Having your own website is vital for any business or organization, but there\'s a lot to know about building and maintaining a successful site. Much of that requires specialized knowledge, which makes it difficult for the average person to know if it has been done right. Whether you\'re trying to build your own site or hiring others to do it, this course will help you understand the basics of everything from getting a hosting account to integrating your site with social media. You won\'t need to know HTML or what a Cascading Style Sheet is, but by the end of the course you\'ll have enough knowledge about all aspects of websites to know whether you or the people you hire are on the right track. Even if you already have a site, this course will help you to understand what is or is not working well on that site and to see what can be done to make it better.
