You have lifetime access to the materials. You'll have access to any updates we make to the materials. Plus, you're invited to go through the live workshop every time we run it again so you can continue working on your brand and getting support.

Workshop materials are all accessible via the web. They are presented in video, step-by-step tutorials, and pdf worksheet formats. You can view on your smart phone, tablet, or computer.

Live events will happen in our Facebook group and on video calls using Zoom, or another web conferencing service. All live events will be recorded and available as replays, so anyone who can't make it live can watch the replay.

A calendar with dates for all the live events will be shared with participants.

Q & A sessions will be recorded so you can watch the replay later.

We engage with you! We believe in getting to know everyone who takes our workshops. You won't be alone, we'll know your name and your business!

As one workshop participant said "... your engagement with this group was unprecedented. Truly. You are so very generous with your knowledge and your time.”

During the live portion of the workshop May 23-June 23 Christie will check in daily in our Facebook group to answer any questions you have as you implement the brand and website modules.

You're invited to share what you're learning and implementing for feedback in our Facebook group.

You'll receive feedback in our Facebook group from Christie on brand foundation, brand style definer, and brand identity homework, as well as your logo designs, style guide, website copy, and website designs that you share in the group. This feedback will be given on materials you share through June 28.

You'll also be able to ask Christie questions during Facebook Lives, our Q & A calls and during our group create-ins (co-working events).

If you've upgraded to the "1-on-1 Support" version of The Brand Workshop you can choose to receive all your feedback via email instead of the Facebook group.

We'll officially get started branding on May 23.

As much as you can!

If your schedule allows, plan to devote a couple of hours each day to building your brand.

That will give you time to get the most out of the live aspects of the workshop ... and time to think through the brand foundation lessons, implement the branding/website design processes, post your work for feedback, and update your work based on that feedback.

But ... don’t freak out if life gets in the way and you can’t devote as much time as you'd like to the live workshop.

We understand that real life and real business don't always work on the schedule we'd like ... and that’s why we’ve given you lifetime access to the workshop materials and an open invitation to go through this live with us each time we run it. We've got you covered for the obstacles that life might throw in the way of your branding.

Devote as much time as you can, even if that's only 15 minutes some days.

Work at the pace that’s right for you and your business and your life. Follow the step-by-step process until you’ve launched your site, whether that’s before the 4th of July or after.

No, you don't need a website. We'll teach you how to start from zero and build your website using WordPress with the Divi theme.

If your current web host supports WordPress, you can redo your website using the Divi theme.
