Getting the right mix for your website is a tricky task – it has to say the right things about your company, deliver the information visitors are looking for, work properly on all the different systems it might be viewed on and get a high ranking in the search engines. Meanwhile, it must be accessible to people with disabilities and easy for you to manage and maintain.

 

The key to a successful website is to plan ahead, armed with the knowledge of best practice in web design and the pitfalls to avoid. Whether you are looking to develop a full online eBusiness or simply wishing to market your products and services on the Internet this one-day workshop covers an extensive array of web design topics and gives you the tools to tackle your existing site or provide a detailed brief to a web designer.
