If your web copy is boring or intimidating, you can count on your site visitors not reading it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Technique and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Empathy\">Empathy<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing solid web copy takes a bit of technique and putting yourself in your reader\u2019s shoes. Empathize with your reader, and really try to view your site from their perspective. As you\u2019re looking at your audience\u2019s wants and needs, look at your own web copy and consider whether it could be improved with these 5 tips:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Spruce up your \u201cAbout\u201d page. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your \u201cAbout\u201d page shouldn\u2019t be a life story &#8212; but it also shouldn\u2019t be a few simple sentences from your LinkedIn bio! Your \u201cAbout\u201d page should tell your audience who you are, what drives you to do the work that you do, and how that passion helps you provide the best service in your industry. Write with concision and passion on this page: it is your opportunity to really connect with your visitor on a personal level and show them why you, specifically, are worth their time and attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Break up big blocks of text. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The attention spans of readers online are getting shorter and shorter. So when your reader is faced with a big block of text, they just keep scrolling. Break up big blocks of text with bullet points, headers, and images to keep the page visually appealing and avoid losing your readers focus with wordiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure your contact information is easily accessible. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your visitors won\u2019t contact you if they have to spend five minutes trying to find your contact information. Place links to your contact page generously throughout your web copy, and make sure your \u201cContact\u201d page is clearly marked and easily accessible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Write with your audience in mind. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know who you are as a business, but you need to use your web copy to convey to your audience that you have the solution(s) to their problem(s). What is your audience looking for? What are their pain points? Their main objections? Focus on showing clearly, with your web copy, what you offer and why that is of benefit to your audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Use SEO wisely. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keywords are important but writing with keywords as your focus is both obvious and distracting. It\u2019s a good method to include pertinent keywords throughout the text and in your headers, but not to an excessive degree. In other words, don\u2019t force keywords to fit in places where they simply don\u2019t sound natural.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Blue Edge Business Solutions Offers Web Design &amp; Development<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We at Blue Edge understand that a great website is the key to conveying your message in a way that resonates with your audience.
