Project Description
WEB DESIGN COURSES – MANCHESTER OVERVIEW:
Websites are increasingly the marketing tool of choice for visual artists, photographers, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and small businesses. This is because your potential customers are looking for services on Google more than any other way. Most potential clients will start with Google when they want to find or research a recommendation, and your website is likely to be the first “point of call” for these potential clients. If you are looking to make that all important right first impression, a strong online presence is the only way to do this. By designing your own website, this gives you the ideal opportunity to make sure you are found by your customers.
WHO WOULD THIS COURSE SUIT?
This course is specifically aimed anyone who is starting their own business or is currently running the business, but doesn’t want to pay out thousands of pounds on a website they could build and develop themselves. At the end of the 2 day training, you will have a fully functioning, fully customisable website that will not only be visually appealing, instantly searchable and easy to manage, but also a site that will work on several levels – an image / catalogue that sells, a portfolio that entices, a platform to deliver news and opinion in the form of a blog
SEO – WILL MY WEBSITE BE REGISTERED WITH GOOGLE?
During the course we will show you how to register your website with Google. We will teach you all the basics of SEO and how to set up and manage the strategy yourself. Most marketing agencies charge around £300 – £500 per month to run SEO campaigns for you. This means you will literally save thousands of pounds every year just by attending this course. In short, if you follow the guidelines provided to you on the course, you have every chance of getting your website to the top of Google for your ideal customer to find you.
