Workshop: Get a Google website for FREE

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I have enjoyed building websites for the last 13 years and over the years there have been many publishing tools available to people to build a website. Often people need to learn new skills in order to make the most of the software.

Things have moved on since and now there are a number of companies that allow you to create websites with just a few clicks and little experience of web technologies.

I’m pleased to have joined the ‘Getting British Businesses Online campaign’ which is giving SME’s  a free .co.uk domain and the facility to create a free website with Google tools.

As part of  the Social Media Cider Café, I’m pleased to be leading a workshop for local businesses in the South West to help them get their Free websites up and running.

While it might not be appropriate for everyone, I think this is a great opportunity of any small business who wish to manage or enhance their online presence.

The Workshop is on 29th June at Clevedon Hall from 10:00 am – 12:00pm. Registration is now open.

BristolSkillSwap

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

I was invited to the monthly meetings of the BristolSkillSwap to hear Joe Leech speak about usability. It was a very enjoyable talk with plenty of laughs. A good opportunity to say hello to a few people I’ve met through Steve’s work, and a good excuse to go out in the evening without a nappy bag!
