Why Attend
More than ever, travellers are researching and booking their holidays online. A website that makes it easy for customers to find what you offer and how to make a purchase is critical. A strong website helps businesses get discovered online, improve credibility, and build brand recognition.
Participating businesses will work with me, to create an effective website for their business that will help them to connect with customers and solidify its brand presence.
Participants will develop the skills necessary to build and maintain their website. The boot camp includes virtual group check-ins where participants can ask questions and get advice on building specific components of their website, and one-on-one virtual meetings with me.
Note: The boot camp will involve work before and after. Plan to allocate additional time for this in your schedule.
