Small type is difficult to read because of the resolution of the type's display. Sentences fill the width of the monitor, and often are too wide. The writing style is differs. This may seem like a superficial treatment of subject matter, and it can be. However, keep in mind that millions of websites compete to deliver information, and if your website is written in a clear, direct manner, you will succeed in delivering information.
Interminable text goes on and on demanding perseverance to get to the good parts.
Rather, the web can be a very effective way of delivering information that is printed , and then read. Often little ditsy graphics blinking and bouncing across the screen distract the reader. Confusing images mislead the browser, confusing where to go in the website for more information, or leaving you in a limbo of irrelevant information. Often graphics take an inordinate time to download, and a long download time yields impatience.
