https://websitecreationworkshop.com/videos/alice-in-wordpress-land/
Joe,
the idea is to get people excited about my 8 module course that launches March 16th. The registration is not yet open.
I’m going to send out more email to affiliates
Joe,
this is the place to send people

Love it! I can see that talent is a family trait.
that’s wonderful christina! made my morning! love those white rabbits! and alice is awesome too!
What if I use Frugal as my theme. Can I use that
as the practice model in your class?
Is it confusing to learn on a different theme from the Itheme?
Can the practice product be converted into a live
website later?
Art
Art,
You can use ANY theme you want! You do not need to use the ithemes ones. I find iThemes really easy to use, but many students use many other themes.
Yes, the whole point of the course is to give you a practice site that you will convert to a real site. (Note that registration starts March 16th).
Christina this is awesome! Amazing work as usual – you set the bar in so many areas as a mentor. I’m so proud to know you and call you friend – you’re such a bright light!
Love this Christina and your daughter is precious!
Great work and so looking forward to the next workshop series.
I love the video with you and Maggie; she’s so natural and so are you. Great way to share your message with your audience! Very creative and fun watching. It was short, sweet and to the point. I could be listening to this one over and over again!
Thanks.
Carol
What camera did you use: Iphone, Flip (HD) or ? My Flip was stolen so may be resorting to my Canon Powershot for the time being as no Iphone yet. Thanks.
Carol
Carol, the camera was a older Sony DCR-SR82 handycam camcorder. However we do not recommend it, as it’s been clunky to work with. We are looking for a new camera ourselves.
I use the flip, and my husband shoots with the Sony.
I’m looking at the Zi8 camera as my next one. Like a flip but has an external mike
Christina,
Okay .. this was a great video. Not because it was cute/funny and you entertained me but because of the ingenious marketing strategy for your webinar.
Your video is a great idea to help create the trust and relationship between yourself and your clients.
I sent this video around to about a thousand or so folks this morning.
Thanks for reminding me to focus on the many clients as if it were just 1:1.
Many Blessings,
Colleen Bain, M.A.
Colleen,
Thanks so much for your comments. We had SO MUCH FUN, making this video! It’s really a family business…
🙂
Christina,
This is academy award worthy! This is a perfect example of relationship marketing, where we connect with our prospects and clients by relating to them on a deeper level.
This campaign is sure to be successful.
Connie
Great show, Christina! You are so clever! This is one of the reasons why your Website Creation Workshop is so fab. You find creative ways to deliver your messages so they are never ever boring. Excited to be joining you in the next workshop!
Hi Christina:
Love your Alice in Wonderland Video. Look forward to the next series with the white rabbit guiding Alice through WordPressland. You have an awesome teaching style that anyone from beginners (what is wordpress?) to advance students will learn how to put up a website right after completing your class.
Regards,
Jane
cute & creative!
Absolutely a winner, thanks for making video fun and you have both of my thumbs up!! Look forward to your series!
Karol
Re previous question – changing your theme is easier than changing your nail polish (if you can relate). 😉
Great video once again.
Thanks all for your great comments!
We definitely had fun making this video, and all the others in the series…
Stay tuned for more over the next couple of weeks!
Christina,
You are so amazing! Internet marketing can be boring and tiresome at times, but NEVER in your neck of the (enchanted) woods! Love it!
Jana
Christina! I love your work – and I am sure this workshop will ROCK! I’ll be telling my clients to check it out for themselves and I am sure you will be getting enrollments from them.
Brilliant!
Christina, awesome video! People can learn a lot from this.
Not only is the video very engaging and communicates your message about the mission of the Website Creation Workshop, it’s also a great study in how to make your marketing stand out, and make it unique WITHOUT spending a lot of money!
Which is something you also teach people very well in the Website Creation Workshop. How to make your website stand out without spending a fortune on a webmaster/web design.
Looking forward to more videos. : )
Lisa
Christina this is so inspiring and has given me some great ideas and shows that nothing should be boring. I am so excited about joining your course again this time. Cant wait to make some fabulous vidoes of my own. thank you
Christina,
This is so cute and love the family business aspect. Shows us how to have fun while getting the word out! You are a great example to us all!
That’s so funny, I love the video. 🙂
Poor “lazy” slow webdesigners, how do they feel about that, lol?
So funny! Love it and have passed it to my networks. Maggie rocks!
Do we sense the Internet Oscars coming on?!
Maybe you can sneak in some of those mad-as-a-hatter webmasters through the back door of the rabbit hole! They’ll be even better at what they do having studied with you…
Having been on your course, I so appreciate that you let us come back again…lots to learn, and you always make it different and better to give us another chance to ‘get it’!
Dear Christina: As soon as I watched this newest creation of yours, I immediately passed the link on to friends who are just starting their businesses with the subject line: great and cute marketing strategy. Playful, brief and clear… I love the modeling you offer and you certainly practice what you teach. And it is so sweet to finally get to see your beautiful daughter. Thanks again for the gifts of learning you bring in unexpected ways. Punita
I like!!! Very nice!!! WordPress.org is better than wordpress.com!
Just as I expected, and as I see everyone above has already said, this is perfect! It’s delightful, fun, opens the door to a relationship with you, and definitely should leave viewers wanting more. The “more” that I’m eager for now is what I need to do to become an affiliate, and what URL I would then use to refer people to your messages and your course. Also, once I have the appropriate URL, can I shrink it with any of those services and have it work to get people to you correctly? Thanks, and thanks again for the Gravatar training!
Hello Christina,
You know, people put smiles on my face day in and day out and I put smiles on the faces of many people throughout each day as well. So far, you have put the biggest smile on my face today.
Loved the video. You’re a natural.

Christina:
Very fun! Alice is just sooo Cute! It is net that you are willing to “break the mold” and let people know what they can really do!
Great Job,
Doug Johnson
I’m thinking that your REAL calling may be in the movies. 🙂 Maggie is beautiful; looks just like you. What a fun example of “work” for her.”
Kathryn
Will we get to meet Dinah? Do you have a cat? d
These are all really great comments!
The cat was the stuffed animal in the video that “Alice” was holding. Watch again and you’ll see it
🙂
What fun!!! Who wouldn’t want to be outside playing make believe with your daughter? Can’t wait to see the tea party.
Your friend, Judy H Wright
I loved this video! Would like to see more!
WHAT FUN! Love seeing you and your daughter – oh, I mean The White Rabbit and Alice – having such a romp in the woods! I wonder – err – wordpress – what comes next!
Christina,
Hearing raving reviews on Zi8 camera. Thanks for sharing, but was thinking no flip, no mp3, so maybe Iphone. My cell works great however, bug as AT&T customer, $199 would be.
carol
Christina,
Nicely done! I enjoying seeing what you come up with, so much fun and I love the tick tock of the clock in the back ground… either that or I had better run because my laptop is going to blow! lol
Keep up the good work.
Great video Christina,
I’ve been hearing that you are
the one to listen to when it comes
to WP.. so i figured I better
stop by…..
Thanks,
Roy Fielding
Hey Everyone!
We are hoping to get the next “Alice” in the series up tomorrow.
Watch your email for when that one is ready…

It’s nice to meet person who is not absolutely focused on selling something, but tries to entertain her visitors a little bit.
I wish you a bright future in Online Business!
