Freedom to be anywhere in the world and still run your business, that's what web design means when it's done well. You can design your website to showcase and sell products and services; register new members; take reservations; assess inventory; provide resources for affiliates; teach courses and much, much more. A well designed website can take the place of staff, managers and sales people - and works without pay, benefits or bonuses for unlimited hours on end; always servicing on your behalf and calculating your prospective clients' needs and desires. You can market without a budget, take endless referrals, book yourself solid; make excellent presentations, stand out from the crowd, keep customers for life, reach out to teams and do business at the speed of thought - without being at your computer, or even at work. How? It starts with thinking about and making a list of services that you repeat regularly, which can be automated electronically; and in addition, what services you would like to provide for your current and prospective customers that can be automated and fun to do on the web.
This course neither teaches software nor computers.
