Writing Text for the Web

Welcome to the Website Workshop!

The seeUthere.com site was reviewed prior to V6. We discovered several ways in which to improve site performance and usability, and changes were made to Version 6 accordingly. There is still quite a bit of work to be done.

You might already be familiar with many of the principles presented in this workshop.
If so, that's wonderful! The purpose of this presentation is not to bore you, but to make sure that all web team members are familiar with the basic issues and are working towards a common goal (a better website!) from a level playing field. If we all understand basic HTML and usability issues from a common viewpoint then we can work together more cohesively.

Web Developers and Engineers, the HTML section is especially for you. The Usability section is primarily for the Product Managers and others in charge of the look and feel of the site, but should be browsed by all team members. A spoonful of design education is helpful for everyone!

If you have any questions about this workshop or any of the issues discussed therein, please feel free to contact me at any time.
