Ari Krzyzek - Made to Sell: Creating Websites that Convert

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Sure, in today’s business world having a website is almost a requirement. But what that website achieves, beyond simply showing you live in the digital world, is entirely up to you. Just because you built something does not mean the masses will come to learn more about your brand, buy your products, or sign up for your services. It would be great if that were the case, but it isn’t. Pulled from my bestselling book, Made to Sell: Creating Websites that Convert, I'll reveal the tips and tricks to transform your website, and in turn, your brand and revenue. Whether you have a simple one-page site or a complex retail store with thousands of products.
