Any web designer will tell you that whilst their clients are happy to spent any amount of time tweaking colours etc. they will pay almost no attention to getting the words right. This partly because design is sexier, partly because the bulk of the design work is done for them by the designer and partly because writing content for the site is hard.The text needs input from the business owner as the web designers job is to design a site that gets noticed and the site designer wont know the business concerned in any depth.
Mackay Web Design cannot stress enough how important it is to get the words right, it wont matter if the site design looks great, badly written content will hurt in terms if potential clients clicking the back button and search engine optimisation. Google is ranking pages on well written and relevant content plagiarised or copied content will not help the search engine optimisation (SEO) Google brand such text as ‘Thin” or “Boilerplate” and will penalise the site that this is found on by lowering rankings
