Usable content

The usability of your website is not just about the forms and functionality. It can refer to your content too. Here's an example of good content that is simply not usable. Would you want to read that?

Here are some tips for better writing:

  • Avoid alliteration. Always.
  • Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
  • Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
  • Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
  • Proofread carefully to see if you words out.

OK, seriously. Go here to learn more about writing for the web.
