The aim of the web page training is to learn and understand the principles of web page writing by spending a day doing it yourself "hands-on". Apart from a few creative ideas, attendees on the course bring along information about their own business in the form of sales brochures, letterheads, logos and photographs.
Businesses gain
confidence in using the technology, creating their own site as well as keeping
control of their own information and subsequent updates to their site. The small
workshop approach allows one-to-one help in translating their creative ideas
into a prototype site.
Web advertising and selling is value-for-money on the small investment needed sand allows a small business to have a 24-hour-a-day presence on the World Wide Web equal to a much larger urban business. With the added opportunity to sell by using the Internet to communicate with their customers, many businesses can make use of the growing importance of e-commerce which is now increasing by 20% a year.
