Course Description

In business today, almost every individual or company has a website to represent themselves or their business. Great emphasis is put on creating a website that is pleasing to the eye to get the reader’s attention. However little attention is focused on how to build a website to get the readers to the site in the first place. Most individuals or small companies assume that once their website is up on the internet that traffic will automatically and naturally come to them. This is not the case.

This 2 day workshop will explain the importance of understanding search engine optimization and then walk the participants through the process of what can be done as a non-technical person to optimize their own website.
