On second thought, maybe it would be best if I wait for Bill's input before I start revising this just in case he has anything drastic in mind. Let me know if you'd like me to hold off until you hear back from him.

Bill has still not got back to me, so I made some suggested changes.....please see the suggestions in red.

Also, if you could ad in your writing, wherever it makes sense, the following words: employee development, leadership development, management skills.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Hi, Barrett,

I have some content that I can send you - later tongiht. It's more about the fear of public speaking - so I'm not sure if you want to use it.

I would like basically the same thing but with more words and with more use of the search engine optimization terminology.

Thanks!

Josh

Hi, Josh-

Regarding the pages for which you'd like more content, do you have any raw material you'd like me to review in order to flesh them out with more actual information, or would you just like me to say basically the same thing but with more words and with more use of the search engine optimization terminology?

Thanks,

Barrett

Barrett,

Please go ahead and rewrite the text on the site.

Here is a link to the site: http://www.igskills.com

I think we need a lot more content on the following pages:

http://www.illuminataglobal.com/evaluations.htm

http://www.illuminataglobal.com/languages.htm

http://www.illuminataglobal.com/customization.htm

http://www.illuminataglobal.com/aboutus.htm

http://www.illuminataglobal.com/seminars.htm

http://www.illuminataglobal.com/site/registration/registration.htm

Also, if you can use the following words in your rewrite, to optimize search engine placement that would be great:

Presentation skills, power point presentations, virtual presentations, business education, corporate training solutions, classes, courses, customized training, employee development, executive seminars, executive training, leadership development, leadership training, management education, management skills, management training, on-site training, performance management, new-hire training, supervisory skills, , training and development, training programs, workshops.

If you could put all your new text into a single Word document, with the web page heading above the new text that would be great

e.g.

Online Evaluations:

New Text

Global Capabilities

New Text

Etc.

Thanks!

Josh-

Thanks for getting back to me. Most of the text on the site - and particularly those portions falling under the "Presentation Skills," "Business Writing," and "Executive Coaching" sections - could use some re-writing, if only to professionalize the language a bit and thus hopefully make the overall message more attractive to your target demographic. This isn't to say that I'd pepper the text with unnecessary corporate speak or anything like that; it's mostly a matter of re-structuring sentences so that everything will read more smoothly.

I would charge $275 for a top-down revision of all the site text, and I could complete this by the end of the work week.

Let me know what you think.

Regards,

Barrett Brown
