Web writing, editing and usability course October 21, 2009

This is a revamped version of a web writing course run by Writing for the Web for the past 10 years. In that time the company has trained hundreds of organisations how to get their message across online.

At the heart of the course, we discuss how to create concise copy that your audiences really want to read. We carry out written exercises and give everyone constructive one-to-one help. We think about key target readers and how we need to relate more effectively.

Your course tutors will be Malcolm Davison - a former MOD intranet editor, and long-standing web content consultant. Plus Kath Burke, trained journalist and web writer - for the NHS, EDF Energy and Barclays Business and more.

We also consider:

* applying simple rules to make all your web pages look great
* making your website user-friendly
* accessibility and ensuring our content is compliant
* dealing with legal material and international audiences
* the importance of quality control and accuracy
