Find the right voice for your website, and you connect your audience to your value in a more natural way. Professionally written American-English content increases your website's credibility instantly with both visitors and search engines.

Just in case you thought you were alone, it is not uncommon for people to struggle with that opening sentence, paragraph, or overall home page message.

Writing Style Guides and Adherence
Sometimes a consumer-oriented article is needed, and sometimes more formal language gets the job done, it all depends on the audience. I use the following style guides in my work, to varying degrees of application, but always applied in a consistent manner:
- The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style (Garner)
- The Associated Press Stylebook 55th Ed.
- A Brief Guide to the Chicago Manual of Style
