Seminars and Workshops

In addition to speaking to non-technical audiences about how they can create or redesign their own web sites, we are available to speak on topics geared towards a variety of audiences, such as: What to Expect When Hiring Web Developers; Creating Web Sites for Non-Profits; How to Bring Your Data to the Web; and Technical Considerations in Creating Interactive Online Databases.

Last year Velir was invited to speak at the annual KIDS COUNT Grantee Conference. Their seminar "Top Ten Truths About Web Development" was targeted at providing practical, useful information to small non-profits interested in creating or redesigning their web sites. Velir provided conference attendees (many of whom had a non-technical background) with the necessary tools to get them started. To help answer more specific questions, they also worked one-on-one with organizations in thirty-minute round-robin sessions held throughout the conference.

Both formats proved to be a great success...of the attendees who submitted evaluations, 93% rated the seminar "very useful" or "extremely useful". Comments included:

"Well designed presentation w/useful suggestions. Presenters well informed and info presented in an audience-friendly manner."

"Excellent. Want more and more time. This would be very costly on an individual basis. Terrific and so relevant."

"Many of the points were applicable to our work. Also, the presentation was clear and well thought out."

"Best session of the conference."

Mark notes, "Our experiences with our non-profit clients have been exceptionally positive. Their eagerness and efforts on behalf of their own clients are impressive, and it's especially rewarding to know Velir can help contribute to their success by giving them the information they need to create effective web sites for their audiences."
