Don’t be *that business*

Words have the power to make or break a business.

As I touched upon in my last post, a Web site is often the basis for a customer’s first impression of the company. Misuse of words, misspellings and poor grammar should not be taken lightly. What’s more, weak or uninteresting copy is a liability. No one wants to spend time on a Web site only to feel like you’ve wasted their time.

Quality Web site copy is:

  • Relevant to the consumer/reader
  • Informative
  • Accurate
  • Simple
  • Creative (when necessary)
  • Organized
Never underestimate the value of a copy-editor. He or she can help you think outside the box and avoid a potentially humiliating gaff.  Don’t get caught being *that business*!
