Website, Landing Page and E-Commerce Development

About Course

A website may look polished and still fail to explain the offer, earn trust or generate a sale. Founders often begin with templates and colours before deciding what visitors need to understand and do. This course provides a practical path from business objectives and customer journeys to a responsive website, focused landing pages and a dependable e-commerce experience. You will define the website’s business job, choose a platform and technical setup, and organise the sitemap, navigation and content. You will build responsive, accessible pages and campaign landing pages before configuring products, payments, shipping and the checkout journey. The course then addresses SEO, analytics, privacy, security and launch testing. Every section produces a useful asset, including a website brief, sitemap, page plan, landing-page wireframe, store checklist and measurement dashboard. By the end, you will become a website and e-commerce builder: able to create a credible digital presence, convert campaign traffic and operate a customer-ready online store. You will leave with a launch-ready website and a 90-day optimisation roadmap. Successful learners receive a Scalelab Academy certificate, lifetime course access, future updates and access to course-specific AI tools for site planning, copywriting, SEO, accessibility review and conversion improvement.
