How will you convert a 15 page website into a 5 page website?

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.
