COPYWRITING FOR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

Business writing requires a style quite different from all other writing. It needs to be very concise, very precise and univocal.

Business writing requires shorter sentences, an active voice and always describes action rather than mental states. It is always written from the point of view of the company.


COPYWRITING FOR BUILDING, CONSTRUCTION AND HOME DESIGN

Most of my professional writing in Building, Construction and Home Design is for web sites and a lay readership. For that a friendly, succinct, style, even with some humour, is most appropriate. Descriptions of processes are always presented very clearly, often with formatting, such as bullet point and photographs to facilitate quick comprehension.


COPYWRITING FOR WEBSITES, BLOGS & SEO

When authoring web pages I am always conscious of using targeted search terms which are the cornerstone of search engine optimisation (SEO). By working with aadt.biz, a company specialising in SEO, clients can be sure my SEO writing will maximise their website's Google PageRank.
