Peace of mind before you go live

You’ve created your new website to wow people, but spelling mistakes, formatting inconsistencies and technical glitches can leave a very different impression.

When you’re keeping an eye on the bigger picture, it’s all too easy for errors to creep in. Building a website is an enormous task, often involving many different people and a lot of chopping and changing.

Our professional proofreaders offer a fresh pair of highly trained eyes. They help you make sure your new website is pristine when you press publish.

Typos on the home page? We’ll spot them. Links broken? We’ll flag them. Website copy that contravenes your editorial guidelines? We’ll fix it.

We’ve got the capacity to turn work around fast and the flexibility to work around you – so when deadlines shift, we can adjust. We’ll fit in with your processes, even proofreading in your CMS if you like.

If your web copy still needs more significant reworking, you’ll need our editing service, or if you’re starting from scratch, we can get our copywriters on the case.

Frequently asked questions

How does website proofreading work?

A professional proofreader will read every page of your website, checking for errors such as spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes. But this is more than your basic proofreading job. Our website proofreading service also includes checking overall quality, including stylistic and language consistency, layout and formatting, as well as links.

How much does website proofreading cost?

Our proofreading fees are bespoke to each project and are based on factors such as word count and the level of work involved. For more extensive work, our copywriting or editing services might be a better fit. We’d be delighted to discuss how we can make your website the best it can be, so get in touch for a free consultation.

What format is best for website proofreading?

Many clients share a beta version of their website as a link, so we can proofread their website exactly as it will appear when it’s gone live. In these cases, we note our suggestions in a Word file.

But we can also proofread web content before it’s been flowed into the final web design, or even proofread in your CMS. Let us know what would be most helpful for you and we’ll fit in with that.

What turnaround time can I expect?

The typical turnaround time for website proofreading depends on the word count and how much work is needed. As an adaptable and flexible team, we can usually fit in with your process – just let us know your turnaround time and we’ll do our best to meet it.
