I found that the introduction regarding the fact that “most consumers don’t read website content” very interesting. I have very little wording in my website and mostly graphics that load quickly. As they say “a picture is worth a thousand words”. It just backs up how I feel about sites that blather on and on and one doesn’t really get anything out of it.
Thank you for sharing that important fact along with the others from the 10 tips.
