Copy Writing

Do your potential clients/customers fully understand just what it is you can do for them when they read your website?

Writing for the web requires direct prose which not only gets straight to the point, but also offers anchor points for text linking to other sections of the website, plus judicious use of keywords that will be indexed by search engines.

This style of writing is a craft that requires technical web experience as well as a way with words. Not everybody knows how to write content for the web, even if one is skilled in writing for other print media.
