“What You Need Your Website To Do For You”

Sandy and David know that designing a website for your business can be an overwhelming task. There is so much to learn and understand about web design, search engine optimization and drawing clients to your website. As a business owner or soon to be, you also know that if your business does not have a website, you cannot be found.

They will share with you how you can get your business online with an effective website that won’t break the bank. Topics that will be covered are, Planning Your Website, Getting Your Website to Work for You (lead generation), Search Engines & Marketing and Ownership of A Website – Do You Really Own It?

Several months ago we found a web service called Picnik. As calgary web developers who deliver “content management systems” to our clients, it was important to teach the client how to manipulate thier content images prior to placing them on their websites.

Before Picnik came along, the only option was to try to teach the clients how to use desktop software to crop and resize their images. These were the most common functions that the client needs to know. Most of the commonly needed funcitons that Picnik offers are FREE!

For an optional, and nominal, fee of $24.95 per year you can unlock the more advances features, fonts and techniques available to premium subscribers. It is well worth every penny. The team that developed, and continues to develop Picnik, deserve our support!

With the advent of Picnik, now it’s really fun teaching clients to use the web-based application! If you have a content managed website, blog or if you use facebook or any web based social network… you should give Picnik a try! (link is further down the page…)
