Is a copy writer reviewing for reviewing on site text?

    Hi,

    Is it recommended to have a copywriter review all texts on a site? Or should this be used for articles and press releases only?

    Thanks

    First of all, you need to be aware of what a copywriter DOES... it sounds like you are looking for a proofreader.

    A copywriter writes content designed to sell or promote something or otherwise get you to act in some way. This differs from other writing wherein the chief purpose is to enlighten, inform or entertain.

    In simple terms, a proofreader reviews text to ensure it's free from errors. It sounds like that's what you need.

    You can hire a copywriter to review/edit your web copy.

    I'm assuming your Web site is about your product, service, etc. and not a collection of article.

    If it is a collection of articles, such as a blog or news site, hire an editor.

    Hi thanks to both you.

    I guess i proof reader is kinda what i'm implying. Although i'd prefer a copywriter for the simple reason they can convey the message ...

    Thanks again
