Spelling and grammar issues on your website are off-putting and will repel potential customers. My website proofreading service will help you attract, retain and convert visitors.
Your website is the first port of call for many of your future customers. Initial impressions matter, and if your webpages contain text errors or layout issues, visitors will turn to your competitors.
Hire me to help you reduce errors on your site, improve the SEO and accessibility of your content, and give you every chance of increasing visitor numbers, dwell time and, ultimately, sales.
What you get
My website proofreading service looks for:
- errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation
- inconsistencies in the text
- factual inaccuracies
- layout issues
- opportunities for SEO and AEO (search and answer engine optimisation)
- common accessibility and usability issues
I will present my findings in a spreadsheet (most popular), a marked-up PDF or image file, or make changes directly in your CMS, whichever is more convenient for you.
You will also receive a bespoke style sheet, showing details of editorial decisions made and language styles used. This is useful to ensure consistency, and you can also use it as a basis for a style guide.
Although this is not a comprehensive multi-browser, multi-platform, multi-device testing service, I can proofread your site using more than one browser and device if requested, as sometimes issues (layout, formatting) will occur on one browser/device but not another. Your analytics will show you which browsers and devices your visitors most commonly use.
I can also check image alt text and other ‘behind-the-scenes’ text on request.
Kind words from previous clients
My process
If your site is live, I will proofread each webpage in a browser (on laptop and mobile) and provide feedback in a spreadsheet template. Some clients prefer marked-up images or a PDF, although this can get 'busy' very quickly and makes it harder for you to check off completed tasks.
I can also make changes directly in your content management system, if you prefer this approach.
My website proofreading service includes not only the usual editorial elements but also accessibility, usability and SEO issues, thanks to my professional web background.
Your investment
My pricing is competitive and depends on the length of your pages and the attention they require (eg. complexity of design, number of issues). Please get in touch to discuss further.
If your website is large and you'd prefer to hire me for a fixed term, my day rate is £300 (£1,300 for a five-day week).
