Web Content Writer: Short and Sweet
Writing from the web is in no way similar to writing for print. As a Web content writer, you know that your site’s visitors don’t read, they scan. This means there should be plenty of white space on the page with subheadings as well as bullet points. It takes a little experience to become familiar with web writing and to write for the web effectively. You’ll need to write stripped down prose, which manages to pack a lot into a few words. It’s never effective to try to convert print text to web text without considerable revision. Usually the web content will look completely different from the print it was taken from.
