So, you have a new website. Now, you need an editor.
As we all know, first impressions count.
Nowadays, your website is our main shopfront, so it’s vitally important to make sure your website:
- reflects exactly how you want to present your goods or services to the public,
- is easy to navigate and has good content that will interest your audience,
- looks absolutely great (images, layout, headings and text), and
- has no errors or missing information.
To this end, an editor who is experienced in editing online content (websites, blogs, advertisements) is the best person to check your website to make sure the above four factors are covered, and to give your website that final polish that it needs. d
If you try to self-edit or perfect your website yourself, without any professional guidance, you risk publishing embarrassing errors and unclear wording in your website. This will give your customers a terrible first impression of your business.
On the other hand, if you ask a professional editor for a quote to edit your website, you are on the path to producing a perfect shopfront for your business, and a razor-sharp edge on your competitors.
For an example of a sharp, informative and successful website, go to: On Time Typing, Editing and Proofreading.
