These examples of web content were written for the main Monterey County Office of Education (MCOE) website. MCOE provides educational and support services to county K-12 schools and districts. This and the other 300+ pieces of web content on the site have been extremely effective in increasing awareness and use of services, and developing community participation and good will.

Good writing is an important component of the online experience. Most people who use the internet spend most of their time online reading words on a page. It follows that well written, informative, relevant content is essential to the success of any website venture. Web content must satisfy the information needs of the target audiences. Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling add strength to the impression that the organization is professional and trustworthy.

Writing for the web is very different from writing for print. Site visitors are notoriously impatient and are rarely willing to dig through long pages of written content to find the information they need. Effective web content is designed specifically to be concise, easy to understand, relevant to the target audience, and logically organized.
