6 tips for writing web content
- People don't read - they skim
- Be concise - avoid redundant and unnecessary words
- Put the most important content first (you don't know when a user will leave your page)
- Use bullets, lists and sub-headings to break up sections
- Use emphasis (bold or italic type) to help users find important content
- People don't like to scroll
- Keep your pages short - users will click on a link before they will scroll down the page
- If necessary, break content into logical sections on multiple pages. Remember to provide links forward and backward through the document.
- Users generally don't read directions, so try to create pages that don't require explanation
- Use content words as links (avoid "click here")
- Check your spelling and grammar
