COMING SOON.

NOT YET IN SERVICE.

Services

As you may have read on previous pages, errors of language and grammar can happen all too easily, and they can harm your image, particularly when they occur on your website. I know how easy it is to pass over grammar glitches without noticing them. Most of us have seen TV commercials mentioning that people can become “nose blind” to odors without knowing it. When it comes to our own writing, it is dangerously easy for us to become “grammar and typo blind,” which is why I do what I do.

I hope that you have arrived at this page because you are interested in making use of my services. Currently, you have the choice of three levels of service. Perhaps you’d like to start by cautiously dipping a toe in the water with my “Flyover” service. Or you may be a bold “jump in at the deep end” person who wants to start with “The Works” and get this done in even greater depth. For those who are somewhere between the two, I offer “Digging Deeper.”

Services and Prices:

Please note that these are introductory launch prices. I do not know how long I will hold to them, but it may not be for very long.

The following introductory offers cover up to four pages of one web site, including the home page, for you to explore and experience how I work. After “testing” my work in this way, should you choose to have me work on an entire site that is larger than four pages, the cost will depend on the word-count and/or size of the site. (After all, some pages barely cover a screen, and some call for much scrolling before one reaches the bottom.) Larger sites may be priced more economically in terms of cost over length.

In order that you may maintain full control over your website, please note that, at all levels of service, while I will suggest whatever changes I see as being advisable, and explain why I recommend them, t will be for you or your website developer to make those changes, based on your decisions after considering my recommendations.
That way you are fully in control of your site throughout our process. (See here for examples of how I give feedback and here for testimonials from people with whom I have worked in the past.)

The Flyover: For four website pages, a simple check for grammatical and punctuation errors with suggestions for replacement. $125.00.

Digging Deeper: For four website pages, a check on grammar and punctuation, plus suggestions regarding wordage, structure and link effectiveness. $150.00

The Works: Services provided for four website pages, including both items above plus suggested re-writes of parts if I see sentences that, although grammatically correct, take effort to read because of “run-ons,” awkwardness of word order, or because I see the potential for a smoother and/or more persuasive way of wording the message that you are presenting. $200.00

At all levels, additional pages can be added at my standard “returning client” copy editing rates after I have completed the initial four.

The Purchasing Process

When you make your choice of level of service you will be taken to PayPal. After the payment process has been completed you will be returned to my “welcome page.”

1. 1. Please go to the drop-down just below, click on the small down-arrow on the right, and there select the level of service that works best for you. Clicking on this will take you to a secure Paypal page.
  2. When payment has been completed you may need to scroll down to reach the “Return to merchant” link. This will bring you to my “Red Carpet Welcome” page so that we can start working together.**
  3. The next step will be for you to respond to the questions on the form at the bottom of the Red Carpet welcome. These enable me to find your website URL and to contact you. Here, too, you can indicate any preliminary concerns that you have about your website’s written content and/or your target audience.
  4. When completed, that form will enable me to take a look at your website, and note which four pages you want me to work on, so please be sure to indicate that. I will do a preliminary check on these pages and then contact you to discuss your preferences as to your goals for the website, you target market(s) and how you and I can best work together.
  5. Please choose which level of service you wish me to provide and move to the drop-down menu below. First, click on the down-arrow to the right (ignore the “Flyover message to the left). This will open up the drop-down menu and show the three levels of service.. Click on the one you choose and follow through to the Paypal page where you can make the payment. When that process is completed you will be return to my welcome page as indicated above.
    
    (One last thing: I do have a few standards as to the type of website on which I will work. For example, I will not work on sites containing porn or that encourage drug use or that are not ‘out in the open,’ but I’m assuming that your website isn’t one of those…LOL.)
    
    Please click on the small drop-down arrow on the right – not the larger red one – to open up access to the three levels of service. Click on your choice and you will be taken to the Paypal Paypal page.
