Toronto-based web development company, Your Web Department is implementing a weekly seminar program for business owners, and their advisors, on 'How your website can (and should) create value'. "Since launching the web-in-a-box, Your Web Department, at the SOHO/SMB show just over a month ago, we have been pleasantly surprised by the degree of positive reaction and interest in the service", commented Malcolm MacTaggart, YWD's Managing Director. "Small and medium-sized business owners have been continually inquiring about how their websites can help them achieve their business objectives and goals - rather than just being digital brochure-ware. In response to the demand, we've decided to implement weekly seminars that address the issues raised by entrepreneurs, business owners and their advisors," added MacTaggart.

The free seminars will be held on Wednesday mornings from 8 - 10 am, at YWD's office in downtown Toronto, starting each week on December 6th. On alternating weeks, the seminars will be focused on meeting the information needs of the entrepreneur or in helping the professional business advisor community (consultants, accountants) understand how a website can increase a firms value, best web practices, tips, pitfalls and ideas. A sign-up registration form is on the website, or people can register by phone, or fax.

Your Web Department is a monthly service that offers website and email capabilities, in addition to a do-it-yourself content management system, web-hosting and other web tools, for the SOHO/SMB market. "YWD is designed for those firms who are serious about doing business on the Internet - without requiring them to be in the Internet business", explained MacTaggart. According to Stats Canada, less than 40% of Canadian private firms have a website. Typically, the biggest obstacles relate to cost and fear of getting it wrong - this is the void that YWD addresses.

We think this is a pretty novel approach. It's designed to allow anyone who can create/save and cut/paste with the ability to control their own web destiny - easily and affordably", commented MacTaggart.
