It is at this point that the relationship with the web designer may become strained or even break down altogether. This interactive session will help you to understand where responsibilities lie, give an understanding of how to overcome common early problems that can escalate as the project progresses, and will enable you to take control of the process of developing your website and maintaining good relations with your web designer. The course will include: • Where do you start? • Common early problems • Specifying your requirements • Choosing a web designer • Questions to ask • Managing the process http://www.BaytonHub.com/Events/March-2010/Writing-effective-copy-for-your-website--Rugby.aspx http://www.BaytonHub.com/Events/March-2010/Writing-effective-copy-for-your-website--Rugby.aspx Mon, 14 Dec 2009 09:39:15 GMT Date: Thursday 18 March 2010........Words, despite their power to seduce and to persuade, are often overlooked on websites. How many sites are let down by poorly written copy that fails to grab the reader’s attention, fails to maximise the chances of being found in search engines and fails to deliver a real punch that will have potential customers reaching for the “buy now” button? Developing a website takes both time and resource, but a good website is far more than clever graphics or lists of keywords. In this interactive workshop you will learn how to: • Structure your website for best effect • Write copy that draws readers in, rather than repelling them • Answer the “What’s in it for me?” question • Guide the journey through your website to increase your profitability • Encourage your customers to interact with you – and to return to your site • Recognise the differences between writing for your website, press release or brochure • Simple rules for writing effective copy Who should attend? Anyone who has a website (or is setting one up) and wants to write copy that really pulls its weight http://www.BaytonHub.com/Events/March-2010/Take-control-of-your-web-designer--Rugby.aspx http://www.BaytonHub.com/Events/March-2010/Take-control-of-your-web-designer--Rugby.aspx Mon, 14 Dec 2009 09:42:25 GMT Date: Tuesday 23 March 2010........Too often a business sets up a website that does not really meet their requirements, or that stagnates through lack of updates.

To help in understanding their new responsibilities and to comply with these regulations & controls, Warwickshire County Council are hosting a FREE Environmental Legislation Update & Resource Efficiency seminar. To help companies cope and put minds at ease, we have secured the services of a speaker from the Environment Agency who will brief local businesses on recent and pending environmental legislation, together with an update on key aspects of pertinent existing regulations. Under Resource Efficiency, a speaker from Envirowise will explore Water Use Management, a topic which increasingly requires attention. We are all aware of the importance of using water efficiently, however what is not generally recognised is that many water saving projects can very quickly pay for themselves. This Free seminar is being hosted by Warwickshire County Council in association with Business Link West Midlands and will be followed by a free buffet, and an opportunity for further discussions.
