Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are there any additional costs to setting up my Website?

    Yes – you’ll need to have your own domain name and hosting. These will need to be purchased separately by third party providers.

    However, inside the course, we’ll share who we recommend, and give instructions on how to set them up.

    We recommend budgeting an extra $150 NZD to purchase your domain and hosting.

  • How long will it take for me to complete my Website setup?

    That largely depends on how long it takes you to take action and follow the steps. The videos themselves won’t take you longer than a day, but, you’ll need implementation time.

    We suggest completing the work as you go rather than watching all the videos first.
    It’s best to watch a video then complete that step before moving on to the next video.

  • What is your refund policy?

    If you do not find that this course suits your needs, email us within 7 days and we’ll provide a no questions asked refund.

Iona Elwood Smith – Grow My Business

Hi, I’m Iona Elwood-Smith and love all things to do with websites. As a person who can’t work her phone my family find this hilarious.

My background is in strategy and business development and I fundamentally believe everyone should be online for their business to grow, which is why I created Grow My Business. 

Grow my Business is a strategic web solutions company that build awesome websites (over 130 and counting!) for small businesses focused on – you guessed it – growing their business!

I am thrilled by this fabulous opportunity to work with Kat and The Helpful Academy combining my strategic website building skills with her (business acumen) to create an affordable, accessible course for anyone to build an amazing website – easily!

Kat Soper Founder of The Helpful Academy

Kat Soper – Founder of The Helpful Academy

Hey, I’m Kat

As a business strategist, I’m not interested in helping you just create a “pretty” website. My main priority is helping you create a website which will attract your ideal customer, and inspire them to take the action(s) you want them to take.
 
I see your website as part of your overall marketing machine. It plays such an important part in your business, which is why it’s worth getting right.
 
I’ve worked with Iona for several years, and there’s noone I’d rather have worked with to bring you this awesome course.
More than getting you online, this course is about giving your business the best possible start.
