A good Headline will allow the user to skim through the page, letting them decide whether they want to read the paragraph(s) or not. Paragraphs on the web should be direct, to the point and contain about three sentences.

For all pages in your project, write your:

  1. Headlines – By breaking your paragraphs up with meaningful headlines, you will allow the user to skim the page to find exactly what they are looking for.
  2. Paragraphs – Successful paragraphs will be direct, to the point and contain about three sentences that answer the users questions.

Requirements:

  • This shall be written in your Content Outline, so your team and Client can easily view and understand.
  • The site you pick must contain at least six pages.
  • This shall be printed out and turned in as your Headlines & Paragraphs assignment according to the class schedule.

This portion of the Premium Design Works website is written by Mike Sinkula and dedicated to the Web Design & Development students at Seattle Central Community College.

    My hope is that you will use the “Headlines & Paragraphs” assignment as a first draft. You will then refine things in your “Sentences & List Items” assignment.

  2. Heya
    Say, in web160, what’s the difference between assignment 6) Headlines & Paragraphs and assignment 7) Sentences & List Items? Is 7 just the refined version of 6?
    (obviously I’m just getting caught up).
    Thanks
