During this workshop you have been presented with a large load of information.
Here are links to all the important sites that are used during this workshop (and there may be some we don’t get time to look at during the day) on using the Internet for Business. The workshop is designed for business managers and owners, who may not necessarily be web designers. For this reason the workshop has not looked at web design as such, but the principles of using the web in business.
You may wish to refer your web design staff or consultants to this blog entry so they may use the links for technical purposes, or you may simply wish to review and begin to digest the information presented in the workshop.
Each of these links will open a new browser tab or window so that you keep this blog open.
