Intranet managers: train all your content authors economically and efficiently

You are managing content but most of it is written by untrained, unskilled staff. Not surprisingly, most of their content is sub-standard. Yet here's an amazing fact: you can double a web site's usability just by editing the content correctly!

All staff documents need to communicate within seconds, have high credibility, and succeed in search results. They all need to be web-proofed, and you certainly haven't got time to do it. The alternative is to train all your content authors not just a small group of specialists, but everyone who writes memos, manuals, minutes, reports, procedures, newsletters, policy, proposals or lessons. They're all being published on the intranet. You want them to meet your standards, but the situation keeps getting right out of control.

You have been looking for a simple, hands-off, cost-effective solution. You've tried workshops; they've been popular but the impact is limited, and organising them is a heck of a lot of work. University courses are overkill. Reading a book just isn't enough. And regular writing courses don't even begin to address the problems of intranet content.

That's why we created the Contented courses. They are exactly what you need. This is the cheapest, easiest way to double the usability of your intranet: train your writers.
