August 21, 2007 -- This course uses theory and proven practices to take the student through all the steps of starting and operating an online business. By the end of the course, using the tools and materials provided, the student will have an operating internet business. Using smart tools, the course takes the student step-by-step through all the stages of developing an online business.

99% of small business sites fail. The small business Web hosting industry even has a term for this, the "churn rate." This old-fashioned, standard form of hosting dooms small businesses from the start. The "churn rate" measures failure flux. This is the flow of small business sites from various large Web hosts to others, month to month. It is an excellent indication of the failure rate. Why do small businesses churn? Desperation. Small businesses are failing online, massively. Failure causes them to look for another small business Web hosting solution.

"Most people who try to build a business online fail because of an offline mentality," says Michael Logan, an instructor with Rock Valley College "They put their business where people crowd by... and you're all set. Get your cash register ready! It's all about "location, location, location. But in the online business world, the fundamental reality of how people use the Web is different. No one passes by. They search for information, information, and information," adds Logan.

Site Build It!'s process builds upon that Net reality, according to Logan. In conjunction with Rock Valley College's Adult Education dept., he will show students how to build a successful website and online business, or grow an existing business. The course begins September 15, 2007. Previous experience and technical knowledge are not required.

"Anyone here who thinks the Internet is a passing fad or just a tool is sadly mistaken. The Internet is growing rapidly every day. It is becoming more and more an integral part of our everyday lives. And for business, it is a necessity. This class provides an opportunity to get an understanding of how it works and how you can benefit as soon as possible.
