Here at JB Writing Services I concentrate on providing a service that encompasses all aspects of branding, from the written content on your website or brochure, right down to a colour scheme, logo design, website and social media management campaign. All of these items are integral to a successful brand, without which your image may be severely lacking.

Branding Service Cork, Ireland

The branding process should begin right at the conception stage of your business or blog and should always be foremost in your mind when developing a business plan. What is your business? Where do you provide value? What sets your brand apart from the competition?

Once you have developed a business plan and mission statement, it’s now time to get working on your offline and online presence. This is where JB Writing Services steps in….

Domain Choice & Hosting

Choosing your domain name should be something that should be done in conjunction with JB Writing Services where possible, I will assist you with keyword research and competitor analysis prior to choosing a domain name, this will give your business the headstart it deserves with the search engines.I will also advise on the right hosting choice for your website.

Website and Logo Design Cobh, Co. Cork

The next stage in your branding journey should include visual branding, by this i mean logo and website design. Prior to developing your website, I can provide you with a number of logo design options that best represent your brand, making your brand stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons. JB Writing Services includes a 1 hour consultation with all logo projects in order to fully understand what it is that makes your product or service special. I will then deliver 3-4 different logo drafts for you to choose from, you may like one logo straight off the bat, or you may like certain elements of different designs. Remember this is an exploration stage and it’s during the second stage that I develop your final ready to use logo. All logo files are delivered ready for print or online publication, in high resolution or vector format.

Website Design Cobh, Co. Cork

Once your logo and colour scheme has been decided and designed, I then get on with building your website and writing content that will have the search engines ranking you within 3 weeks from launch. I will deliver a fully responsive website that adjusts according to screen size, so your website will be user friendly for all device users whether they are browsing using a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. It’s worth keeping in mind that over 70% of searches are now done using a smart device, so you need to make sure your website is as responsive as possible.

Onsite SEO

I will optimise your completed site with the appropriate meta data, this will include all page titles, alt tags for images, page descriptions, tags, categories, headings and of course the overall site description that Google serves up to users.

Thinking of writing a book?

Aug 26, 2014 | Uncategorized, Web Copy, Web Design

They say that every person has one good book in them, and why shouldn’t they??

Here at JB Writing Services I actively encourage those wishing to put pen to paper, what a wonderful way to express yourself and bring joy to those around you. I see authors who write about local history, tell far-flung stories, dream up the most amazing poetry and share their knowledge through books of all shapes and sizes. The biggest problem for them was getting published!

Over the past decade, traditional publishing has taken a twist. Publishing a book has always been a dream for many of us, but unfortunately, sometimes feels out of reach. Endless phone calls, chasing agents (if you can get one), sending synopsis (let alone writing them), only to be rejected, left feeling like no one will ever get to read your words. But now that needn’t be the case!

Self Publishing

With self publishing now readily available throughout Ireland, there is absolutely no reason why your book can’t take centre stage, no agents fees, no publishers cut, sure a little bit of legwork is involved in promoting your book, but think of the fun you can have with that & it’s all on your terms!

I work with a self publishing company here in County Cork called selfpublishbooks.ie. The guys here really know their stuff and go out of their way to make sure your book gets all the attention it deserves. Pop over to their website & have a look at some of their work, incredibly impressive and without doubt affordable to those who wish to go down the self publishing route.

eBooks

If you don’t currently have the means to fund a ‘physical’ book, why not boost your savings pot by selling your book in a downloadable format first. Platforms like Amazon, iBooks and other online book portals can now make your dream of being a published author a reality. You can use the proceeds to fund a self published, ready to sell ‘physical’ book!

Where I come in…..

So you have a book idea, you’ve written some of it, maybe even completed it. Your family thinks it’s good, your friends think it’s good, heck….you think it’s the best thing ever written. But have you looked carefully?

I bring a fresh set of eyes to your book, I don’t just read it, I audit it. Are your commas, colons and full stops all in the right place? Is your spelling correct? Are your sentences structured in a readable way? Are you ready to push the ‘publish’ button?

I provide:

  • Proofreading
  • Editing
  • Typing services
  • Picture formatting
  • Cover design
  • Copyright info
  • A print ready pdf ready to give to your publisher
  • An eBook ready to upload to your online store of choice

So if you’re ready to take the plunge and need someone to give your book the attention it deserves, give me a call or pop me an email. Don’t leave it to chance, there’s nothing worse than picking up a book that just isn’t ‘quite there yet’!
