Writing for the Web



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.

By the end of the workshop participants will have:

  • Practised techniques for writing and repurposing content for web delivery
  • Explored key practical issues surrounding the provision of web content
  • Critically evaluated a range of real and potential web content
  • Identified the key points to successful web writing
