Module 3 tasks - WWW standards

5 most important rules for web writing:

1. Keep the content clear and to the point.
2. Ensure the most important information is in the first 2 paragraphs as these get the most attention.
3. Avoid moving or animating text as still text is much easier to read.
4. Simplify the page design and include the main options in the top or side bar,
5. Make search forgiving of mispellings

I think a bit part of the research conducted in 1997 is still relevant. However the new research in 2005 relkating to literacy level is also valuble to keep in mind when writing for the web.
