Seminar on Six Ways to make your Website work for you

A series of free workshops entitled 6 Ways to make your Website work for you are being conducted by Grant Everiss, the founder of WebPartners. Everiss has been nicknamed ‘Mr Google’ because there is not much about Google that Grant does not know about internet, websites, search engines, social networking sites.
The theme is that if you have a product, service or information that you want other people to have access, come to the workshop. It applies if you have an existing website, to direct more traffic come to the seminar and equally so for those who want to have a website but don’t know how or where to start.
The workshop gave tips on what makes your website work and how to organize your information and content in such a way as to capture people’s imagination online. It is all about seeing how the power of internet marketing can work for you.
The first workshop is for the Tourism Corporation with a Tuesday night (20 April) presentation at the Edgewater Resort with another two to be held on Wednesday 21 April.
The morning session from 9am to 12 noon is for the public service and any interested party then followed by the afternoon session from 1pm to 4pm for the private sector and any other interested parties.
Everiss graduated from Otago University with degrees in economics and statistics and then went on to work for blue chip clients with various roles ranging from senior marketing, general manager and sales. In 2000, he set up a website design and hosting company which went on to become one of the first in NZ to get involved in search engine optimization. Nine years on, Grant has achieved top 10 google listings for hundreds of big name corporate clients who have achieved double the visitor hits.
