Guest Speaker: Karen Kirby, SME Marketing Expert.

With clever new tools available online, absolutely anyone can build a beautiful website and keep it updated. Whether it is a blog, a standard brochure website or fully fledged ecommerce site, I will show you how.

Karen will be discussing:

· What low cost tools are available
· Using Google Analytics to understand how well your website is performing
· What makes for effective website content? And how to create it (design/image/video)
· Building trust on the website
· The importance of matching content to key search phrases that your prospective buyers will use
· 10 tips for search engine optimisation (ensuring your site is viewed favourably by Google).

This webinar is for business owners who either; do not have a website, are not satisfied with their current site or have the ambition to sell products/services via their website.

Business owners may wish to learn this skill to manage the website themselves. Conversely they may choose a staff member who would like to take on an additional role of web design/maintenance. This workshop can be delivered to any education level/job role, though basic computer literacy is helpful.
