Web Writing

Writing for the web has become a very important way of communication in the business world. The accessibility and speed of the internet is necessary in today's rapid paced, modern business world. Writing on the web is similar to writing on paper in many ways. Both have distinct purpose and a specific audience that they are trying to reach. Written work on paper and on the web both require research to back up ideas. It is important that both are written without grammatical errors so that they can reach their audience in a more professional manner. There are also differences between Web writing and written work on paper. Web writing is for fast paced readers. Web audiences want to read the information quickly. Web writing also uses a more simple style and is written more concisely. Although web writing tends to be more informal, it is important to remember that web writing is representative of your business and product. The web also uses hyperlinks to get to other pages of content. Because web writing is for fast reading, headings, subheadings, and bullets are used to break up information and make it easier to read.
