When did you last look at your business’s website? Or perhaps you are still trying to develop one? Websites remain an incredibly popular destination for site traffic. When you add up all of the functions and ways they can work for and represent your business, nothing works harder online than a professional website. 

It can also be daunting to create one with various tools and design suggestions floating around. In this workshop, we will cover recent trends in website design for businesses and other organizations. That will include the latest in content and design best practices and what tools you can use to create a site and why. But most importantly, we will cover the 10 key elements of website design that determine whether a website is just OK or great. We will also touch on submitting your site to Google for rankings and security and hosting considerations.

So, if you want to super-charge your website and make it an active resource for getting new customers, this workshop is for you!

We will focus on getting clients, taking good care of them and avoiding the consultant’s paradox. How should you do invoicing – in advance or in arrears? What are your key performance indicators? And we will have time to answer any specific questions. This will be all real life, no theory. Come prepared to take notes and be ready to take action tomorrow morning.
