Text Tips:

Having incorrectly spelled words or the wrong word on you web site it one of the worse mistakes you can make. It will show that you are sloppy and make you look unprofessional. If your web editor has a spell checker use it, if it is not a very good one type up all your content in a good word processor that has a good spell checker, and do all you’re writing from there. Then re-read your content, does it make cense? Is it clear and to the point? Have you left anything out?

Is your content grammatically correct? Unless you are an English teacher you are probably going to want it have it checked with a software grammar checker. Again this probably isn’t built into your website editor but most good word processors do have them so use it.

Next thing to look at is Jargon your site is bound to have some inside terms and terminology that the average browser to your site will have no clue about so have a jargon file somewhere on your site in order to educate your visitors.

The there is the rule about the three letter acronym better known as the (TLA). Abbreviations of this form have crept into just about every corner you can think of. I think they are fine to use, but the first time you are going to use on your page spell the whole thing out first followed by the abbreviated version in parentheses. After that it is fine to use them throughout your document.

Then when you are finally happy with it get a second opinion. It makes no cense to play the role of both writer and editor of your work, so don’t. A second set of eyes is the best way to flesh out mistakes you would never notice. Once you are happy with your work go ahead and put it into your content page happy with the knowledge that you have good copy on your site.
