Although it may be a bit similar, writing for printing media is different from writing for digital media. Written content could only be published as physical print, and was therefore static and unchangeable. Today, content can be published online and is in constant flux. As technology has shifted the way information is delivered, readers’ needs have changed, and writers must think about content in a completely new way.
When writing for the web, using plain language allows users to find what they need, understand what they have found, and then use it to meet their needs. It should also be actionable, findable, and shareable. The point is to understand how what you are writing fits into the overall content strategy, what the content lifecycle entails, and who is involved in the process.
It’s important to target your audience when writing for the web. By knowing who you are writing for, you can write at a level that will be meaningful for them. Use the personas you created while designing the site to help you visualize who you are writing for.
