Our spring Department Web Framework users meeting will be Tuesday, May 15, from 1-2pm in the Simpson Center (CMU 202). This meeting will focus on writing for web audiences.
I am very pleased to welcome Sasha Im, Web Content Strategist for University Marketing and Communications. She will talk about the benefits of using plain language and share some techniques for improving your content.
Following her presentation we will have a workshop where you can practice revising actual copy from your site. Pick a page or section of text that you’ve been itching to improve—perhaps your about page is a wall of text, your application instructions are confusing, or your news stories are lackluster. Bring a laptop or print-outs and we’ll work on rewriting the text. The goal is for everyone to learn some strategies that you can use for improving content throughout your site.
