5 most important ‘rules’ for writing online
Usability
The website should be easy to use and not complicated. It should be kept simple so you can navigate through the website without any fuss. If you have a complicated website, you can easily loose the attention of the reader. The navigation tools should be simple and should easily navigate you through the website. Also making sure that you can always return to the previous page or the homepage easily. Contact page should be easy to find, as this is the most important information.
Simple short information
The information provided on your website should be kept minimal. We all live and have a busy life, and we dont have a lot of time to surf for information while working. Writing too much can be time consuming for busy people and they will avoid reading all the content. Keep it precise and straight to the point.
Content
Only have relevant information. Users will surf your site for specific information, they dont want to read and waste time reading time wasting articles.
Appearance
The website should look user friendly. Also, the website should look clean and not
messy with information everywhere. The more simple it is, the easier it is for readers to look at.
Dividing the page into too many sections can be time consuming to look at and confusing. Keeping everything consistent. Make sure you have the heading and content in different type so you can easily scan through the information. Also making sure that the font you have chosen is legible to all readers.
Updated Information
Keep all the information up to date. Dates, web links, cost etc. If you have a website for selling products, the products should only show available goods and and the cost should be at the right cost at that point of time.
