New best practice guides to getting started on the Internet |   |
The DTI has added another guide to its best practice section. There are now guides covering Internet & Email, Broadband, E-Commerce and Search Engine Optimisation. Overall, a good place to start if you're getting online for the first time.
Each of the guides has practical, no-nonsense advice covering the various options available to small businesses (e.g. the benefits of broadband compared to the good old dial-up days). Case studies are also included to show how small business owners have used new technology to their advantage.
Although many users will want more detailed information on SEO, for example, you can find pretty much all the specialist articles in the Bytestart Web Promotion section.
The DTI guides are available in PDF (and text) format on the following topics:
1) Internet & e-mail
2) Broadband
3) An Introduction to e-business
4) Search Engine Optimisation
5) Building an e-commerce website
You can access these starter guides here.
