			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forming working relationships with other businesses can be extremely beneficial to both parties, especially if their particular businesses happen to complement each other. Take website designing and web content writing for example: they work together in harmony and many of our clients are web designers who choose to <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/content-for-web-companies.cfm">outsource web content</a> to us.</p>
<p><span id="more-1746"></span></p>
<p>We’re aware that it can be very dangerous to send your customers elsewhere if you can’t provide a specific service for them, so that’s why many of our clients are web companies that re-sell our services with a healthy mark-up.</p>
<p>Our concern for web designers is that if you’re designing a website for a customer but sending them to another professional for their web content then you could end up losing them as they could eventually find another company who can provide both. Or just as bad, the content they purchase could be of poor quality, thus damaging the whole website and potentially your reputation as the web designer.</p>
<p>You might think that the only way you could offer content as well as structure would be by taking on staff or extending your business at a cost and inconvenience to you, but there is a better way:</p>
<p><strong>Outsource web content to Precise English </strong></p>
<p>Many businesses outsource web content to us. It’s your decision whether or not you tell your clients that the content came from us: you can provide a new service for the benefit of your customers and ensuring their long term loyalty, while also adding a new source of revenue for your company.</p>
<p>At Precise English, we recognise that for web companies to make a healthy profit on our copywriting services we need to provide re-seller prices. To learn more about the <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/contact.cfm">prices for re-sellers get in touch with us today.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your business depends on finding a specialist who you can trust when it comes to <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/content-for-seo-companies.cfm">SEO outsourcing</a> then look no further: Precise English are the specialists you have been looking for.</p>
<p><span id="more-1743"></span></p>
<p>As fellow SEO specialists, we understand the pressure which your work can bring, and what’s more we can help.</p>
<p>Whether yours is a problem where you have inadvertently taken on too much work or you weren’t expecting a peak in business and need some assistance as you search for more staff and resources, we can help on a long or short term basis.</p>
<p><strong>The factors which qualify us for your SEO outsourcing </strong></p>
<p>Because our business is similar to yours (we’re an online SEO copywriting company – working with optimisation projects every single day), we’re uniquely qualified to understand and appreciate your deadlines and targets. What’s more, because we’ve been there we understand the pressure which a looming deadline puts on your entire staff and we know that it can be extremely difficult to balance that stress with high quality content which gives your customers the best results.</p>
<p>We’re flexible enough that we can create huge amounts of SEO content for article submissions or one off pieces of content but with the high standards for which we’re well known shining through in every piece.</p>
<p>Specifically though, if you’ve made a promise to your customers then think of us as an extension to your own staff – we know you don’t want to let your customers down and when it comes to SEO outsourcing, we won’t let you down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The problem with a lot of technical terms as far as our clients are concerned is that they are only understandable if the client has a great deal of technical knowledge. Books and websites on information technology are often written at an advanced level and that’s why so many of our customers are confused when we bring up the subject of <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/writing-meta-tags.cfm">writing Meta Tags</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-1737"></span></p>
<p>We try to explain the term and its usefulness in promoting their website in the broadest and simplest terms and (we hope) they leave understanding what we’ve told them but if you’ve ever wondered what Meta Tags or Meta data is and the benefit that they can have to your business, this is the blog for you.</p>
<p>In short, Meta Tags are the descriptions of your website that your clients see when searching on a search engine – they also give the search engine an idea of what it each site is and what the content relates to.</p>
<p><strong>Writing Meta Tags</strong></p>
<p>At Precise English, we’re experienced enough to know that Meta Tags do not hold the importance that they used to with Google. However, who’s to say exactly how much importance they hold? And if you ignore them what will your customers see when they see your website in the search engine listings? Your Meta Titles and Descriptions needs to attract the user enough to make them want to click on your site, and this is where our copywriting skills can help.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>To learn more check out the Writing Meta Tags page or <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/contact.cfm">send us an email</a>.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Precise English have been specialising in providing a variety of copywriting service, including our <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/newsletter-writing.cfm">Newsletter Writing service</a>, since 2009 and we’re very proud of the high standards of quality, accuracy and customer service we’ve provided ever since.</p>
<p><span id="more-1728"></span></p>
<p>We know that you value customer service too, and that’s why we’re sure you’re aware of the benefits of a newsletter. You can reach your customers on a regular basis, tell them your news and remind them of who you are and what you do. Furthermore, your customers get to feel by receiving the newsletter that they’re part of the gang and it cements the relationship between you and them.</p>
<p>The biggest problem for businesses with writing newsletters is the amount of work, time and effort which producing a regular newsletter can involve.</p>
<p>This time and effort can be enough to convince businesses that are aware of the benefits, that they cannot cope and their newsletter writing efforts fall by the wayside.</p>
<p>That approach is obviously not helpful and it seems to us that it’s a shame when businesses don’t take advantage of the benefits.</p>
<p><strong>Our Newsletter Writing services can help</strong></p>
<p>Hiring a third party to provide newsletter content and design means that you get the benefit with none of the hassle which can often be involved.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">To learn more about our <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/contact.cfm">content writing services click here to get in touch</a> with Precise English.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As more businesses choose to give their customers the choice and ability of buying goods online, it’s little wonder that the priority for these businesses is turning towards <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/ecommerce-seo.cfm">eCommerce SEO</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-1724"></span></p>
