The Internet is a crowded place and to have your website wins the heart, the content you are providing through your website is needed to be professional. Well… the term professional content may differ from one person to another but the basic rules of writing or developing a piece of content for your website still remain the same.

The high-quality engaging content on your website generates traffic and shows the credibility of your product and services. This is no secret that the attention span of an individual visiting your website is really small and the very first thing he visualizes is the design of the website, but attracting your client is not your only goal. After getting a satisfactory response in terms of attraction, the individual looks for the REAL services you provide to them.

Let’s say a customer wants to buy a wristwatch for his sister for the coming rakhi season. He enters your website and absolutely blown away with the products and options you provide. But now as he continues to search for that gorgeous piece of wristwatch he won’t get any description or come across some simple lines talking in technical terms which he doesn’t know. What do you think he will do next?

Exactly! He will go to another website and look for the wristwatch options available to them.

You placed every single aspect right, spend sums of money on the website development but still the potential client won’t convert.

This is why you need to nail the skill of content writing for your website. Here are some scientifically proven tips that will help you engage your potential client through your content style.

1. Know for whom you are writing for

Sounds simple? But it is one of the main reasons for the writers to fail in the job they assigned for. Let’s continue that watch example if he( the customer ) gets the exact word say glamorous, or luxury watches, he gets more interested in that particular piece of watch.

Why?

Because he has come with a mindset of buying a wristwatch and you just triggered that emotion by writing luxury, waterproof or sporty in the description of the watch. It suddenly creates a thought saying YES! THIS IS WHAT I NEED.

Sometimes you have to yourself trigger the desire for the product for example if you write that this edifice collection is for professional and can be a statement piece to your every outfit, he starts thinking of it and realizes the need for a wristwatch that goes with every outfit.

This is how you need to discover whom you are writing for or we say – know your audience.

2. Write simple

Writing simple and short sentences makes the reader concentrate more on the product rather than figuring out the meaning of your words. A good vocabulary is said to be the weapons of a writer but if you don’t know your respective audience than it spoils the whole interest that you developed.

There are professional tools that actually check your readability score. Your text readability is scored on the basis of educational level. These are three tools that can help you scan the readability of your text

• The readability test tool
• The readability calculator
• Microsoft word

3. The web is for everyone

If you are someone who writes that can be understood by a particular set of the audience then you need to work on your writing skills.

Remember your content is on the web page which implies that any educated person can click on it. It’s not necessary that only a specialized one will go for your website.

If still the topic compels you to involve some technical terms, you can use hyperlinks to increase the readability level of your content. Also, it is better to mention as subheading that says – technical specifications- for you to include all the technical specifications to your product in one place.          

4. Involve what’s suitable

Talking about the world of things but not involving that particular concept can make users leave your website very easily. For example, if you are providing a course for women who don’t have better relations with their mother-in-law. There are the two sentences for you… have a look

• How to take a stand in front of your mother in law and get your husband on your side!

                                                VS

• How to build communication with your mother in law without hurting her feelings

 No doubt the second sentence includes what’s needed isn’t it?

5. Involve multimedia

When it comes to engaging your readers, making them actually visualize the whole concept of content you are writing is another tip that adds to your bag. Involving multimedia options such as images, short yet crisp videos, GIFs, etc will add more interest to your content. Just like a chutney with samosa!  

Here are the top 5 tips for writing content for your website. Make sure you don’t forget to read your content multiple times for the polished professional touch.
