How to Get More from Your Small Business Website

Are you able to say in no more than 15 words exactly what the purpose of your website is?

As your digital shopfront, it needs to attract the kind of visitors you’re looking for, engage them and encourage them to take the action you want.

But these are broad generalisations; if your website is to be truly effective, it’s crucial you’re able to define Its purpose far more specifically, so that the design and content can be crafted to bring about the outcome you want.

This is the theme that underpins our upcoming workshop ‘How to Get More from Your Small Business Website’, which will be presented by web guru Ed Hollingshead from WebBoutiques.
