- the information should be very clear and straightforward,
- it’s important to respect font size and space between paragraphs,
- use clear pictures to help the reader to relate to the info you are giving)
- when explaining something (or having a hyperlinked word, make sure the link opens on a new tab, so the person doesn’t leave the page they were before).
