Pre-Workshop Prep Lesson — Setup & Expectations
A lesson page template that prepares participants with requirements, expectations, and setup instructions before a workshop begins — pilots a web design workshop but the pattern fits any cohort, retreat, or live workshop where pre-work determines outcomes.
Best for: Pre-workshop prep pages for cohorts, retreats, and live workshops where what the participant does before showing up determines whether the workshop works.

What it does
- Welcome and expectation panel — a clear breakdown of what the workshop will and won't cover, plus tone and energy signals
- Setup instructions — step-by-step list of what to install, sign up for, or download before the workshop
- Pre-work prompts — short questions or exercises the participant completes ahead of time
- Materials checklist — what to have on hand the day of (links, files, tools, accounts)
- Schedule and logistics block — start times, breaks, time zone, and what to do if something goes sideways
- Branded prep layout — matches the rest of the workshop's design system
Best use cases
- Web design and branding workshops — tool setup and brand-foundation pre-work
- Course creator workshops — outline and audience pre-work
- Coaching cohorts — values and intake pre-work
- Retreats and live events — packing list and pre-arrival reflection
- Software bootcamps — environment setup and pre-coursework
- Conference and summit pre-workshop pages — speaker materials and expectations
What you can change with your DNA
When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:
- Colors — slots for background, surface, expectation panel, setup steps, and the materials checklist
- Fonts — brand display for the welcome and section headers, body for instructions
- Copy — welcome message, expectation panel, four to eight setup steps, three to six pre-work prompts, materials checklist, and schedule block
- Images — instructor avatar in the welcome, screenshots for setup steps, and an optional workshop preview graphic
- Behavior — whether check state and answers persist, whether prep is required for entry, and whether the page links to a connected workshop platform
