As any web designer or business owner knows, technology drives business today. Without an effective web presence, your company will fall short in the face of competition. With a quality web presence, however, the sky’s the limit as far as your company's success goes. The question then becomes how to develop an effective web presence that will generate the right type of business for you.

This course pinpoints specific areas for consideration when crafting a higher-quality, more effective web presence and level of customer relations. We cover how to identify and successfully address your target audience, how to present your company effectively online, as well as quality writing techniques and considerations specific to an online environment.

By the end, you will have re-conceptualized your web presence and honed it for greater appeal to your target audience, bolstering the likelihood of increasing your revenue.

“Quality Web Communication: The Beginner’s Guide” combines findings primarily from the academic disciplines of business and communication, with a tinge of linguistics and psychology to elucidate real-world challenges and best practices in developing quality web communication. It presents foundational communication principles developed in ancient Greece—still the backbone of quality communication in the Western world. Large doses of current relevant research will inform participants about how to circumvent common pitfalls preventing success in e-commerce sites, and help them to build a website with the greatest possibility of commercial effectiveness. Here, research findings from the areas of persuasion, visual communication, and psychology meet in a very specific focus on quality web communication. You would be hard-pressed to find another course that brings together such disciplinary breadth of research for such a specific purpose.

“The class overall was good. I will have to return to it often for notes. The best value was in learning to study the audience Values. That will be my greatest takeaway from this class. I also see that the writing etiquette (spelling, grammar, etc) is very important and highly expected of a professional designer. Thank you for this class. I would definitely recommend it.”

“Very informative lesson — especially the mixture of language use in theory and in practice!”

“Great content. I immediately thought about all the companies I dislike and it becomes obvious they practice very little to none of the information presented here. I found the difference in complex vs. simple message presentation useful for presence as well as featuring the "About Us" prominently as opposed to a linked secondary page. Good stuff.”
