Web Writing Solutions
...create a stronger web presence

Why take this workshop?
  • If your website content is written in conventional writing styles, then most Web readers don’t read much of it.
  • People read differently on the Web than in other media. Usability studies show that most Web readers “grab & go”.
  • Ηigh School & College English classes did not teach how to write effectively for the Web.
  • Even most professional writers do not know how Web writing differs from other media.

  • understand better how people read on the Web

  • convert “paper-style” to “web-style”
