More web writing course and workshop feedback:

"Simon Hillier is great at helping writers get a handle on the web and understand how it differs from print - from how to write articles for a web audience to writing techniques that 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. He clearly showed us how to 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." 
Tara Commerford, Project Manager, Key Media Publishing
