WEBSITE COURSE - MODULE 6 TO MODULE 10
MODULE 6 — ADDING WHATSAPP & CONTACT FEATURES
What You Will Learn
A website should not only look good.
It should also make it easy for customers to contact the business.
In this module, you will learn how to add:
WhatsApp
Phone numbers
Email
Contact forms
Social media links
LESSON 1 — ADDING WHATSAPP
WhatsApp is very useful for businesses because customers can contact the business directly.
You can add WhatsApp to:
Buttons
The Contact page
The homepage
The footer
Example
Instead of having a button that says:
Contact Us
You can use:
Chat With Us on WhatsApp
When the customer clicks it, WhatsApp opens.
What you need
You need the business's WhatsApp number.
For example:
2348070000000
When creating the WhatsApp link, remember that the country code is used instead of the first 0.
So:
08070000000
becomes:
2348070000000
LESSON 2 — ADDING A WHATSAPP MESSAGE
You can make the WhatsApp button open with a ready-made message.
For example:
Hello, I would like to make an enquiry about your services.
This saves the customer time.
You can also create different messages for different buttons.
Example
Order Now
Message:
Hello, I would like to place an order.
Book Now
Message:
Hello, I would like to book your service.
LESSON 3 — ADDING A PHONE NUMBER
Some customers prefer to call.
Add the business phone number somewhere easy to find.
Good places include:
Contact page
Homepage
Footer
Header
Example
Call Us
07000000000
If Solo allows the phone number to be made clickable, set it up so that customers can tap the number on their phones.
LESSON 4 — ADDING EMAIL
If the business uses email, add it to the website.
For example:
Email Us
Email can be useful for:
Customer enquiries
Business enquiries
Partnerships
Sending documents
Professional communication
If the business doesn't have an email address, you don't have to create one just for the website.
LESSON 5 — ADDING A CONTACT FORM
A contact form allows visitors to send their information through the website.
A simple form might ask for:
Name
Phone Number
Message
Example
Contact Us
Name: __________
Phone: __________
Email: __________
Message: __________
[Send Message]
Don't ask for too much information.
Only collect information that the business actually needs.
LESSON 6 — ADDING SOCIAL MEDIA
Many businesses already have social media accounts.
You can add links to:
Instagram
Facebook
TikTok
YouTube
LinkedIn
Example
Follow Us
Instagram
Facebook
TikTok
When a customer clicks the icon or button, they should be taken to the correct social media account.
LESSON 7 — PUT CONTACT INFORMATION IN THE RIGHT PLACES
Don't hide the contact information.
A customer shouldn't have to search through the entire website just to find WhatsApp.
A simple setup could be:
Homepage
Chat on WhatsApp
Header
Call Us
Contact Page
Phone
WhatsApp
Email
Location
Contact Form
Footer
Phone
Email
Social Media
LESSON 8 — TEST EVERYTHING
This is extremely important.
After adding your contact features, test them.
Click the WhatsApp button.
Does WhatsApp open?
Phone
Tap the phone number.
Does it allow you to call?
Click the email address.
Does it open your email application?
Contact Form
Submit a test message.
Does the message get received?
Social Media
Click each social media icon.
Does it open the correct account?
Never give a website to a client without testing these features.
MODULE 6 PRACTICAL TASK
Now add contact features to your website.
Add WhatsApp
Add a WhatsApp button
Add a phone number
Add email if available
Add a contact form
Add social media links
Test WhatsApp
Test the phone number
Test the email
Test the contact form
Test social media links
Your goal
When someone visits your website, they should be able to answer one important question:
