Having a website is an essential part of a marketing strategy for any business but it doesn’t need to be complicated and you don’t need to have any special design skills – just a clear idea of your business and how you want it to be positioned online.

On this free online introductory workshop, we will help to guide you through the key decisions to be made in order to get a website for your business up and running.

We will look at the importance of choosing the correct domain name and hosting package, which website builder is right for you. We then look at how you create content for your website and which pages you will need based on your objectives in order to create a site map.

This workshop is designed for anyone who is starting a business who needs to build their website. It will enable you to take the steps towards planning and building your website so that your customers can find you online.
