A Website Content Writer with Over 10 Years’ Experience Writing for the Web
I write web content for clients in a range of industries. From full website content projects, to thought leadership articles and white papers, I use on-page SEO best practices to ensure your content gets found online.
What Makes a Good Website Content Writer?
‘Good content writing is well-researched. If the writer is able to put themselves in the audience’s shoes, then that makes a big difference and it really comes across in the text. Empathy is important too. If you’re able to dig down into what a customer’s pain point are and what issues they’re having, you can then present the product or service as the answer. And you can then build in the persuasive elements to encourage them to take action.’
Jamie Thomson, Brand New Copy
Website Content Writing Services
A good website content writer knows how to grab a reader’s attention, keep them interested and encourage them to take action. As a freelance we content writer, I’m able to deliver your messages clearly, in a persuasive way that appeals to your target audience.
Writing for the web requires a different approach to writing for print. When people read online, they tend to read the headline first, then scan the left-hand side of the page, looking for keywords that align with the specific information they’re looking for. They then read the body copy if the subheadings strike a chord.
Nowadays, we’re conditioned to click hyperlinks and jump between pages, so it takes a very persuasive page of content to keep your visitors focused. As a freelance website content writer, I can help ensure that your content attracts, interests, creates desire and inspires action.
I specialise in writing for the following industries:
• Fintech
• Technology
• Financial
• Energy
• Recruitment
• Education
• Oil and gas
• Engineering

Thought Leadership Articles & White Papers
Both thought leadership articles and white papers can help establish your company as a leader in your industry. They’re a great way of demonstrating your knowledge and expertise and can be very useful in generating leads for your business.
Keeping up to date with industry trends and committing to a regular content publishing schedule can be challenging for busy marketing departments. A freelance website content writer can take the pressure off by conducting research and publishing content for you on a regular basis.
As your dedicated web content writer, I’ll also take the time to research your competitors and your target audience to ensure that your content strategy achieves its objectives.
SEO-Optimised Website Content
Google’s search engine algorithms are constantly evolving. However, a content-first approach remains one of, if not the best digital marketing strategy for long-term business growth. Undoubtedly, the future of SEO is content-based. High quality, original content is the way forward when it comes to pleasing search engines, and as a freelance website content writer, I can help your business improve its online presence. I’ve worked with lots of clients over a range of different industries, optimizing online content to perform well in search engines. And I’ve had some pretty great results too.

How I Work
Before I take on any web content writing project, I like to get to know the client first. I’ll arrange an initial meeting (by telephone, email, Skype, or face-to-face) to learn more about your business and what you hope to achieve from working with me.
Once we’ve agreed a brief, I’ll create a project schedule outlining our content milestones. From there, I’ll send you a draft of the first page to approve. I’ll carry over any feedback to remaining pages and send them over in batches to approve as we go.
How Much Does a Web Content Writer Cost?
Every website content writing project is different. However, I believe in being as up-front as possible when it comes to pricing. My day rate is £500 and I provide a per-project price, so you’ll know exactly how much the work will cost up front. Some of the factors that I consider when pricing for website content writing include:
- The number of web pages that need written
- The number of words required per page
- How much research is involved
- Whether tone of voice guidelines are required
- Whether on-page SEO should be considered
- How many revisions are needed
- The project deadline
To provide some context, a small website copywriting project might look like this:
Initial briefing session: After completing our briefing form, we’ll arrange a one hour phone call or Skype session discuss the specifics of the project in more detail.
Research: Research can involve conducting a brief competitor analysis, creating tone of voice guidelines and researching the marketplace.
Writing: Home page, About page, Service pages x3
Amendments: Typically, we offer two rounds of revisions per page. However, we always aim to please and are usually happy to make additional tweaks at no extra cost until you’re happy with the copy.
The cost for a web content writing project with this scope would cost £2,500. The price would include all ongoing correspondence with the client, editing, proofreading and amendments. I’d send over each page individually to gather your feedback, adjust and approve as we go. Typically, I’d deliver all pages in two weeks from the agreed start date, assuming good client communication.
