Writing for the web training

Our hands-on writing for the web training has received great feedback from participants.

  • The writing for the web training course lasts for one full day
  • Courses usually have a maximum of 10 participants due to their interactive nature

We usually run our writing for the web training the day before our web usability training and 2 days before our web accessibility training course, so you may wish to come on 2 or 3 courses. Book the same person on to 2 courses at the same time and get a 10% discount or book 3 courses and get a 20% discount! Our next course dates are:

  • Monday 1st December 2008 (3 places available)
  • Monday 26th January 2009 (6 places available)
  • Monday 23rd February 2009 (6 places available)

(You can pay by invoice later or by credit card now)

The writing for the web course was great! Practical exercises helped us learn how to apply our new skills during the training. The training was fun, interesting and interactive - I'd recommend it to anyone.

The writing for the web training is usually run by Webcredible's Head of Usability, Lisa Halabi.

Writing for the web training philosophy

Our writing for the web training follows one basic principle:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

Chinese proverb

Put simply, we don't want to provide well written content for your website - we want you to create well written content for your website. The writing for the web training lasts for one full day, during which time you'll complete a series of exercises designed for you to discover the answers by yourself and then put into practice what you've learnt.

By the end of the day, you'll have acquired a deep understanding of how to write effective content for the web. As a result of our hands-on writing for the web training, you'll have:

  • Improved confidence in writing content for your website
  • A deeper understanding of your new knowledge
  • Ownership of what you've learnt
