Web editing
Web copy makeovers · Writing functional specifications
In web design it can be all too easy to focus on the design aesthetics of a site, with less attention given to the quality of text and graphical content.
By combining traditional typographic and editorial experience with contemporary web design technique, I can help ensure that the content of your site is presented to its best potential. Your visitors will benefit from a more satisfying user experience while search engines will be able to more easily index your content.

Web copy makeovers
Do you have years of legacy text on your website that needs pruning and nurturing? I have been editing website copy for UK websites since 2004 and can help inject new life into your text.
I can work with text files, HTML pages, via web-based document collaboration tools or directly within a content management system to speed up the process.
Writing functional specifications
Do you need help defining your website requirements to ensure you get the site you want? Do you need a website but don't know what features you really need?
I can help translate your organisation's values and website requirements into technical specifications suitable for both graphic designers and web developers.
Editorial background
I worked as an editor at friends of ED book publishers between 2001 and 2004, specialising in motion graphics, web design and Photoshop. I have been editing and managing content for UK websites since 2004.
