Did
anyone read your message?
Did you know that the font you choose for your web site can stop
people reading?
Of course your font choice isn’t your only decision that may
turn surfers away from your message.
The colors you choose, layout and story length are just a few
things out of many that can make your story or break it.
There
are new rules for getting your message read on the Web
People read text on the Web differently to text printed on
paper. In fact both mediums are very different. That's why web
writing training is important if you want your web text to be
read.
If you want your message to have impact, your e-learning to
stick or you want to sell products and services, you need to
learn the new rules of writing for the Web.
Web reading is both a visual and linguistic experience. You
need to balance both the visual appeal of your text with
linguistic construction.
If your text is not right visually, you’ll lose readers. If
your text looks great but is linguistically poor, you’ll also
lose readers. Web writing is getting the balance right.
The words you choose, the way you construct sentences and how
you break up paragraphs can give your message power, or suck the
life out of it.
Create real impact with your writing the first time
If you write text for the web, it’s crucial to write in a way
that immediately gives your message power. You need to write in
a way that makes factual content on your e-learning site
memorable. And you need to make your product or service
attractive.
