Running a website – All full up!

Dan Harrison — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:19:54 +0000

On 21st May, I ran a presentation on how to run a website. I only had space for an audience of 20, but I had over 45 people interested in attending! I filled up the 20 spaces I had available in just 3 days of advertising the event. Therefore I’m running the presentation again on 18th June. However, much to my surprise, the 2nd presentation was filled to capacity in just 12 hours of advertising it!

Suffice to say, I’ll probably be running the presentation again in the near future. If you are interested in attending one of my presentations (which will usually be near Southampton or Winchester in Hampshire), do let me know your ideas for topics.

I will advertise any events or presentations I’m doing here on DanHarrison.co.uk. If you want the news as soon as its released (particularly as my presentations are filled up quickly), please just subscribe via RSS or email. The subscription buttons are on the top right of the page.

My Presentation on “Running a Website” – 18th June 2009

Dan Harrison — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:45:03 +0000

I shall be presenting on the topic of “Running a website (for business or pleasure)” at the IBM Hursley Clubhouse on 18th June 2009 (which is a repeat of the previous event on 21st May 2009). The event is sponsored by the British Computer Society (BCS), and so tickets are free to BCS and non-BCS members.

Please note that this is a booking only event. Sorry, but the event is now fully booked!

Here is the brief for the event:

More and more people are realising that they need to create a website for their business, club or special interest group. A successful website is not something that’s created overnight using Dreamweaver, Microsoft Word or any other off-the-shelf package. That’s only the beginning.

In order for websites to raise awareness about your services, products or group, websites need to be found in the search engines. Visitors to your site also need to be able to find out everything they need from your website before they actually contact you or before they purchase something.

In this presentation, Dan will introduce you to key aspects regarding running a website, such as getting into the search engines, being found by prospective visitors, gaining links to your site, making your site user-friendly and tracking who is visiting your website.

After the presentation, there will be a break, and then a Q & A session. If you have specific answers about your own website, do contact Dan Harrison with your questions, and he can prepare some answers for the Q & A session.

Time: Arrive by 6.45pm for 7pm start, ending at 9.00pm
Venue: (directions)
Osman Room,
IBM Hursley Clubhouse,
Hursley Park,
Winchester,
SO21 2JN.

Please note that the clubhouse is not near the main IBM building. The IBM clubhouse is further along the Hursley Park Road.
