Guide Review - Net Words by Nick Usborne
It is often easy to overlook the writing on a Web site. It's almost as if there is so much of it that beyond checking for spelling and grammar errors, most developers just ignore it. But writing is integral to nearly every site on the Web. If your writing isn't strong your customers will not stay around and you won't make sales or generate income. This book shows you how to create powerful copy to create powerful sites. I especially like the ten simple steps to get quick wins with your copy - at the back of the book. It puts together everything you learn from the entire book.
