Read a few government, council and NGO client testimonials

"Hi Simon, just writing to let you know that the feedback from our staff was extremely
positive. They loved the mix of theory and use of pages from our own site.
Thank you once again for the great workshops."
Richard Shorten, Training Officer, National Prescribing Service
 

"One of the reasons Simon’s workshop was so effective is that he did his homework
and provided examples from our existing site to clearly explain the theory. His entertaining
and friendly presenting style meant that his message cut through clearly. I got good
feedback from the participants and would confidently recommend his course
to other organisations looking to run a web writing workshop.”
Martine Brieger, Manager Communications, Wyong Shire Council 
 

“I would strongly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to better connect
with their website users. Simon offered so many practical insights into how our
organisation can improve its online communications and, judging from staff
feedback, it was time and money very well spent. We are all feeling much more
confident and inspired – thanks again Simon.”
Rachael McCully, Communications Officer, Dental Health Services Victoria
 

"Simon worked closely with us to understand our online strategy and the diverse content
published via the website, email and social media.All participants received a comprehensive
workbook tailored specifically for the AMA, which is now an excellent reference tool for staff.

Simon delivered this course with clarity and professionalism.  I highly recommend him to any
private or public organisation looking to train their staff in how to write for the web."
Sarah Morrison, Website Manager, Australian Medical Association
 

"Simon has given NBCF some very useful inside information on how to make our new
website navigation and language more user friendly and greatly increase participation
in our events and fundraising.  Perfect for bringing more funds into breast cancer research."
Sue Murray, CEO, National Breast Cancer Foundation
 

“Informative, valuable and so relevant to local government. The practical comparisons
with other council websites were great. The way Simon constructively critiqued our web pages 
and had our staff apply his techniques to re-writing those pages was enormously beneficial"
Eleanor Raftery, Waverley Council
