Writing for the Web

10:00 - 16:00 Friday 19 November 2010
Netskills Training Suite, Herschel Building, Newcastle University

What is so different about writing for the web? The ability to write and re-purpose content for the web is an important skill. Visitors can abandon your site at the click of a button if they are not enticed by what you have written. This workshop will explore a range of proven practical techniques that you will be able to take away and apply directly to your own web site authoring.

Topics:

Practical writing techniques for use in the online environment
Use of active and passive verbs
Examination of web audience and intent
Practical tasks for writing for an organisation profile and audience
The difference between good web content and good web design

Who is it for?

This workshop is aimed at anyone who is involved in the writing and delivery of text-based online content.

Please note, that this is not a technical workshop. Participants should be familiar with the use of a web browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. An awareness of writing styles and some experience of editing content on and off-line would also be useful - but not essential.

Further details about this workshop are available.
