Objective: Hands-on training provided to entity staff interested in using the Entity Website Builder to create and maintain their websites.

Summary: The Entity Website Builder, an automated system for building Cochrane entity websites has been piloted this year by a handful of Cochrane Review Groups and Cochrane Centres. This workshop will teach you to use the system, to build and maintain a professional, up-to-date, and content-rich site containing automatically updated material from cochrane.org, your entity's module, and other sources. In the workshop, you will learn how you can start using central Cochrane Collaboration content in your entity's website to:

• reduce your workload;
• keep visitors to your site informed and up to date more easily;
• include your entity's news feeds and event calendars;
• incorporate Collaboration calendars, jobs lists;
• incorporate this year's new review production and training materials;
• provide entity-specific review browsing and searching;
• improve the public image of your group.
