Why does getting a website for your business seem so complex and frustrating?
Getting a website live on the web (especially for a business) can be totally confusing and overwhelming, can't it? Do you ever feel like you'll "Never get it?" Do you maybe "Feel like a dinosaur?" These are actual statements that I hear all the time from business owners just like you.
And it's a familiar feeling, because I was once there too...
Years and years ago...(way back in the late 90's), I was in exactly the same spot as you. I had an online business I wanted to build. I knew I had a great product. But I had no idea how to get started. It all seemed so technical and confusing...
Web servers? Code? Techie stuff?
Are you kidding me?!
I just wanted to get my business on the web. And I didn't want to have to get a PhD to do it. I also didn't want to pay big money to hire a flaky freelance designer...and be totally dependent on them, either.
But at the same time (and this is important), way back then, I didn't want to have to become a web designer either. None of that dorky stuff was interesting. What I wanted was to be an independent business owner! I wanted to use the same tools and methods as web designers used, and leverage them to get the same (or even better) results.
Way back then, that was the goal...
Do you feel the same way?
Well...after years and years of trial and error, running online businesses, and teaching people just like you...I've been able to distill everything down into a single online course.
And so, I've gotta ask you...
Are You...Ready For Lift-Off?!
Back when I was first starting out all those years ago what I really wanted was this...
Rather than all the hassle and frustration...Rather than all the endless digging and sorting through junky articles and videos...what I really wanted was...
To get everything I needed to know, nothing more, nothing less, all in one shot. A single course that didn't waste my time or go into needless detail or unnecessary nonsense.
I wanted a teacher who sat me down, took me by the hand, and walked me step-by-step through every procedure, process, and exact set of tasks I needed to get started. Someone who didn't bore me to death or waste my time. I wanted a course that would give me the skills and confidence to handle my website on my own.
That's why I've put together this new course for you, Ready For Lift-Off: How To Build And Run Your Business Website Yourself -- an online course that condenses everything you need to know, and delivers it in an easy to follow, lesson-by-lesson format.
So in your new course, you'll be taken through the entire process of getting your business website online. You'll learn and discover the tools the "pros" use to save yourself huge amounts of money, hassle, and effort.

"I had no doubts that Ready For Lift-Off would do exactly what Geoff said it would do. I never thought I’d see the day that I’d have an official website, much less create one myself. In fact, I couldn’t wait to get ahold of this course! Geoff’s tutorials are like Cracker Jacks, there’s always a surprise or two, or three, or four! Geoff actually covers some CSS coding methods to enhance the default design that the free themes in WordPress offer. I was amazed by this! Especially since no additional costs or tools were needed other than the applications already installed on most computers, and Geoff’s highly recommended sites for free tools to accomplish the tasks. As a newbie of the craft of WordPress web design, I found every lesson to be extremely valuable, because I had no clue where to start. Ready For Lift-Off is a very straightforward way to get your website up and running efficiently and quickly. Also, being in control of your own website gives the freedom to make changes on impulse rather than waiting for someone else to do it. That would drive me crazy! I’m really looking forward to part two of this course. Thank you Geoff!"

"Geoff’s expert teaching has guided me through the journey of learning web design. I started out as a complete beginner, but with Geoff’s excellent training, I graduated at the top of my 3-year college program in just 2 years, which I could not have done otherwise (in fact, his training was to a much higher standard than my school’s). Now after learning so much with Geoff, I’ve gained a full time job as a web designer. Geoff helped get me that break, which I’m sure without his help simply wouldn’t have happened."
"Finally, training that delivers! I have taken courses from numerous vendors, but absolutely none of them begin to compare with this course. I’ve taken a ton of courses from Lynda.com and frankly came away with more theory than practical application. But not with this course, you will get your hands dirty with code, you will be challenged to think through issues on your own but in the end you will have taken a giant step forward in learning to build a WordPress theme from scratch! Geoff is an outstanding instructor, I think I laughed almost as much as I learned. If you’re serious about improving your skills with WordPress then sign up for this course, lock yourself in your office and get to work. I promise it will be worth it! By the way I’ve been so impressed with Geoff as an instructor that this is the third course I’ve taken from him and will soon be starting on my fourth!"
"I like the easy going, friendly style of these courses. Keeps my attention and I can listen to your voice for hours without drifting! I tried a couple of Lynda courses previously, but found I lost interest quickly. Much better courses on Ten Ton Online!"
"I love Geoff’s training courses. It’s like he’s sitting right beside me, taking me through everything step-by-step!"
"I can’t tell you how many times I sat there and said “Oh, that’s how you do that!” throughout this course. Most importantly, Geoff explains the “why” along with the “how,” so I didn’t feel like I was left in the dark. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get the most out of Photoshop with web design. The word “helpful” doesn’t even begin to describe Geoff!"
"From the web layout’s header, down to the footer, Geoff literally walks us through each section of the design, including graphics, code and so much more. Plus, after learning all his helpful Photoshop hints, tips and tricks, all I can say is that I wish I found this course sooner!"
"Champagne videos! After trawling the web looking for many answers, your videos have answered them all and more! Thanks heaps for this knowledge as it’s saved so much time. They’re simply the best tutorials on the matter. Cheers!"
"A big thank you for your amazing, easy to understand videos. I love your easy going style, it makes them so much easier to follow and have a good laugh as well. You have the uncanny knack of getting inside our heads and knowing what we find confusing. Amazing! Many thanks!"
"Awesome. I LOVE how easy it was to follow you. The way you took time to explain every single action made this a great tutorial. Many, many thanks!"
"I seriously feel like how Neo felt when he just learned kung fu going through these videos, it cleared up a lot thank you!"
"This course was great. Geoff’s concise, easy way of teaching is fantastic. Everything is so easy to understand and makes so much sense. I’ve used other online schools but was totally lost until I found Ten Ton. It is a real pleasure to learn from these videos."
"Man, that was the BEST video course ever! Thanks Geoff, that makes so much sense to me, and is easy to follow!"
"AAAAAhahaha, what great work! I really enjoy the enthusiasm and clarity in your delivery! I've been freelance web designing for a few years and it's sites like yours that really helped me to evolve into a better designer. Now I can build e-commerce sites for clients too! Many thanks for your hard work and I wish you the best in the future!"
"I must say, your courses have been a life saver! I wasn't new to building websites but I was new to WordPress. Your courses have open new avenues for me. There are still a few things that I want to know more about and I see that you offer those courses too. So, I'll be back to purchase another course, for sure!"
"Just when I thought that this was going to be a tough subject to learn, Geoff totally flipped the switch on me. He made this SO easy. It was like he literally took me by the hand and told me exactly what I had to do, and exactly HOW to do it! Plus, he made the whole process fun and easy. I also couldn’t believe that he packed so much information in one little place! And I think the best thing about this, was that I could always stop the video, go back if I needed to fully understand something, and continue on at my own pace. Thanks Geoff. I’ll definitely be back for more!"
