Description:
Let’s paint a picture. You just had a terrific new website built for you (even if you didn’t go with Dino Enterprise, we don’t judge). However, the web designer is so good at their job, they don’t know yours! For web designers, content is the part that is often not included for this reason alone. Think About it Like This You have an accounting firm and you have a website that is just built. If you want the designer to write the content, it may look too standard like this: “We are accountants that specialize in the South Jersey area and we care about our customers. We use various softwares and have many employees working for you.” Boring right? Not only boring, but it’s short and generic. Writing Content yourself adds that personal feel and trust factor for your brand. With 998765432123456789 websites out there, why should someone choose you? Advice for Writing Content 1. Put your most important and Valuable Content First People online are looking for the quickest answer possible. If the takeaway information is not right in front of them, I guarantee they won’t spend time looking for it. People want answers fast because they’re always on the go these days. Most of your readers may come from their mobile device, and this audience is only getting larger. 2. Be Straight Forward Don’t beat around the bush if you want someone to take an answer. Embellishments are not good when writing for your website. 3. Don’t write for Search Engines, Write for People While search engines will be the ones ranking your work (like a teacher grading a test) what you say is ultimately written for people. While you shouldn’t use big words because people aren’t searching them, you should still write for people (someone is more likely to use the word “many” than “ubiquitous” while searching for things online). 4. Include Personal Pictures and Photos of your Work When choosing someone to redo your kitchen, you will need to see their work. Don’t just have a gallery, include these pictures in your About Us Page, Services Page, and Blog posts. 5. Don’t hide your Important Content If you want someone to buy a coat on your website, give them every opportunity. Even your blogs should have call to actions that allow the visitor to buy that item or make that phone call. 6. Stay Relevant Stay on topic. Visitors aren’t reading every word unless they’re REALLY interested. 7. Proofread your Articles There is nothing more off-putting to a new visitor on your website than spelling errors. I have not gone with companies countless times because of spelling errors in emails and brochures. Sometimes, I won’t focus on the content is a word is spelled wrong. I’ll keep reading, but my mind will still be thinking of that misspelling. Remember, just because there are no red underlined words, doesn’t mean it is grammatically correct. 8. Write with

A good idea would be a FAQ (frequently asked questions) page.

Page 54: A Guide to Content Writing

Page 55: A Guide to Content Writing
