CAP Q IS COMING YOUR WAY
You can call them whatever you like, with all the synonyms you can think of: blunders, faults, inaccuracies, lapses or slips: in other words, we’re talking about mistakes.
We hate mistakes on sight, especially on websites and especially mistakes in English. What’s the point of having a slick website with spectacular effects when your English copy is sloppy and riddled with mistakes? It’ll only have a bad impression on your potential English-speaking audience and make them chuckle and think: “here we go again with that typical inglese maccheronico”.
We see lots of these mistakes around on websites nowadays, and they do you no good at all. Your first impression upon your audience is the one that usually sticks. It’s funny how website owners are so obsessed over the tiny details of their website design and can’t really care less about having a good English copy. A small mistake here or there won't matter to most people or won't even be noticed. But a website packed with English phrases that were meant to be sentences but were not, and with incorrect verbs and misspellings will raise questions in the minds of your audience or potential customers and destroy the credibility of your website and, ultimately, of your company too. Bad grammar and spelling bring bad business. You’re lucky that we’re around to give you a helping hand.
At CAP Q, we have a special team named the “Handy Men”. Every week they perform what we call a QS (Quality Scan) on websites, focusing each time on a specific business sector. Whenever they spot really bad mistakes, they hand us the “QS Report” and we start contacting the company or organization, trying to arrange things to clean up the mess, ridding the website of all the errors, or even re-writing it if necessary. The trick is always how you present information, selecting the correct words and placing sentences in the proper order. Some of our best clients started their relationship with us by simply having their English website checked and fixed, then things started to roll and develop. Great partnerships sometimes start with a simple phone call.
So who knows, CAP Q may be coming your way to have a nice friendly chat to see how we can sort things out for your website and make it shine the way it should. In the meantime, if you want to see what we can do for you, tell us something about yourself and your needs. We’ll get back to you with a customized estimate.
