KLSBEC Building a Website Workshop - Two Part Series

Building a Website Using a Template - Two Part Series

Just about every business needs a website. Even if customers don’t actually buy online, they are still doing extensive online research before making a purchase. Having a website provides the perfect opportunity for you to showcase your goods or services and to engage with current and potential customers.

This workshop is for business owners who don’t have a website but know they need one. Even if you plan to outsource the development of your website, to get a site that really meets your business needs, it is essential to know how to write a good plan and which questions to ask your developers.

Beyond being able to ‘surf the net’, no previous or technical knowledge is required to attend this workshop.
