Training Tip

Does your event website offer an inviting experience for site visitors? Our websites are generally the first opportunity we have to introduce prospective participants to our events.

Steve Denning, past district governor of District 7710, offers these tips on how to improve your event website for potential guests:

Make your site clean, easy to navigate, efficient, and friendly.
Consider building a responsive website, which adjusts the content's size and layout to a user’s device.
Include content directly relevant to the goals you've set for the site.
Minimize animation - a simple design makes it easy for visitors information on your site.

See more of Denning’s training tips on website design from the Multi-District PETS Alliance website.
