Last week’s Website Basics for Business Growth workshop brought entrepreneurs together for a hands-on session focused on building or strengthening their online presence through clear messaging, strong structure, and user experience strategies that help turn visitors into customers!

A big thank you to Alexander Ziegler and the Barton School of Business at Wichita State University for collaborating with us to make this workshop possible, and to Marisa VanSkiver for leading the session and sharing actionable insights to help founders improve their websites.
