Web marketer and web designer Stephanie M. Cockerl has launched a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) e-course through her company next STEPH. The 7-day e-course, will teach participants the basics of search engine optimization and how to optimize webpages to enhance their search engine visibility.

"This e-course helps webmasters to implement SEO during website development, not after the fact…," states Cockerl. "Many webmasters and website owners have questions about SEO after it has been launched. With this course, web designers, web developers and webmasters will be able to put SEO as part of the process of website design, development and maintenance."
