Got an old Windows XP computer? Let us suggest a perfect use for it. Set it up as a web server and host your own website right from your house - for FREE!
AREA's IT Basics course will walk you through step by step and show you how to configure an old computer to host multiple websites right from your home - assuming you have high speed internet access.
The course will also show you how to get FREE website editing software so you can create and maintain your own websites without knowing html. You will also be introduced to the basics of search engine optimization - or things that you can do to increase your site's ranking with the search engines.
While advanced concepts will be discussed, the course is designed to be delivered to individuals who have a basic understanding of computer hardware and software. This new non-CE course will be a one-day workshop. You will review fundamentals of the internet, learn how to purchase your own '.com domain name' and set up your own personal and permanent email address - you@yourdomain.com for FREE.
The course will also review available FREE webmaster tools from Google, Google's FREE Google Analytics, and several ways that you can earn money from your website real estate!
This is great course for anyone interested in becoming more independent and self-sufficient with technology. It is also a great opportunity for your son or daughter to make more efficient use of the technology you already own. Class size will be limited so contact us at education@area-ga.com if you are interested.
