Introductions

[kwatt]

Here’s something for you all to ponder over.

We’re asked for an introduction to “what’s it about” when it comes to the WTA so I need content and points.

Once I have them I’ll collate them to a document in PDF or print format electronically and add some art etc. but I will need a little help with it.

For the Public or for the Trade?

Trade with a Noddy “How to join” etc.

Some just like a bit of paper they can read on teh loo or whatever but, despite a site packed with info, you still get the “Can you send more information…” malarky. 😕

Re: Introductions

Okay, I was thinking about this and I’ve been knocking it about a bit.

I’ve created this draft introduction so that it can be used online, as a PDF as well as offline in a mailshot or whatever if required. It’s fully updateable etc. and can be changed on a whim.

Discuss…

Not got time to have a full look at that just now, spotted a couple of typos on first few lines, presentation looks great, will peruse it in more detail later. 🙂

Re: Introductions

Layout is very nice, first paragraph in the Online section has a ‘one’ that should be ‘done’ and an ‘alos’ that should be ‘also’.

TBH that first paragraph does not scan that well.

I suggest. 🙂

………………………………………………………………………………….

We often get asked why we carry out most of our operations online.
Quite apart from the obvious speed and ability to reach large numbers of people in an instant, it means that we can substantially reduce our operating costs.
We feel that a modern trade association should reflect the way that all forward thinking businesses operate by using the best resources available , the internet is a major part of that strategy.

…………………………………………………………………………………..

Also the is one i to many in the word using in the last paragraph.

Re: Introductions

If I didn’t leave in typos you’d have nothing to do Jim. Of course there’s typos, it’s me what did it ‘guv. 😉 😆

I was more on about the idea/s and what we would want to be saying to people. Same with the newsletter one so that we can take a view on what, if anything, we want to do with them.

Nice one :tup: …. Looks good to me, attractive layout! 🙂

Re: Introductions

I think the four headings on the second page are fine, the content of those should be fairly straightforward I would have thought, at least for now. 😉

Re: Introductions

Its a work in progress, standard forms are often filled with Latin or indeed gobblygook until you substitute your own words.

It helps with the layout and formatting.

Re: Introductions

Okay, I’ll just crack on with it then and update once I have it sorted out to a degree I’m happy with it, then you guys can pick the bones.

I think I may revamp the repairs@ form and use it as an application though as then we can put the guys on repairs@ and set them up for a host of stuff in one fell swoop rather than having multiple forms, which is a total pain. Hope that makes sense to everyone?

Updated.

Please check the content now and see if it’s okay, I think I got most of the typos Jim. 😉

Re: Introductions

There is one glaring error, will come back to that. Still don’t like the first paragraph in the Online section, ‘the costs of much that we do are’ is very messy grammar and the phrase ‘Asides from which’ is not pretty either.

The alternative that I suggested earlier in the thread says everything that the original piece does, but in a clear, concise manner, IMHO of course 😀

In the COP section there are two typo’s in the third paragraph.

Now the biggie, in the Technical Information section, you surely didn’t mean to say that the WTA ‘strongly condones’ the restriction of tech info did you. 😆
