Every 4th Thursday the VWEC will host a live Trending Thursdays event. During the first quarter we will be working in collaboration with the Dallas ISD Department of Minority/Women Business Enterprise (MWBE).

The best websites should be goal-oriented, organized, useful, functional, intuitive, and search-friendly.

DESCRIPTION

In this presentation, learners will discover how to create a search-friendly website that drives user action and supports their goals. Whether launching a new website or sprucing up an old one, this workshop will help.
