Decide what the website needs to do
An online instructor’s website should help visitors decide whether a course suits them and what to do next. Start by defining the course topic, intended students, delivery method, and contact route. If visitors will register or pay on the site, check separately whether you need store functionality and payment setup. Payments, social login, domain connection, and shipping may require configuration; do not assume they are ready to use automatically.
TalkTalkMySite offers no-code templates, AI chat, and visual editing, so coding or design experience is not required to get started. However, instructors remain responsible for checking the generated text and layout as well as their business details. Basic is for a website, Standard is for a store, and Premium is for multilingual use. Choose according to the functions you actually need, and consider practical requirements—for example, whether you truly need multiple languages if you will operate in only one.
Check image rights before publishing
When preparing a profile portrait, a class photo, or an image of course materials, do not assume that you may use a photo simply because you took it. Check who took it and who holds the rights, the scope and duration of permission, and whether permission covers website publication and promotional use. If students or other people appear, also check whether you have their consent to publish the image. If you cannot confirm consent, choose a different image or one that does not show identifiable faces. Keep a record of image sources and permissions so you can review them later.
Consider what each image communicates to visitors. A purely decorative image may have empty alternative text, but an informative image—such as the instructor or a teaching activity—should have a short, specific description. For instance, a photo showing an instructor teaching a writing class online can be described by stating that scene. Do not add credentials or results that the image does not establish, and do not stuff the text with search terms. If the surrounding text already fully explains the image, you do not need to repeat the same information.
Organize a page that answers questions
Collect the questions visitors are likely to ask before contacting you or enrolling, and answer them on one easy-to-find page. A sample outline:
- Who is the course for? State the intended audience and any prior experience needed.
- How is it taught? Explain accurately whether it is online and what the class format is.
- Are there materials or preparatory tasks? List only what students actually need.
- How can someone enroll or ask a question? Describe the current process and contact method.
- What are the payment, schedule-change, and cancellation arrangements? Confirm your actual operating policies and explain them clearly.
Review before publishing, then take the next step
For example, an instructor preparing a beginner online writing course could confirm the rights to their portrait and write alternative text that accurately describes a genuine class scene. The FAQ page could cover whether the course is suitable for beginners, how lessons are delivered, what students need, and how to get in touch. This is a hypothetical example; adapt it to the instructor’s actual course and policies.
- Have you checked the rights holder, permission scope, and intended placement for each photo?
- Does each alternative-text description accurately reflect the image?
- Do the answers and course details match what you currently offer?
- Can visitors find the contact method easily on a phone?
Before publishing, inspect the pages and links yourself, and continue reviewing the content and layout after launch. Search rankings and sales are not guaranteed, nor are unlimited free use or error-free results. To get started, gather accurate course details, photos with confirmed permissions, and the questions you hear most often. Then choose the site type you need and make a list of the setup tasks before building.
