Typesetting, Proofreading & Transcribing
My degree is in Typography & Graphic Communication, which means I work with words and pay attention to detail. I can work quite happily writing, editing and proof reading copy for both print and web. I understand the importance of sticking to your house style, whether it's for your annual report or your company blog. I know how to work an apostrophe, and am just as happy working with hundred page training documents as 140-character tweets.
I have more than a decade's experience as a web designer, content manager and tutor of web site maintenance. I've written training documentation for end users of FrontPage and RedDot. I've worked on websites in multiple languages (English, German and French) and edited computer translations into grammatically correct English. Much of my experience has been with handling extremely sensitive and confidential information, often in the financial and pharmaceutical sectors.
I can transcribe audio documentation, populate your entire website with content, help you with ad-hoc updates, proof read your paperwork and typeset it beautifully. I have experience with FrontPage and Dreamweaver, RedDot, Vignette and ActivEdition, Quark and PhotoShop, Word and PowerPoint, Wordpress and Twitter.
My office is in Reading, Berkshire, but because I work from home I can conduct all my business via the magic of the internet.
My rates will vary depending on the type of work involved and the complexity of the project. They'll always be reasonable, and I work quickly. If there's anything I can help you with, please send an email to claire@designbyclaire.co.uk.
