Professional Website Design Workshop

2-day Course

Ideal for those commencing a web-based role or job, as well as for new business owners who want to understand the core principles and be able to brief and critique the design companies they commission. This course teaches our clients about the design aspects of the web user interface, as well as marketing aspects and social media. The course teaches clients how to create an engaging, well structured and clear website that holds the viewer's attention during those first crucial seconds. And more than that it advises on how to direct the viewer through the site instead of sending them elsewhere. Delivered by a web expert.