<p>Many businesses make the “fatal error” when writing or organising the content for their eCommerce websites of relying on the product descriptions from their suppliers and whilst this might be perfectly adequate for the purpose of describing and raising interest in the products they sell, they may be doing themselves a mis-service in terms of SEO without even knowing about it!</p>
<p><strong>What can eCommerce SEO do for you? </strong></p>
<p>Ecommerce copywriting should fulfil two basic requirements and as it is a newer medium than regular website writing, by employing the requirements, a business could put themselves ahead of their competitors.</p>
<p>The first of the requirements is obviously to describe the products you sell and in doing this, any written content should capture the imagination and excitement of your customers as well as stimulating their desire for the product.</p>
<p>The second requirement is the SEO – which are the techniques which can get your site noticed by search engines and puts you higher in their rankings.</p>
<p>What many of our customers don’t realise is that their eCommerce writing could all be done by our professional copywriters using the techniques and expertise which have propelled us to the top of our field.</p>
<p>What they’re even more surprised to find is just how fast and effective the results of professionally written eCommerce SEO from Precise English could be for them.</p>

You’ve probably enthused about these factors to your clients but then had to send them elsewhere in order to find a professional copywriting firm.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Precise English could ensure that you never have to send a customer elsewhere again.</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Offer your clients the full package! Web Design AND Content</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[A humourous blog post showcasing errors that have been made in the past by the press. <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/blog/realise-importance-accurate-copy-genuine-press-blunders/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Organisations of many different forms share an equally strong desire for getting their public messages across clearly and accurately. But with many such organisations lacking the necessary writing expertise, it makes sense for them to task the staffers of <a href="http://www.precise-english.com/">Precise English</a> with writing their articles, blog posts, press releases and so forth.</p>
<p><span id="more-1634"></span></p>
<p>In fact, this move could prove a godsend, should the organisation wish to avoid the kind of misunderstandings likely to have been generated by the following unfortunate press headlines and stories. And, yes, every single one of them is genuine*&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;She has visited the cemetery where her husband was buried on a number of occasions.&#8221; -Shropshire Star</p>
<p>&#8220;When Miss Virginia Brenholtz, 17, of 911 Franklin Avenue, awakened to find a burglar at her bedside early Sunday, she gave him a shave and screamed for help.&#8221; &#8211; Columbus Citizen, Ohio</p>
<p>&#8220;A £50,000 plus research project aimed at establishing the best means of subtitling TV programmes for deaf and partially-dead people is to be carried out at Southampton University.&#8221; &#8211; Southern Evening Echo</p>
<p>&#8220;11.10 The Mayor of Casterbridge: Repeat showing of the final part of &#8216;Mayor of Casterbridge&#8217; &#8211; a threat in store for those who missed it on Sunday.&#8221; &#8211; West Lancashire Evening Gazette</p>
<p>&#8220;Further outlook: Some rain, becoming milk later.&#8221; &#8211; Yorkshire paper</p>
<p>So, there you have it. All the evidence that any organisation needs of the importance of accurate spelling and grammar in promotional and press copy &#8211; unless, of course, any such organisation honestly expects to see some rain turning white and rich in calcium. Others might just find some of the reliable copywriting services from Precise English useful.</p>
<p>*Well, Harry Hill says so, since they were all taken from Harry Hill&#8217;s Bumper Book of Bloopers, which is now available from all good bookshops, etc. etc. etc.</p>

<p>It feels good to give such an early, definitive answer rather than build up to a conclusion. However, I still feel it’s only fair to <em>justify</em> my answer and explain why exactly so many experienced and knowledgeable people are against the use of justification for the web.</p>
<p><span id="more-1580"></span></p>
<p><strong>Are you a web designer or developer? Or are you one of these clients&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>We’ve had clients in the past ask us whether they should justify the text for their website because <em>“it will look cleaner and neater”.</em> If you’ve ever had this asked of you, or if you’ve ever been the client doing the asking, we can most certainly relate.</p>
<p>With regards to our own clients, in most cases we’ve managed to persuade the client to keep the industry standard left alignment that we all know and love. However, there has been a few cases where we’ve lost the battle and the client has justified the text regardless.</p>
<p><strong>A quick introduction to justified text</strong></p>
<p>Text that’s justified is aligned within a column along both the left and right margin. When justifying, the spaces between words are stretched (or compressed) to align with both margins.</p>
<p>Justified text is used positively in newspapers to provide a clear structure for such a large amount of text.</p>
<p><strong>“OK, so why is it so wrong to use justified text on my website?”</strong></p>
<p><em>There’s more than one reason not to use justified text.</em></p>
<p>Printed media is a lot different to media viewed on a screen – well, it is for the human eye. An image on your computer screen is refreshed multiple times a second, making reading from a screen a lot harder on your eyes than if you were reading from say, a newspaper where the text is static.</p>
<p>Below are just four of many reasons why you should stay clear of using justified text for your website:</p>
<ol>
<li>Different systems can display the text differently, especially the ‘rivers’ of white space (when spaces between words align with other lines of text creating a column of space throughout the content). Unfortunately this draws the eye away from the text, making it extremely difficult to read.</li>
<li>CONTROL – an editor for print has complete control over how the user will get to see the content. If you decide to use justified text on your website then this will not be the case. With almost endless combinations of browsers, operating systems etc. (all with different versions, too!) this means that you’re simply not able to see every single scenario of how the text will look on the screen.</li>
<li>The above two points can make it difficult for dyslexic users to read the text on your website if it is justified. The white space distracts the eye, making it very easy to lose your place. Dyslexia is not something that a web designer or developer should ignore, in fact The British Dyslexia Association says <strong><strong>10% of the British population are dyslexic.</strong></strong></li>
<li>Blind and visually impaired users find it very difficult to read justified text as the software they use, such as screen magnifiers, enlarges the uneven spaces even further to make it very hard to follow a sentence.<strong></strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Don’t decrease your website’s readability with justified text.</strong></p>
