Tech Fair 2005 Hosts “Analyze Your Web
site” Session
Amenia, New York, February 7, 2004 – As
part of Tech Fair 2005, co-hosted by The Amenia Chamber of Commerce
and The Harlem Valley Partnership, a professional consultation will
be given to the public in a special “Analyze Your Web site”
session.
Businesspeople are invited to submit a URL of
their Web sites to the Chamber for review in advance. Up to five
Web sites will be selected, then analyzed and discussed at Tech
Fair 2005 by Dan Swift, president of DGSwift a design group, based
in Millerton. Swift will examine the Web sites according to their
effectiveness in overall design, marketing and “memorability.”
Says Swift: “A key concern of all businesses is driving traffic
to your Web site. I’ll be looking at such issues as the look
and ‘feel’ of your Web site; how memorable your site
is to your customers; whether customers are able to quickly navigate
your site to get information; and whether they are able to find
your site on search engines.”
Garret Corcoran, president of The Chamber, adds:
“This is a free professional consultation for businesspeople
who plan on attending Tech Fair. It is exactly the kind of skill-building
service that sets Tech Fair apart from other events, helping small
businesses develop the tools they need to compete and succeed.”
Garret recommends that businesspeople send a link of their URL's
via email to: info@amenia-cofc.org,
complete with their names, addresses and telephone numbers. Participants
must be willing to have graphics, or slides, of their Web sites
shown and discussed at the “Analyze Your Web site” session.
The deadline for submission of URL's to the Chamber is Tuesday,
March 15.
Panel Discussions
Tech Fair 2005 will host other exciting discussions,
including a showcase on the latest technology solutions for the
office and home; the future of technology jobs in the Harlem Valley;
and how to design your home office, featuring leading architects
and interior designers as panelists.
