Does every business need a website?

The answer is yes, even if you are a small business.  The main reason is that
too many consumers (and all Millenials) now search for information online prior to making a purchase at a brick-and-mortar store.

It's not enough that you just have a website. You must have a professional-looking site if you want to be taken seriously. Your site may be the first chance you have at making a good impression on a potential buyer. It's actually better to have no website at all than to have one that makes your business look bad. 

Course Description:  In this workshop we will learn how setup a wordpress.com website, how to create and publish posts and pages to a website. Plus, learn how to add the images, videos, and links that make blog spots pop, enables social sharing and mobile browsing, and change the appearance of you site with custom themes, widgets, and menus. Read more about why WordPress is the right choice for your website.

Who should attend: This course is ideal for people who are looking to learn about publishing a website or blog for their business. No special knowledge or skill required except the basic knowledge of using a computer to access the Internet.
