Makemedia is proud to announce the launch of the new website www.writing-skills.com. Emphasis is a specialist business-writing consultancy that trains clients to write clearly and effectively.

The main objective of the new site is to promote the company as a high-quality resource for business writing and training. It does this effectively with its clean, professional and approachable design.

A key information channel for the site is the Resources section. The site aims to build an online community for people needing help with their business writing.

Fully supported and managed through our CMS, the Resources section contains a fantastic selection of up-to-the minute podcasts and blogs, a regular tips bulletin and an advice forum. If you could benefit from some business-writing advice, I suggest you drop by and get involved!
