The biggest
challenge for a web content developer is to attract the visitor to read the
content. Those who visit the websites tend to scroll through a page to see if
it has the information he or she is looking for. So, it is important for the
content developer to present the information in such a way that the visitor is engrossed
in the content right from the first paragraph.
To the Point Content - Well before start of writing, the
writer of the web page should realize - What is the information that the
readers expect to get from this page? It is a good idea to put yourself in the
readers position to get a clear picture. Once this is understood, hit the note,
right from the beginning. No high sounding words and no elaborate introduction.
Launch into the topic of the page in the first sentence of the first paragraph
itself. This will give the visitor a feel that the site is serious about the
business and it's a no nonsense place. This first impression is surely going to
fetch some time to the visitor in order to read the content with full
concentration.
Attractive Presentation - It is not just about the content
or information. It is also about how you present the information to the reader.
Studies have shown, that 79% of the web users scan through a page to get what
they are looking for, instead of reading word by word. [Ref:

content in a manner that eases the process of their scanning. To grab the
attention of the reader, bulleted points, color formatted text or words, are
very much effective. This type of presentation helps the reader to scan the
page and easily find the topic he is looking for.
These are
some of the tips to capture the audience right from the beginning of the page.
But be sure to keep each and every paragraph of a web page equally interesting,
informative and error free as the reader can always skip to another site!
