Email marketing can be quite simple, however, as with most things there’s actually more to it than meets the eye.
Great reasons to try email marketing are:
- You will get to know more customers.
- Communicate more with them.
- Hold on to them.
Customer trust is something of great value in any business, and email marketing enables you to make sure your emails are relevant to what your customers need or want.
It’s really flexible – you can change emails or email details easily to promote different products, services, announcements etc.
Email Marketing is also very cost-effective compared to other types of marketing.
So what are you waiting for tell us why you need the Email Marketing course and if you win we’ll give you all the tools you need to get started. We are going to be running regular simple competitions for free training as well as launching our next photography competition very soon, so keep up to date by following us on twitter, liking us on facebook and signing up to our rss feed.
Good luck.

Is HTML Dead?
Silicon Beach Training offer a great range of web development courses including CSS training, Ajax Training, XHTML Training and the latest HTML5 training in Brighton, Sussex . See the end of this post to learn about an incredible deal on all three courses.
There are many articles out there that say HTML is dead, many will suggest that you should learn XML instead. Is this true? Should you learn XML before you learn HTML if you want to be a web developer?
In a Nutshell
The answer is no – HTML is not dead! It has just needs a little X.
Sites are being built every day using HTML. The majority of companies still use HTML for their Web sites. Those that use XML, still need HTML output so that Web browsers can view the pages.
So for Web Development – HTML is still a basic requirement.
However:
HTML 4.0 is obsolete. The latest version of HTML is in fact XHTML.
XHTML 1.0 is very similar to HTML 4.0, it is basically HTML rewritten to be compliant with XML rules.
If you want to train to be a professional Web developer, you should start by learning and writing XHTML you can do this on our HTML Training Course.
Writing XHTML means that you should close all your tags, including tags like <option>, <p>, and <li>. For single tags you will need to include a trailing slash in the tag, for example <img src=”" />. You will need to follow all the rules for writing good XML.
XHTML forms the basis for learning other XML languages, such as WML, XSLT and CDF. All of these languages are all based on XML, and will continue to be used for some years to come.
XML is not a language – HTML is a language.
XML is more like a set of rules that can be applied to many different languages. XML rules also allow you to create all new languages.
HTML lives on as XHTML. However, HTML5 will be the new standard replacing XHTML. This marks a return to HTML rather than XML as the basis for the web.
What training do I need for a great foundation in web development?
In this order:
HTML Training – 2 days – This HTML course will teach you both HTML language and XHTML
CSS Training – 1 days – This CSS course will enable you to understand CSS and create style sheets for web or XML projects
HTML5 Training – 2 days – This HTML5 course will teach you how to implement HTML5 to provide alternatives for features unsupported by XHTML (embedded video and audio for example)
These web development training courses add up to 5 days in total and would normally cost £1160 + vat in total. We are currently offering the whole web development package for only £760 + vat = a saving of £400!
You do not have to take the courses all at once you can give yourself a break to practise and consolidate what you have learned. This offer will only be available on bookings made before September 30th 2010. So what are you waiting for?

Combine Social Media & SEO Training for increased online exposure
Book our Social Media and Search Engine Optimisation Training in Brighton, Sussex, together at a fantastic reduced rate of £570 + vat (normally £695)
Using Social Media for your web marketing is not only great for keeping in touch with your customers and monitoring your brand, but it can also make you easier to find online.
However most people still find products or services using search engines – especially Google – so whilst all of your blogging, tweeting, Facebook pages and videos on YouTube will help to raise your profile – they will be even more effective if you’ve got your basic on-page search engine optimisation right. The idea that Social Media replaces SEO is simply inaccurate as we discussed in a recent blog post; in fact we also wrote that Social Media and SEO are most effectively when used together.
Using SEO and Social Media marketing together can reap fantastic rewards for your business – that’s why we’re offering the opportunity to book our Social Media training and SEO training courses back to back at a fantastic discounted rate.
Our hands-on workshops are led by industry experts and give each delegate an action plan for their Social Media and SEO strategies on completion.
The next course dates are:
For more information and bookings call us on 01273 622272 or e-mail info@siliconbeachtraining.co.uk
