Module Three: WWW Standards

My Top 5 Rules fo Writing Online
  • Be Concise, everyone will appreciate it! The point you are making will be understood, and not confused by additional information that is not relavent.
  • Use lists, diagrams or pictures to convey information when possible, this will aid those who learn visually, and will be a quick explanation.
  • Do not use too many seperate windows, and if there are windows containing different sections of information, make sure they are headed clearly, and make it easy to navigate back to the page they came from.
  • Do not make a single web page too long, perhaps split it into two sections, that way the reader will find it less intimidating, and is more likely to read more of it.
  • Do not distract the reader from information with too many links, pictures, adds, games, the more stream line a page is the more likely it is that the viewer will stick to the information they were there for rather than heading off to another site and being distracted form their initial point.
