After designing over 750 websites for everyone from startups to Fortune 500 companies, I’ve picked up a thing or two about what really works. Spoiler alert: people don’t read websites the way you think. They’re not poring over every word; they’re skimming for key points, scanning for images, and forming snap judgments based on the first impression. If your site is a wall of text, you’ve already lost them. Write for skimmers, use short paragraphs, and make important points easy to find.
Another biggie: clarity over cleverness. Businesses often write website copy like they’re drafting a novel, lots of words, little meaning. Cut it down, then cut it in half again. Visitors will judge your professionalism based on how your site looks and feels. If it takes more than three seconds to load, you’ve lost most of them. Fancy animations might impress designers, but they usually just slow things down. Keep it simple, functional, and focused on your audience, not your personal preferences.
