Improve your pages’ readability

There is math behind a text’s readability.

I am not going to go into the details on word length, sentence length, Flesch readability score, etc.. here.

What counts is that you do not want to loose your readers by making your pages hard to understand.

And I have just found a nice tool that analyses your text’s readability and even provides helpful advice on what to change.

Enjoy,

Your Sightless Simian

    Hey emp,
    That’s a neat tool you found there. I ran some of my landing page texts through it with interesting results. :)

    Yes, I got some interesting (and useful results as well).
    I am currently rewriting some of my texts.

    Ha!

    Funny thing is, that looking at it now, it would make sense to break that sentence up.
