Event Details

Despite what many consultants and design shops will tell you, you do not need to spend $5,000 or more for a simple e-commerce website.  In this course, we will discuss Do-It-Yourself e-commerce solutions that are easy to setup, inexpensive, and look professional.  We will survey the possible solutions, discuss whether or not a DIY e-commerce site is right for your business, and do a live demo of building a site from the ground-up.

A number of additional resources will be discussed such as bidding out your site design online, purchasing inexpensive and professional images, turn-key e-mail solutions, and driving traffic to your site.

Also, each student will have the opportunity to receive a free 3 month subscription to Shopify.com to start their own e-commerce site.  This offer is valued at $75 and is only available to students who take this class!

You will walk out of this course with the tools you need to start your own e-commerce site in a few minutes for less than $100.  Don't be fooled by design firms: save your money for what really matters to your business!
