SUMMARY:Building Your Business Website - Fluvanna
DESCRIPTION:Build your website in a few hours and as a bonus… Leave knowing how to manage it yourself! \nIn this class\, students will come to the class as an absolute novice and will walk out with a fully functioning website AND the knowledge of how to maintain the site on their own. \nThis class does not cover e-Commerce capabilities focusing instead on building an information only site. \nCV SBDC Director Bo Grist will lead the students through signing up for an affordable Umso account (account costs $7 per month) which is an exceptionally easy to use tool for building\, maintaining and hosting your site for a very small investment. You do not have to write any code ever! \nAt the end of the class\, students will have a fully branded site that has the following features: \nFunctional Site that shows details about their products and services.

All of the technical difficulty of getting the custom URL working will be solved in the class. Implement Google Analytics on your new site (free). This will allow you to see a great deal of detail about who is coming to your site and how they are finding you. A good understanding of how to use the Umso platform and how to make changes\, test them and then publish the changes to the live URL. \nPrerequisites: \n\nA credit card you can use to setup an Umso account for 1 year ($82).\nA credit card you can use to buy a custom domain for a year. If you select a .com URL this will cost $12. Other domains can be more expensive (.ai costs $199 per year). A list of prices by domain type can be found here.
