Default Writing for the web

Writing for the web is totally different to writing for printed matter. We tend to scan content on the web hunting for the information we're after, as opposed to reading word to word.

To maybe expand what is maybe being intended, visitors that are visiting a site are looking for something in particular and are not going to spend more then 10 seconds looking for it.

The Intended audience also needs to be considered. First time home buyers certainly have different needs then experienced real estate investors or luxury real estate buyers.
