Put the important stuff first

Quick tip of the week: start your web pages with all the important information.

You can do this by:
  • starting with a few lines summarising the rest of the article
  • using a bullet point list at the top to cover the key points
  • putting all calls to action right at the top (eg 'buy now', 'book online')
  • listing important dates and prices before the lengthy description.
If your readers are in a hurry, get distracted halfway through or don't realise there's more to see, they won't miss the bits most important to them, and to you!
