Write web content that persuades, informs, entertains, inspires, and sells.
Is your style electronic? Learn how to make your Web text easy to navigate, easy to understand, and easy to use. This workshop shows how moving text from paper to the screen, or from a conventional Help system to Web customer assistance, demands a new approach. Learn to write the Web way, responding to your visitors with all the give-and-take of a conversation, replying to their questions, addressing their needs, and assuaging their doubts. When you write hot text, you get your point across quickly, provoke action, and satisfy your toughest audience?your customers. Based on extensive research in usability, readability, and attention, and supported by advice from experienced professionals, this course will help you get your prose in shape for Web success. If you are already writing content for the Web, you will get immediate help with common challenges. If you are thinking about writing for the Web, you?ll learn a new approach to style, and, along the way, you?ll create good samples for a portfolio, for job hunting. With each module, you get detailed guidelines. Each guideline comes with specific tactics to adopt when writing, background on ?the reason why,? before-and-after examples, advice on how the guideline should be adapted for particular audiences, challenges, and answers. You?ll write lots of short passages, review the prose on public sites, and evaluate how well these sites follow our guidelines. I give you feedback on your work each week. At the end of the course, you take a final exam, rewriting several web pages.
