This is sometimes caused by an obvious misstep, like a ham-fisted product reference or an out-of-place call-to-action. But most of the time, the signs are subtle and more insidious, providing a glimpse through the masquerade to the sales engine underneath.

A good portion of my time every week is spent reading and changing sentences like this: “The festival runs May 21-28 with the gates open every day from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.”.

Sentences are supposed to flow, almost like live conversations.

Behind every great website or application is a lot of coding. When that code is heavy or overly complex, it can slow down website speed and increase bounce rates. This is why a lot of marketers are excited about a new user interface from.NET called Blazor. The name is a combination of “browser” and the.NET markup syntax Razor, for those familiar with it.
