I need my own space!

Only this morning, I was thinking about having my own website, building my own client base and coming out from the shadows of Hughes Design. I mentioned this in passing to Mike, who happened to be sitting next to me, and before you could say "North London Copywriting" I had my own website. Perhaps he's looking to cut me loose...

So, have a look and see what you think - the URL is www.northlondoncopywriting.co.uk

Copywriting Top Tip

With web copy (and in my view, copy in general), less is more. Write in plain English, keep it short and simple. Try to keep to a word count of under 250 words, with sentences limited to a maximum of 20 words.
