CERN Technical Training 2008: Learning for the LHC! SECRETS OF A SUCCESSFUL WEBSITE

Ever wondered what attracts people to a website time and time again? Want to know the secrets to creating a successful website? Perhaps you don’t know where to start when you are asked to build a website? Then sign up for two brand-new courses being offered within the Technical Training Program!

In the first course (1-day) – Designing effective websites – you will be guided through the A-Z of creating a great site or improving an existing one. Through interactive sessions and practical exercises, you will learn handy tips and best practices in web design, writing for the web, planning, coding and production. While being independent of any particular software or content management system, you will come away armed with the knowledge required to produce your site.

The second course (2-days) – Writing effectively for the web – explains how to communicate effectively on the web by packaging, writing and editing your content to meet the needs of your readers. In an age where we are inundated with cool tools and technologies, it’s easy to forget that content is still king on the web!

The trainer – Dr Cathy Needham – has over 10 years of experience in web design, most recently as Editor-in-Chief, heading the central Web Team at the World Health Organization.

If you are interested in these courses, please talk to your supervisor and/or your Departmental Training Officer. Further information and online registration is available via the training catalogue or by contacting us at the address below.
