Writing Content for the WebWriting Content for the WebKeep your message clear and concise. Don’t write lengthy introductions or information that is not necessary. Remember that you are fighting to keep the reader’s attention with instant messaging, e-mails, banner ads, and so much more. Use bullets with bookmarks or anchors linking to additional information within the Web page to structure the layout gaining the reader’s attention and interest.

Reduce by 50%Reduce by 50%As a guideline, when you are writing for a Web page reduce the printed text by 50% (Price and Price, 2002).
Instead of writing long paragraphs, break text up with bullets, numbered lists, or tables.
A typical paragraph online only needs to be two or three sentences (Price and Price, 2002). The idea is to communicate directly to the reader with the exact information about the topic.
Too much information increases the chance of the reader leaving your Web page.
