SCORE E-Newsletter
March 2007

The topic of our next regular workshop is:

Join us on Saturday, March 17, 2007 from 9:30am-12:30pm at Collier County Public Library (at 650 Central Avenue in Naples) where we will review the steps required in setting up a business website from start to finish, including naming your website, hosting options, design, coding, implementation, search engine optimization and promotion of your website.

In a nutshell, we’ll touch on everything you'll need to start a website, including the basics of selling your products on the Internet and accepting credit card payments.

This workshop will be led by Gregory Nelson, Vice Chairman of the Naples/Collier chapter of SCORE, who maintains the local SCORE’s website at www.scorenaples.org and develops this monthly e-newsletter.
