Steve Jobs believed everyone should learn how to program a computer.
Luckily for the less technically savvy entrepreneurs, there are easier ways to survive in a coder-saturated startup world.
Make sure you’ve got these basic web development skills nailed:
1. Ability to analyze:
To grow your biz, you need to understand the data behind it.
Google Analytics is free and tracks metrics around customer churn. Know exactly what the data reflects, and you’ll make smarter decisions about goals and how to keep improving.
2. Basic HTML:
Knowing a bit of HTML not only helps in getting ideas across to developers and designers but also makes simple online editing a breeze.
Codecademy is a great site for learning the basics, and the Udacity app offers on-demand courses for HTML newbies who work in tech.
3. Smart SEO execution:
Good SEO practices help you dominate the first page of search results. Make sure your site ranks #1 for your brand name, and your social channels—Facebook, Twitter—should follow.
Just master these three essential tech skills, and you can leave the hardcore programming to your team of experts.
