Temporary web content manager

Your temporary web content manager

New websites are wonderful, but the transfer across can be challenging.

I’ve worked on the web since 1997 and overseen countless web migrations. These include Durham Cathedral’s 150-plus pages and the Lake District National Park website’s 500-plus pages.

If you want a ‘shadow’ web content manager to temporarily work in parallel to your existing website, I can help.

Replant, re-seed, rejuvenate

How great would it be to move house and have the removal company mend and clean everything too? I can virtually do this by correcting typos, inconsistencies and duplications. I’ll cut down any long sentences to make them more enticing to customers AND Google. Plus I can ‘grow’ new content to plug the gaps.

Sowing images

I’m not a graphic designer. But I did create all the graphics on this website adapting off-the-peg botanical images in Photoshop and Canva.

As part of your web migration project, I can re-size images to fit your new design layout. I’ll also label them correctly to get more attention from Google.

Techie and creative speak

I’m used to working with web developers and designers. My basic level of coding also helps when reporting and solving problems. This can be through a risk log, bug reporting system, phone calls or remote meetings.

Let me liaise with your internal team and external suppliers to get the job done.

Taking it for a test drive

Every web content management system (CMS) has its quirks. As your temporary web content manager I can identify these early on.

I can report bugs, suggest improvements, write user manuals and train your staff so they’re prepared for the handover.

Here are some CMS set-ups I’ve worked with:

• Wordpress
• Drupal
• Joomla
• Squiz Matrix
• Magento
• Wix
• Bespoke to that company or organisation

Being your audience

As a fresh pair of eyes, I point out issues that could trip up your website, including:

• Printing issues
• Layout inconsistencies
• Colour schemes that breach Disability Discrimination Acts

What my clients say

When I stepped in mid-website migration to cover staff illness:

“Thank you for your sterling work over the last few months. Your knowledge allied to your enthusiasm have helped us get through a very difficult period.”

– Richard Payne, Communications Manager for Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority
