A Champion for Good Writing on the Web
byWhen was the last time somebody asked you to check out the writing on a Web site? I’m going to guess it’s been awhile. But it’s a whole different story when talking about the visual design of a site, in fact you can find sites dedicated to visual design like CSS Vault and CSS Beauty. During a time where everybody shouts “Content is King” there are not a lot of sites doing anything to highlight great writing, until now that is. Garrent Dimon recently launched Notable Words in an effort to bring to light good examples of writing. I’m particularly pleased with his first postings because he included Daring Fireball which is one site I am always happy to see has something new to read.
Good writing can provide your customers with a valued and relevant source of information as well as help your site move ahead in search engine rankings. While having a great design to wrap your content in is necessary, don’t forget you also need to have great content as well to attract and keep visitors to your site.
