Writing for the Web
£20
The Internet is full of fascinating places to find information, check out your favorite companies and stores, look for deals, read the news, and much more. However, people don’t read information on the web in the same way that they read a printed newspaper, magazine, or a book. As writers, we have to be very aware of how people approach a web page so that we can create interesting and engaging content. This one-day course is for people who write for readers on the web.
This one-day workshop will help you teach participants how to:
o Apply engaging techniques that draw readers to web pages
o Plan what to write to reflect their web hierarchy
o Create engaging content, including catchy headlines
o Enhance their writing with other forms of media
Make their writing accessible to a variety of readersPayment Options
