A website is a business essential. You need to be where your customers can find you
The Internet is the new shopfront – our customers, suppliers, staff and anybody who wants to deal with us is checking us out on the web before they contact us.

Business owner, broadcaster, writer and specialist on the digital economy, Paul Wallbank, will guide you through the online tools and techniques which businesses owners and managers can use to improve their Internet performance and effectively extend their web reach to their key customers.

Local listings improve the performance of your web site and can help it perform better when customers are searching online.

Hi Paul,
I found this old post of yours creeping around the search
engines and thought I should contact you and say “HI”, I
like your website…lol.
I see you keep it up to date even after such a long time.
Nice to “meet” you and keep up the great work.
How did your masterclass turn out back in 2011?
I see that you are in Australia!