"How do I contact this business?"
If they can find the answer quickly, you've done it correctly.
NEXT MODULE
MODULE 7 — CONNECTING YOUR DOMAIN & PUBLISHING YOUR WEBSITE
In the next module, you will learn how to take the website you've built and make it available live on the internet using a professional domain name.
MODULE 7 — CONNECTING YOUR DOMAIN & PUBLISHING YOUR WEBSITE
What You Will Learn
In this module, you will learn how to take the website you've built and put it live on the internet.
You will learn:
What a domain is
How to choose a domain
How to get a domain
How to connect it to Solo
How to publish your website
How to test your live website
LESSON 1 — WHAT IS A DOMAIN?
A domain is the address of your website.
For example:
When someone types your domain into their browser, they can visit your website.
Think of it like a house.
Your website is the house.
Your domain is the address people use to find the house.
LESSON 2 — CHOOSING A DOMAIN NAME
Your domain should be:
Short
Avoid extremely long names.
Easy to remember
People should be able to remember it.
Easy to spell
Avoid complicated spellings when possible.
Related to the business
For example:
Noble Fashion
Possible domain:
LESSON 3 — CHOOSING A DOMAIN EXTENSION
The ending of a domain is called a domain extension.
Examples:
.com
.ng
.org
For most businesses, .com is a good choice when available.
For Nigerian businesses, .ng can also be a good option.
Example
or
Don't worry if the exact domain you want isn't available.
You can try another suitable name.
LESSON 4 — GETTING YOUR DOMAIN
A domain is purchased from a domain registrar.
Before buying one, check that the domain name is available.
Example
You want:
Search for the domain.
If it is available, you can purchase it.
If it isn't available, try another name.
Important
Be careful when choosing a domain.
Make sure you are buying the domain for the correct business name.
Also keep your domain login information safe.
LESSON 5 — CONNECTING YOUR DOMAIN TO SOLO
Once you have your domain, you can connect it to your website.
Inside Solo, look for the area related to:
Domain
or
Custom Domain
Solo will guide you through the connection process.
You may be asked to make changes to your domain settings with the company where you purchased the domain.
Don't panic if you see technical terms.
Simply follow the instructions Solo provides.
Important
Domain connection instructions can change depending on your domain provider and Solo's current setup.
Always follow the instructions shown in your Solo account.
LESSON 6 — PUBLISHING YOUR WEBSITE
Before publishing, don't rush.
First, check your website.
Make sure:
Business name is correct
Phone number is correct
WhatsApp works
Images are correct
Services/products are correct
Buttons work
Pages work
Website looks good on mobile
Once everything looks good, publish the website.
Solo will make the website available online.
LESSON 7 — VISIT YOUR LIVE WEBSITE
After publishing, open your domain in a new browser tab.
For example:
Your website should appear.
Now test it like a customer.
Click through every page.
Try the WhatsApp button.
Try the phone number.
Check the images.
Check the website on your phone.
LESSON 8 — WHAT IF SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK?
Don't panic.
Website problems happen.
If your domain doesn't work immediately, it may simply need some time to update.
If a button doesn't work:
Go back to the editor → check the link → save → publish again.
If an image is wrong:
Go back → replace the image → save → publish again.
If a page is missing:
Check your website menu and page settings.
The most important thing is to stay calm and troubleshoot one problem at a time.

