Question #3 – Part A) – Improve Readability

One specific technique that I used to improve readability in my revised version was I used bullet-points to describe the services that GimmieLinks has to offer for better scanability, rather than using long-complex sentences. The reasoning behind the strategy is that the F-pattern supports vertical scan down the left side, where the majority of readers scan that area in hopes of finding relevant and important information at a much faster pace. To test this strategy to see if it improves readability, I used a popular tool called Hemingway Editor, to rate my readability score. The score I achieved was Grade 8 readability, which is what I was aiming for, making this strategy a success!
