Technology tutorials and exercises to develop your digital skills
Hi, I'm Charles and welcome to my Digital Tutorials website!
These exercises have been put together so that you can practice a range of different technology skills related to business and marketing.
Each page has been created with the "advanced beginner" in mind; historically I have always worked with apprentices or people who are retraining in the technology field so I have tried to make exercise as practical as possible to allow you to explore each tool at your own pace.

"Getting to the top of Google" is a common objective for a lot of web designers or content marketer. Although the phrase itself doesn't make sense; there are lots of different things you can do to optimise your website. These exercises will help Google point traffic to you rather than other sources for different keywords, queries and questions.
Marketing campaigns should be planned like any other project. This means progressing through different stages; from the marketing brief, drawing up aims and objectives, planning, designing, monitoring and finally evaluating the overall success of the campaign to indicate the overall return on investment.
Well there you have it...
As times goes on I'll be sure to add more exercises and training sessions. My thing of the moment is using SharePoint and Power Automate so let me know if you'd like to learn more about that.
If you would like to submit any exercises, ideas or tutorials, I would love to host them here.
Have fun, and keep on churning out the great work!
