What others say about our courses

“I attended one of Terry’s “wordpress bootcamps” recently and picked up valuable advice on search engine optimisation and delivery of our message to potential clients. The course was delivered efficiently and expertly with excellent visual aids, take home notes and personalised internet marketing advice. For SME owners looking for an edge Terry is the “go to” guy.”

September 16, 2011, LinkedIn, Des Groome, http://KildareVet.ie

“I attended a WordPress one-day course given by Terry Gorry on 15 Sept 2011. He covered a huge amount, covering every aspect of setting up a WordPress website, including optimising, backlinks and monetising. He also offered numerous pieces of useful advice and tips. His courses can be tailored for both beginners and those with more advanced knowledge.

Based in quiet Kilcock in Co Kildare, Terry is a dynamic, multidimensional person. He brings equal energy and expertise to two different spheres: he is both a lawyer and a website developer, with much commercial experience and skills. His courses are particularly valuable because he does not waste time on side-issues and knows what works.

I recommend him and his courses very highly, not only because of the depth of his knowledge and the clarity with which he imparts it, but also because of the value-added: the extra information and advice that he generously provides.”

Terry has an incredible working knowledge of Internet marketing. By attending this course you will not only learn how to build a website but how to build a well structured site which will be designed to achieve a high level of traffic.

Your Lecturer

The course is delivered by Terry Gorry B.Comm, Solicitor, who is a leading online entrepreneur and marketer whose entrepreneurial experience both offline and online spans 25 years and who has significant involvement in online or digital business.

Terry’s online business interests are concentrated mainly in online publishing and it is this experience combined with his professional training which gives him a unique understanding and perspective on the legal issues surrounding online business.

Running a business online encompasses a wide body of law and potential traps for the unwary such as the Electronic Commerce Regulations, copyright, trade marks, domain name disputes, appropriate privacy policies for your website, data protection, laws surrounding email marketing, distance selling, electronic contracts, liability of internet service providers, defamation, employees use of the internet and much more.

Terry’s experience “in the trenches” of many of these issues combined with 25 years of entrepreneurial activity should prove invaluable for anyone seeking to set up their own online or digital business or anyone seeking to build a website for their offline business.
