About Us

Writing for the web

We all read content on the web. But, increasingly, teams in almost any department are called on to write web content, too. Make sure they know how to create engaging and accessible web copy.

Overview

We all read content on the web. But, increasingly, teams in almost any department are called on to write web content, too.

This could mean blog content, intranet pages, marketing copy or anything else that fits in the four borders of a web browser. But all web writing requires solid writing skills – skills you may have found your team need to improve in.

Perhaps they don’t grab their visitors’ attention in time to draw them in. Or maybe they fail to establish a key, take-home message for each page. Or they may simply not write in your organisation’s tone of voice.

But these are fixable problems. That’s why we’ve designed a day of targeted training that will dramatically improve the effectiveness of your team’s web writing.

Outcomes

On this course, your team will learn how to:

  • win their visitors’ attention by understanding the psychology of great headlines
  • engage their audience and put key information first (so it’s not buried in the page)
  • build a logical structure for all their webpages
  • make the most of links to create pages that are as useful as possible
  • write pages that their readers will want to read
  • use search engine optimisation (SEO) techniques to help their pages rank in search engines (while avoiding methods that result in penalties)
  • avoid common grammar and punctuation traps
  • proofread webpages for errors.

A key feature of this course is that all attendees receive our unique pre-course writing analysis. This covers 15 different areas of writing skills and helps us ensure the training meets attendees’ precise writing needs, while allowing for rapid, targeted improvements.

Who's it for?

Our in-house Writing for the web courses are suitable for teams who need to write online content for a website or company intranet.
