content is placed, edit it.

making sentences brief and

meaningful.

Use of spaces and paragraphs

is must in order to keep the

flow of reading.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in

culpa qui

Content is incomplete until it is

marked under a headline.

The headline is important to

direct users towards the

paragraphs below.

Direct content is not attractive

enough for anyone to read.

Use Lists and Linking…

Lorem ipsum

do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et

dolore magna aliqua.:

- ea commodo consequat. Duis aute

irure dolor in reprehenderit

- Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non

proident, sunt in culpa qui

Lorem

Ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing

elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore

et

Dividing content into lists and

small paragraphs helps for a

quick read.

Pointers are the most helpful,

as it highlights the

features/characteristics of the

article and also attracts users.

Interlinking is important to

direct users to other pages of

the website. This keeps the

engagement intact.

Web page is about sharing

quality details in a single page.

Marking a layout keeps the

user engaged. A monotonous

layout can be least interesting

and hence the user should be

offered with links connecting to

other pages that might connect

with user interest.

The layout can be made more

interactive by embedding the

video links and images.

As per many researches state

that human eyes get attracted

to Images and Videos more

than just content.

Embedding images and videos

will help the brand to convey

the message through graphics.

Lastly, when the webpage is

ready to attract customer it is

important to involve user with

the brand.

This can be done using a call-

to-action. CTAs are very helpful

to direct user towards the

brand’s aim. CTA can direct

users to share contact details

for building a strong database

or to download a brochure or

eBook, etc.
