On
a Website, the
Little Things
Can Make or Break You.
One thing
we've learned in ten-plus years of website writing is that
even the most meticulously maintained sites can work harder
at brand building and at giving people a better
online experience. If undetected, ill-developed content can confuse
visitors, hurt your image and cause people to question
your
competency and professionalism. Among the most damaging
are:
• Inconsistencies between your site and other marketing materials, especially
in
look, tone, messaging and terminology
• Embarrassing errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation
• Long sentences and repetitive use of specific words or phrases
•
Jargon-laden verbiage or unapproachable "corp-speak" that
can alienate or intimidate
your readers
How
To Stay On Top Of It.

summary.
