Let’s Talk About Your Website   Cost: $49

 

Here’s the idea:

Every website has strengths and weaknesses, things done well and not so well. Looking at your peers’ websites is a great and fun way to learn a lot about improving your own. 

 

So we invite a small group of you to join us for a lively interactive as we gently critique each website in the group as a shared way to learn about building a better website.

 

We will keep the groups small so that we have room for discussion and dialogue.  We are likely to touch on web optimization, web marketing, content, content organization, and perhaps some design and usability issues.

 

Takeaway:  Dos and don’ts for improving the effectiveness of your site

 

Who Should Attend: Entrepreneurs and senior managers who would like to pick up new ideas and best practices to make their websites more effective.

 

Webinar Length: 60- 90 minutes, depending on the number of participants

Webinar Class Size: MAXIMUM of 8 attendees

Course Charge: $49
