Build Your Own Simple Website - starting next Wednesday in Kilkenny

I do 4 or 5 of these a year and they are always great fun.

We start with a group of small businesses who want to build a simple website for their businesses, introduce them to one of the online tools that can be used for that purpose (in this case www.weebly.com) and get started.

By the end of day 1 they have built out the guts of a site - and start to realise that the challenge is actually around communications and messaging rather than technology.

Day 2 is spent adding content and tweaking and by the end of that day there are a bunch of new websites on the internet.

You can book online here.

Any questions just ask.

PS - also doing a session next Monday in the Pembroke Hotel where we will explore the options available around selling online - how to decide is it viable, your options, what to look out for. Booking via the link above.

Open for Business - IIA Conference Thursday 12th May

I go to the IIA conference each year but my actual anticipation of them varies. This year is of genuine interest with the following speakers in particular being of interest to me:

Dylan Collins, ex Jolt Gaming - just because :-)

The 11.15am Panel Debate "Have we the smarts?" which includes Colm Greally (Mobile Entrepreneur, DigitalReachGroup)

The afternoon session (after a lunch time address by Minister Richard Bruton, will be interested to see if he actually gets his portfolio) is more geared towards geeks with a strong Open Data theme so I will be taking part in some of the break out sessions.

Say hello if you are there. More here: http://www.iia.ie/events/iia-conference/programme/
