Notes, queries and infrequently asked questions ...

*   Rates

We have a day rate and a half-day rate, but we're flexible, and take into account the size, age, status and nature of your business or organisation. We'll sometimes do a job more cheaply, too, if you agree to pay sooner rather than later. (Standard terms are thirty days, there's no VAT, and all tweaks and rewrites are included in the price; we only - very rarely - need to requote if a client changes or adds to a brief once the work's done ... )

*   Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Software-wrangling and data-handling aren't part of what we do. SEO is a technical, specialist business we leave to technical, specialist people. We do, however, often work with clients whose brief includes a list of preferred SEO keywords. That's fine: there's a balance to strike between having your site highly placed, and having readable, non-robotic copy on its homepage.

*   Samples and portfolio

In an ideal world, we would feature many more lovely, full-colour examples of our work. In an ideal world, however, clients would always send us high-quality jpegs and we'd have a crack team of site-builders on standby. In other words, if you're not convinced by what we show or refer to here, then do get in touch; we'll put together some samples relevant to what you need.

 

Stinky Patter blog

Stinky Patter: HWW scrambles aboard the last train to Blogsville. It's mainly about writing, never exceeds 140 words per post and is - no, really - well worth a click.

What people say

Working with Jez from Hardworkingwords is always a refreshing and easy experience, his client detail and understanding of the various tones of voice required for our projects are always successful. And we know when we introduce Jez to our clients that they will enjoy a good and creative relationship.
