Free Website for Lucky Winner to be Built during Staten Island Web Design Workshop

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 29, 2012 - Susan Fowler, owner of Fast Smart Web Design, offers three related workshops on three consecutive Thursdays at Christ Church New Brighton, 76 Franklin Ave., from 7:30-9 p.m. July 5 is the date of the first workshop, "How Much Do You Have to Pay for a Website?"

One participant, chosen by raffle, gets a free sample website built live during the session. All participants are welcome to bring their laptops and follow along step by step.

Topics to be covered are:

* How many types of websites are there, and which is the right type for you?
* Is “free” good? How to know you’ve outgrown “free.”
* The three pieces you have to pay for, when you pay for a website, and how much they cost.
* How to get paid: PayPal, Google Checkout, PaySimple, and other systems for collecting money.

Part 2, July 12, is titled "Pick a Color, Any Color--The Surprising Secrets of Effective Design," and Part 3, July 19, is "SEO--What’s Your Story and How Do You Tell People?"

The cost is $15 per person, with $5 donated to Netpreneurs and Christ Church's Capital Campaign. For directions, see http://christchurchnbrighton.org/contactus.htm#direct.

The three workshops can be taken together or individually. Each session is 90 minutes and includes take-home information.

The workshops are sponsored by the Netpreneurs (http://www.meetup.com/Staten-Island-Netpreneurs/) and the West Brighton Community Local Development Corporation (http://westbrightonldc.com/).

Workshop leader Susan Fowler owns Fast Smart Web Design, a Staten Island firm that creates websites for small businesses and non-profits.
