Copyediting

Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

We have been working with an awesome volunteer to redo our website! We are in the final stages before launch, but I would love a volunteer to read over the copy on our new website to make sure it's clear, concise, and free of typos!

What we have in place
  • We currently have all the copy and pages completed, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have the ability to make changes, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to help more families receive food and financial advice on how to accomplish their goals.

We are so excited to have a new, updated website! However, we are making some major changes in the copy (most is rewritten), and want to make sure we are putting our best foot forward. Especially now, our website is our "front door," to the organization. The website is not live yet, but we are hoping to have a big launch soon...and it would be disappointing if there were copy errors! We would give you a password to view the new site.

Carissa was absolutely amazing. She combed through every single page on our website in just two days, and did very thorough edits of not only typos, but also made very constructive grammar suggestions. A great volunteer!
