Although about 97% of people are now going online to search for local products or services, roughly 64% of small businesses in Louisiana don’t have a website. That’s according to Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office, which announced Thursday that Google is bringing a workshop aimed at getting small businesses online to Baton Rouge later this month. It’s set to take place at the Shaw Center for the Arts downtown on Monday, March 25, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Along with providing small businesses free online tools to create websites, the workshop provides training to entrepreneurs about the process. Particpants will receive their own domain name without charge for one year. Google has hosted the workshops in all 50 states, and one held in the Lafayette area last year drew about 150 businesses. You can get complete details and register to attend here.
