Skip to content

As a web author, it is important to take ownership of the content you manage, but also to know what options exist to enhance the pages for which you are responsible. The highest priority when considering updating content is to verify that all text is accurate, up-to-date and easy to read and understand. Once all content is created, there are some layout options and visual enhancements that are available.

    "The impact the Lowth Entrepreneurship Center has had on me is incredible. I’ve been able to concentrate fully on my business because I have so many resources at hand — mentors, lawyers, designers, speech coaches and more. I have been able to pitch my company to different audiences and give it valuable exposure. "
