WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Increasing your online presence: Branding, websites & SEO

Every business no matter how large or small needs a website. Does your website accurately reflect your products or services? Does it generate leads for you or help you sell your products?

If the answer to the questions above is no, then you should attend this workshop.

Overview:

Websites are the most important marketing tool for all businesses - other forms of marketing should aim to drive traffic to them. Often when starting a new business, it’s hard to understand what you need to consider when commissioning a site. Established businesses often don’t have the chance to keep up to date with digital marketing and their websites can look out of date or not have all the functionality they need as their business grows.

We will cover the critical areas that you need to consider to ensure that your website works for you.

Topics to be covered:

• Basics of branding, website design and layout
• Types of websites and functionality you need
• Getting your message across and being authentic
• SEO and improving performance on Google

  This will be an interactive seminar so you can ask questions as we go along along with breakout sessions for you to work on plans for your own business.

Entrepreneurs, start-ups & SMEs. This workshop is ideal for all businesses from start-ups to those aspiring to grow.
