How do you feel about reading this text?
This might be a perfectly acceptable way
to write a research paper or novel but
websites aren’t for reading. Sorry to
break it to you. People don’t want to
read your website. They want to find
your information. They’re on a mission
and all of the extra text you’re putting on
the screen is getting in the way of letting
them accomplish their goals.
