January 12th thru February 9th, 2027Tuesdays, 1:00–2:30 p.m. Eastern · Live on ZoomWriting in Small Spaces: Your One-Page Website
A five-week website copywriting workshop for Certified Guided Autobiography Instructors
clear words, your own voice.You know what you offer. But finding the words to explain it to someone who has never met you? That's another skill entirely.
In this five-week workshop, you'll write the essential sections of a one-page website that introduces your GAB work, reflects your approach, and helps prospective participants decide whether it's right for them.
Your work deserves a clear introduction.
❋ Write clear website copy that sounds like you.
❋ Help readers understand your offerings and what to expect.
❋ Leave with a complete one-page website copy draft.
❋ Work in a small group of no more than six participants, live on Zoom.

Imagine you're visiting this page for the first time. You're deciding whether this workshop is right for you.
My job is to give you the information you need to make that decision—not make it for you.
Notice the opening: a recognizable challenge, a clear offer, and a few practical details. Enough to help you decide whether to keep reading.
A one-page website isn't a five-page website
squeezed onto one page.
It's a carefully edited introduction to your work.
For someone offering a workshop or a small selection of services, one page may be all that's needed. Visitors can find out who you are, what you offer, what to expect, and how to take the next step—without searching through multiple pages.
But keeping things simple takes thought. What does someone need to know before deciding whether to work with you? What deserves more explanation? And what can you leave out?
That's the writing we'll practise in this workshop: choosing what matters, then finding the words to say it well.
-
Editing is more than shortening.
This page could include my entire teaching history, every detail of the course, and a lengthy explanation of why I believe in this approach.
But would all that help you decide whether to register?
Good editing means deciding what your reader needs, what can wait, and what doesn't belong at all.
What you'll write
Using a prompt-based template, we'll work through five essential pieces of website copy:
Your opening introduction — Give visitors a clear sense of what you offer and who it's for.
Headlines and supporting text — Help readers find their way through the page.
Your About section — Introduce yourself and your approach without writing your entire autobiography.
Your workshop or service descriptions — Explain what participants can expect.
Your invitations to take the next step — Make it easy to enquire, register, or get in touch.
By the end of the class, you’ll feel confident to make decisions about what belongs, what can be left out, and how to put it all into words that sound like you.

How we'll work together:
We'll meet for five live, 90-minute Zoom sessions.
Each week combines guided writing prompts, practical instruction, time to work on your copy, and opportunities to share ideas and receive constructive feedback.
Allow yourself approximately 45–60 minutes between sessions to continue writing and revising.
With no more than six participants, there will be room for individual questions and discussion.
We'll also look at ways AI can assist with drafting and editing, if you choose to use it. It's an option, not a requirement—and your judgement and voice remain central to the process.
Is this workshop for you?
This workshop is designed for Certified Guided Autobiography Instructors who want to introduce their work online with greater clarity.
You might be starting from scratch, working with a website that no longer reflects what you offer, or simply struggling to explain your work in a way that feels natural.
You don't need previous copywriting experience.
One important distinction: This is a writing workshop, not a website design or technical setup course. We'll develop the words, not build the functioning website.
I'm Susan Tutt, a writer, educator, and Certified Guided Autobiography Instructor.
I began building websites during the 2020 lockdown, looking for ways to connect with students when meeting in person wasn't possible. Since then, I've continued creating websites and working with the challenge of communicating clearly online.
Through my former business, Seachange Creative, I developed a course on writing homepage copy and worked with people to make their website writing more focused, personal, and useful.
I know how easy it is to become tangled in your own words, particularly when you're trying to explain work that matters to you.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that good website writing should help people make informed choices—not pressure them into saying yes.
About Me
-
Your About section isn't your autobiography or résumé.
I've chosen details about my experience that help explain why I'm teaching this workshop. I've left out plenty of other things about myself.
That doesn't mean those other experiences are unimportant. They're simply not all relevant to this particular introduction.
Try this: Instead of asking, “What should I tell people about myself?” ask, “What would help someone feel informed about working with me?”
A few practical questions
-
You'll have the written copy for a one-page website, not a designed or published website. You can use that copy with a website builder or someone helping you create your site.
-
You're welcome to use this workshop to rethink or rewrite your existing copy. You don't need to start from scratch.
-
Not at all. A one-page website can be a complete solution for a simple offering, or a useful starting point for a larger website.
-
Fair question! I offer several different kinds of services and workshops, so a larger website makes sense for me now. But I've used one-page websites myself, particularly when getting something new off the ground. They're a practical place to start, and you can always add more pages as your work develops.
-
No. We'll discuss optional ways to use it, but you're welcome to write entirely without it.

An invitation to work with you isn't about pressure tactics.
By this point, you should have enough information to decide whether this workshop interests you.
My job now is to make the next step straightforward: dates, fees, registration, and what happens if plans change.
Notice what's missing: countdown clocks, exaggerated promises, and warnings that you'll miss your chance.
