Keep your sentences to the point

Because of this, you need to write in a slightly different style than you may be used to; long, convoluted analogies won’t keep readers – no matter how inventive they are.

Website readers will generally skim a page for relevant information. They will probably only read every sentence if they find something interesting and appropriate.

Punctuation and paragraphing can really help with this, as sometimes a lots of short sentences can sound stilted. The key isn’t necessarily short sentences, just relevant sentences.

For example, instead of:

Try something like this:

“Remember to dry your car with chamois leather after washing. This will prevent unattractive water streaks and will leave your windscreen clear for optimum visibility.”

“Make sure after you’ve washed your car you dry it with chamois leather, or the water will leave unattractive streaks all over the windows, which can even lead to driving visibility problems.”

So, you need to try and keep each sentence accurate, to the point and concise. This is not always as easy as it sounds, because we don’t speak like that and almost never think like that. Don’t overstate things, but also don’t assume your readers know everything.
