Simon Hillier is great at helping writers get a handle on the web and understand how the on-line medium is different from print. This includes how to make articles easier to read for a web audience and writing techniques to make websites more search engine friendly. I recommend him to any organisation wanting web training for their employees and/or members."
Tina Allen, President, Australian Medical Writers Association

"The workshop was exactly what we needed moving forward with specialised web content. The advice on how to structure articles for the web, and the differences between magazine and web readers, was excellent. It clearly showed us how to acheive our web business objectives - generate more traffic and subscribers, captivate viewers for longer and have them come back time and time again. Using examples from our magazines made the information even more relevant."
