AgencyWeb is a small knit group where learning different skills is not uncommon. At AgencyWeb, many people have to learn different responsibilities, tasks or skills to keep AgencyWeb running. As a team, we had to learn how to function with Huddle. Huddle is a great web base tool that helps us maintain organization within the office by listing office supplies that need to be ordered, scheduling meetings, or creating tasks pertaining to different clients. By using Huddle, allows our clients and our team members to stay organized on specific tasks.
For me, working at AgencyWeb as a graphic designer is not the only responsibility or tasks that I have to uphold or learn. Since I have been working at AgencyWeb, I have learned basic knowledge of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), how to run reports on sites, basic editing on websites, and how to blog. These are just to name few tasks that I have learned. Coming to AgencyWeb, I did not know what SEO was or how it effected the outcome of sites. But after working with the SEO specialists who are willing to teach and share their knowledge about SEO I know how beneficial SEO is to any site, and how it can improve a sites ranking.
Another tool that I have learned that is beneficial to a website rank is blogging. For me, I was never really a big blogger, but now, knowing how it promotes sites or information on sites, it has become second nature. Blogging is a great way to comment on stories, events or other materials.
For me, it is important to keep widening my horizon wether it is learning how to blog, making edits on sites, learning what SEO is or learning about new programs. As technology advances, it is important to stay up-to-date on information and programs and to be as diverse as one can be.
