As president of a copywriting firm that writes and edits dozens of online projects a year, I've come across several common blunders that prevent effective communication via Web. Here are my top five:

BLUNDER #1: Hiding who you are and what you do.

It's sad that many sites make it a challenge to figure out what they're about. Yes, it may be cool to have a giant dancing logo on your home page, but don't forget WHY your visitors are there: to learn what you can DO for them! Be sure your home page includes a *short overview* that clearly and concisely describes what you have to offer. It's also a good idea to repeat your tagline or a short mission statement on *every page* of your site. Why? People can pop in and land on an inside page via a search engine/directory link that you may not be aware of. Make sure they know who your are right away.

BLUNDER #2: Writing for print.

Reading copy on a computer screen is different than reading printed text. We read online text more slowly, and we tend to scan rather than read because, visually, words are harder to digest. Help your users find key words and concepts quickly by making your copy "scannable." Instead of intro paragraphs, use subheads. Use shorter sentences, paragraphs, and pages. Use bulleted lists. And use hyperlinks to give readers more info if they want it.

BLUNDER #3: Writing too formally.

So, lets dive in subject right away and say that you need to have a web site. An e-business site to create a presence for you on web. I'll show you how to decide what your site is going to be about in a moment. In meantime, lets take a look at reality here.

All indications and expert analysts' reports point to direction where world is headed. Everyday, e-commerce generates $32,000,000 in sales. The whole world is connected. Domain names are going at a scary rate everyday. Think of any domain name and do a whois on it. I bet you'll find that it has been taken. This should be enough for you to start thinking; you owe it to yourself.

When I decided to make a web site I had an idea on what it's going to be about. I didn't have money to start an e-business site right away. Instead, I started a site, which cost me $120.00 CDN for a 1-year hosting and $70.00 US for domain registration for 2 years. Remember when I said domain names are going fast, it took me 3 days to find this name.
