Effective Websites 

Raise a website you can be proud of later

When it comes to putting together their first business website – or creating one that can help them achieve more of their bottom-line goals – the first question a lot of business owners tend to have is, "Where do I even start?"

That's not always an easy question to answer, especially if you don't know the difference between HTML and a ham sandwich. Luckily, you don't have to become an Internet guru to get the web working for your business. All you have to do is know and understand a few key concepts, and you can learn them all in this session, presented by veteran web designer Tammy Finch.

In this short presentation, she'll teach you everything you need to know to take the most important first steps toward putting your small business online.


Workshop Registration Fee- $5.00 ($10 for walk-ins)   (payable at registration by credit/debit card or Paypal- no refunds)

 

Workshop Agenda

  • The most important parts of a small business website, and how to plan for them
  • Which free templates and tools to take advantage of, and which ones you should stay away from
  • The benefits and drawbacks of no-cost platforms like WordPress and Wix
  • How to promote your website through local directories, social media, and the major search engines
  • Why it's so important to think about online marketing before you launch your business website… not after
  • Understanding web statistics: which ones are important, and how to make the most of them
  • Deciding when to get professional web design help, setting the right budget, and deciding which web design company to work with

If you're about to take your company online – or are interested in taking it to the next level through better planning and online marketing – then this is a session you don't want to miss!
