Although Internet is a visual medium, much like a television, it is far more closely related to the print medium where the written word holds the audience. However, there is just one single screen to retain interest of readers. Either you come to the point fast, else get mouse-dumped.
Keeping the need of interested web writers in mind, Unicorn Books has brought out a book ‘A Quick Guide to Web Writing’ written by a communication trainer, Jyotsna Atre. This 90-page book is priced Rs.125 and is available online.
The market is flush with software guides for web designers, html handbooks for programmers and manuals for webmasters.
Not one says how to write the contents on the web pages in a user-friendly way that are designed and programmed for search engines to show prominently.
This book gives quick tips and tricks on:
* Importance of hyperlinks
* Style rules for effective writing
* Layout and visual design techniques
* Technicalities of a style guide
Websites give information on a click. Anywhere, anytime, any subject. But for this to happen, someone has to write text on computers. Writing style for Internet is quite distinct from the print.
If you pick up the basics with this book, you could move into a career of web writing/designing that has immense opportunities for youngsters.
