In this series, you will be introduced to all the tools you need to put yourself, your business, or your organization on the Web. 

This session (Part 1 of 3) gives you a "pre-flight checklist" of everything you need to do before you launch your site. Learn how to find a reputable website host and to register your web address. Brainstorm different versions of your URL and what content you'll have online. Discover options for selling online and taking donations. All this and more!

The Website Basics Series will be presented by consultant Jennifer Koerber, trainer and speaker on emerging technologies and the social web, and co-author of Emerging Technologies: a Primer for Librarians (Rowman & Littlefield, May 2015). She is also currently affiliated with the Harvard University Library as their Alma Training Manager.
