In
this article I will explain the process of converting a website with about 15
web pages into a website with 5 web pages.
A website is nothing but just a collection of number of web pages served
from a single web domain. Whereas a webpage is a document combined with Hypertext
Markup language (HTML). Every single webpage is accessed with the help of
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that gives the webpage privacy and security.
A website can be accessed through a web address that is known with the name of
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and every single page in a website holds a
unique web address.
For
converting a website with large number of pages into a website with lesser
number of pages, one have to evaluate which things are most important that
needs to be included first inside the website. Evaluation of a website
involves, working carefully through the pages on your existing website,
identifying all types of content which are standard pages, photo galleries,
resource pages, etc. In addition to that one should have a close look at areas
that need special attention.
A
lengthy content doesn’t always mean to be useful and informative rather it can
be tiresome to read. On the other hand, writing content in limited words
doesn’t mean to skip the informative points. Your piece of writing should be as
short as possible while giving information to the target audiences. How is it
possible? You are writing content not epic. Always bear in mind that people
will not like to waste their valuable time on the lengthy content. It can be
done in very simple ways given below:
Information comes First:
Most
of the websites forget to highlight the information rather they are relied on
the colorful details. It makes difficult for the visitor to locate “What is it
about?” amidst the exaggeration. Moreover, it leads the website to house the
lengthy content. Remember the golden
rule: Keep the content of your website to the point.
Never Repeat the Information:
You
don’t need to mention each and every time that you are a leading burger outlet
in New Jersey. That not only increases the length of web content but also eats
up the spaces for other useful details.
Nothing but Five Ws:
You
will extract the content with good length without anything extra by using the
basic information and functions of the company in its website. Arrange all
information in various related segments on a website.
Omit Useless Details:
It
is no worth of keeping useless details on your website. It’s better to keep
your services and how you manufacture rather than giving testimonials of users.
Choose Word that can replace whole
sentence:
If
you know the art of saying more by writing less then you can skip this point.
You should use words that can replace the part from the sentences and make it
possible to remove certain lines from the paragraph. It saves you from over
explaining and keeps the web content length very short. Remove the words that
are obstacle between to the clarity of the content.
Pictures for Words:
You
may hear that pictures speak thousand words then it is useless to write
thousand words. You can use some related pictures to give information in
concise way instead of writing those lengthy paragraphs.
Use Passive Voice less as Possible:
Active
Voice: Around 180 nations play football
Passive
Voice: Football is played by around 180 nations.
The
sentence written in active voice is short yet clear than written in passive
voice.