Choose a domain name
Check if the domain is available
Purchase your domain
Connect the domain to Solo
Check your website
Publish the website
Open your domain
Test every page
Test WhatsApp

Test buttons
Check the website on your phone
Your Goal
At the end of this module, you should have:
A professional website that is live on the internet.
You can now send your website link to someone else and they can visit it.

You'll follow a complete project where we build a real business website from beginning to end.
MODULE 8 — BUILD A COMPLETE WEBSITE
What You Will Learn
In this module, we are going to put everything you've learned together.

Clean spaces
Make sure the images are clear and relevant.

Your goal:
Start with a business idea → Build the website → Customize it → Add contact features → Connect the domain → Publish it.
Once you can do this on your own, you have learned the basic website-building skill.
NEXT MODULE
MODULE 9 — HOW TO BUILD WEBSITES FOR CLIENTS
Now that you know how to build a website, we're going to learn how to turn this skill into a business.
You'll learn how to find people who need websites, what information to ask them for, how to price your work, and how to deliver the finished website.
MODULE 9 — BUILDING WEBSITES FOR CLIENTS
What You Will Learn
Now that you can build a website, you can start using the skill to make money.
In this module, you'll learn how to:
Find people who need websites
Talk to potential clients
Collect the information you need
Decide what to charge
Build the website
Deliver the finished website
You don't need to start with big companies.
Start small.
LESSON 1 — WHO NEEDS A WEBSITE?
Almost any business can benefit from a website.
Look for businesses such as:
Fashion businesses
Restaurants
Hotels
Salons
Barbers
Real estate businesses
Car dealers
Logistics companies
Cleaning companies
Event planners
Photographers
Construction companies
Schools
Consultants
Online businesses
A good place to start is with businesses around you.
LESSON 2 — HOW TO FIND BUSINESSES
You don't need to wait for clients to find you.
You can actively look for them.
Look on:
Search for businesses and check whether they have a website.
Look at business pages and groups.
Search for businesses in your city.
Tell friends, family and business owners that you build websites.
Your local area
Visit businesses and introduce your service.
LESSON 3 — FIND BUSINESSES WITHOUT WEBSITES
This is one of the easiest ways to find potential clients.
Imagine you find a restaurant with:
Good food
Good pictures
Active Instagram
Many customers
But they don't have a website.
That's a potential client.
You can contact them and explain how a website could help their business.
LESSON 4 — HOW TO CONTACT A POTENTIAL CLIENT
Don't immediately send:
"Do you need a website?"
Instead, show that you understand their business.
Example
Hello, I came across your business on Instagram and I really like what you're doing. I noticed you don't currently have a website, so I wanted to reach out. I build professional websites for businesses that help customers easily see their services, products and contact information. I'd be happy to show you what I can create for your business.
Keep your message short and professional.
LESSON 5 — DON'T TRY TO SELL TOO HARD
When someone responds, don't immediately start talking about price.
First, understand what they need.
Ask questions such as:
What does your business do?
What services or products do you offer?
Do you currently have a website?
What would you like the website to help you achieve?
Do you already have a domain name?
Do you have pictures and business information ready?
Their answers will help you understand the project.
LESSON 6 — COLLECT THE CLIENT'S INFORMATION
Before starting the website, collect everything you need.
Business Information
Business name
Business description
Location
Phone number
WhatsApp number
Email
Social media
Products/Services
Product names
Service names
Prices, if applicable
Descriptions
Images
Ask the client to send:
Logo
Product pictures
Business pictures
Team pictures
Other relevant images
Website Requirements
Ask:
What pages do you need?
Do you want WhatsApp?
Do you need a booking form?
Do you need a product section?
Do you already have a domain?
LESSON 7 — AGREE ON THE PRICE BEFORE STARTING
This is very important.
Don't build the entire website before agreeing on the price.
Tell the client:
What you will build
How much it will cost
What is included
What is not included
How payment will work
Example
Business Website — ₦150,000
Includes:
Professional website
Up to 5 pages
Mobile-friendly design
WhatsApp integration
Contact form
Domain setup
Website publishing
You can create your own packages based on the type of website you're building.
LESSON 8 — GET A DEPOSIT
For client work, consider collecting a deposit before you begin.
For example:
Total: ₦150,000
Deposit: ₦50,000
Balance: ₦100,000
The deposit confirms that the client is ready for you to start.
Never assume that someone is serious simply because they say:
"Go ahead."
Get the agreed payment first.
LESSON 9 — BUILD THE CLIENT'S WEBSITE
Once the client provides the information and your payment arrangement is confirmed:
Start building.
Follow the process you've already learned:
Plan → Create → Edit → Add Pages → Add Images → Add Contact Features → Test → Publish
Don't rush.
Your goal is to give the client a website that looks professional and works properly.
LESSON 10 — SHOW THE CLIENT THE WEBSITE
When the first version is ready, send the client the website preview or link.
Ask them to review it.
Tell them to check:
Business information
Images
Services
Products
Contact information
Phone number
WhatsApp
Other important details
If something needs to be corrected, make the agreed changes.
LESSON 11 — DON'T OFFER UNLIMITED CHANGES
This is important when working with clients.
A client may keep saying:
"Change this."
Then:
"Change that."
Then:
"Let's change the whole design."
To avoid this, clearly explain how many revisions are included.
For example:
Package includes 2 rounds of revisions.
A revision means a reasonable set of changes requested by the client.
Major changes outside the agreed scope can be charged separately.
LESSON 12 — DELIVER THE WEBSITE
Once the client approves the website and the remaining payment has been made:
Deliver the website.
Give them:
Live website link
Domain information
Important login information, where appropriate
Basic instructions for using the website
Keep records of the project.
LESSON 13 — ASK FOR A TESTIMONIAL
After completing the project, ask the client for a testimonial.
For example:
"Thank you for working with us. If you're happy with the website, we'd really appreciate a short review about your experience."
A good testimonial can help you get your next client.
You can also ask the client if they know another business that may need a website.
That's how one client can lead to another client.
MODULE 9 PRACTICAL TASK
Your task is to pretend that you have received your first client.
Choose a business and prepare:
Business name
Business description
Services/products
Phone number
WhatsApp number
Location
Social media
Required website pages
Website price

Then practice sending your client introduction message.

