Submitting your content to Birdwing Designs

Please submit your content to Birdwing Designs in two stages. First, prepare your homepage text and e-mail that to us as early in the project as possible, as it can be used in the design process. You can send the copy either right in your e-mail or in a Microsoft Word document.

Then, you may begin preparing the rest of your site content in one big Microsoft Word document, organized according to the navigation structure of your site. Please do not submit your content in several e-mails or before it is finalized, unless requested.

An approach that works well is to draft all of the content, and then to go back another day and edit it for web readability and search engine optimization. Tips for each of these are located in the the resources section. It can also be really helpful to have another person give your content a fresh eye.
