Uninformative texts : a web page must be exhaustive. It must satisfy the reader, who will thus be encouraged to return to the site. A text that has no substance, that goes on for 300 words when 20 would be enough, is a text made up of chatter, which has no use for the reader. Non-original texts : we are in the era of copy-paste. Of reworking the information taken here and there, reshaping it and thus creating new contents. No. This creates non-original content. And the texts taste like they have already been read. While they have to smell new. Texts that are too short : brevity rewards, summarizing is good for writing, but a page of 100 words goes nowhere. We are in a network that contains billions of web pages. Skimpy texts will never emerge in that wild pile of information.
Prolixity : in the same way, a text that is too long tires the reader. I would say that up to 1500 words can be read on a page, but I have found articles that exceeded 5000. No one has time online to read such a long text. Very long texts must be divided. Off topic : always remember to stay on track with your topic. Introducing concepts into a text that are not part of that context causes inattention and disorientation in the reader. How to avoid errors in writing texts Preparation is the Special Data basis of good content. An article, like a web page, must first be thought of, designed and then written in order to offer the reader complete information on the topic it deals with. During the writing phase, that theme must always be kept under control, to avoid the risk of providing useless information. Don't bore the reader with excessively long texts and don't dismiss them with two or three sentences. Above all, don't copy other people's texts.
Take inspiration, but don't copy. Errors in the typography and layout of a text Scrolling text : there are still those who use this attraction technique that was fashionable in the early days of the web. Yet it is easy to understand why chasing a text that wanders across the page is not easy to understand. I've even seen bouncy text... Text placed like this distracts the reader. Text in a monoblock : web pages that appear as a compact set of words, which would scare away the most avid reader. The text needs space and the reading needs to breathe. Don't scare your readers with pages like this. Very small text : sometimes you have to use a microscope to read a web page. We agree that with the browser and the keyboard we can increase the size of the characters, but a text that uses 10 pixel characters could still push the reader away. Don't subject your users to an eye exam. Text entirely in italics or bold : There are those who write entire web pages in italics or entire sentences in bold. Such texts are not readable. Italics and bold have a specific function. Abuse disturbs reading. You can't emphasize an entire page or make it bold.