NEXT MODULE
MODULE 10 — GETTING YOUR FIRST CLIENT
In the next module, we'll focus specifically on how to get your first paying website client, including building your portfolio, finding businesses, sending messages, and promoting your website service.
MODULE 10 — GETTING YOUR FIRST CLIENT
What You Will Learn
You now know how to build a website.
The next question is:
"How do I get someone to pay me to build one?"
In this module, you'll learn simple ways to find your first client.
You don't need a large audience.
You don't need thousands of followers.
You just need to find businesses that need what you offer and approach them properly.
LESSON 1 — BUILD YOUR PORTFOLIO
Before asking someone to pay you, it's helpful to have examples of your work.
Your portfolio is simply a collection of websites you've built.
You don't need 20 websites.
Start with 2–3 good examples.
Example portfolio
Build websites for:
1. Restaurant
2. Fashion business
3. Real estate business
These can be demo businesses if you don't have clients yet.
LESSON 2 — BUILD DEMO WEBSITES
You can create websites specifically for practice.
For example:
Demo 1
Noble Fashion
Fashion website.
Demo 2
Noble Eats
Restaurant website.
Demo 3
Noble Properties
Real estate website.
You don't need to actually own these businesses.
You're simply showing potential clients:
"This is what I can build."
LESSON 3 — CREATE A SIMPLE PORTFOLIO
You can create one website that displays your work.
For example:
BERLAIN WOLF TECH
Professional Website Design
Then show:
Website Example 1
[View Website]
Website Example 2
[View Website]
Website Example 3
[View Website]
Add a button:
Build My Website
This gives potential clients somewhere to see your work.
LESSON 4 — FIND BUSINESSES ON INSTAGRAM
Instagram is a great place to look for businesses.
Search for businesses in your area.
For example:
Restaurants in Port Harcourt
Fashion designers in Port Harcourt
Real estate companies in Port Harcourt
Hotels in Port Harcourt
Look at their profiles.
Ask:
Do they have a website?
If they don't, they could be a potential client.
LESSON 5 — FIND BUSINESSES ON FACEBOOK
Do the same thing on Facebook.
Look for:
Business pages
Local business groups
Entrepreneurs
Small business owners
Service providers
Look for businesses that are active but don't have a website.
These businesses are worth contacting.
LESSON 6 — USE WHATSAPP
You can also get clients through people you already know.
Tell:
Friends
Family
Colleagues
Business owners
Church/community contacts
Other entrepreneurs
that you build websites.
Example
You could send:
Hi, I recently started offering professional website design for businesses. If you know any business owner who needs a website, I'd really appreciate a referral.
You never know who might know someone who needs your service.
LESSON 7 — DIRECTLY CONTACT BUSINESSES
This is called direct outreach.
You find a potential client and contact them yourself.
Don't send hundreds of random messages.
Instead, find businesses that genuinely look like they could benefit from a website.
Simple message
Hello, I came across your business and I really like what you're doing. I noticed you don't currently have a website. I build professional websites for businesses and I'd love to create one for your brand. Can I show you an example of my work?
Short.
Friendly.
Professional.
LESSON 8 — SHOW YOUR WORK
If the person responds:
"Yes, send it."
Don't send a long explanation.
Send your portfolio.
For example:
Absolutely. Here are some examples of websites I've built:
[Website 1]
[Website 2]
[Website 3]
Then ask:
Would you like me to create something similar for your business?
LESSON 9 — DON'T LEAD WITH PRICE
When contacting someone for the first time, don't make your first message:
"I build websites for ₦100,000. Do you want one?"
Instead:
Start a conversation.
Understand their business.
Show them what you can do.
Then discuss pricing.
This makes the conversation much more natural.
LESSON 10 — USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO ATTRACT CLIENTS
Don't only contact people.
Let people discover you too.
Post your website work on:
Instagram
Facebook
TikTok
WhatsApp Status
Example post
Does your business need a professional website?
We build clean, mobile-friendly websites for businesses.
WhatsApp us today to get started.
Then show a screenshot or video of a website you've built.
LESSON 11 — SHOW BEFORE & AFTER
This is a great way to demonstrate your skill.
Show:
BEFORE
A business with no website or poor online presence.
Then:
AFTER
A professional website you've created.
This helps potential clients understand the value of your service.
LESSON 12 — DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO SAY YES
This is normal.
You might contact 10 businesses and get:
7 — No response
2 — Not interested
1 — Interested
That's okay.
The goal is not to convince everyone.
The goal is to find the businesses that actually need your service.
Don't become discouraged when someone says no.
Move on and keep looking.
LESSON 13 — FOLLOW UP
Sometimes a potential client is interested but gets busy.
You can follow up later.
For example:
Hello, just following up on our conversation about the website for your business. Let me know if you'd still like to discuss it. I'd be happy to help.
Don't spam people.
One or two polite follow-ups are enough.
MODULE 10 PRACTICAL TASK
Now it's time to take action.
Step 1
Build 2 demo websites.
Demo Website 1
Demo Website 2
Step 2
Create a simple portfolio.
Add your website examples
Add your contact information
Add your WhatsApp button
Step 3
Find 10 businesses that don't have websites.
Write down:
Business name
Business type
Phone/WhatsApp
Instagram/Facebook
What they do
Step 4
Contact them professionally.
Send your introduction message.
Step 5
If someone responds, show them your portfolio and start a conversation.
YOUR FIRST CLIENT GOAL
Don't focus on getting 10 clients immediately.
Focus on getting:
ONE CLIENT.
One client gives you:
Experience
Money
A real project
A testimonial
A portfolio example
Confidence
Then you can use that experience to get the next client.
THE SIMPLE FORMULA
Remember:
BUILD → SHOW → CONTACT → FOLLOW UP → CLOSE → DELIVER → GET REFERRALS
That's how you turn your website-building skill into a business.
COURSE COMPLETION
Congratulations!
You now understand the basic process of:
Creating a website → Making it professional → Adding contact features → Publishing it → Building websites for clients → Finding customers
But there is still one important skill to learn:
How to use AI to build websites faster.
