Crafting Content for

Scannability

Perhaps you’ve heard the term “snackable” when speaking about the size and scale of content? If not, that’s ok. Because, there’s a new term to describe the best practice of writing and styling content that readers can consume at-a-glance: Scannable. 

Web visitors scan the pages they click through searching for clues, keywords, and calls to action. Their goal is to get in, find what they need, and get out. Therefore, their focus may jump around a page while searching. We can use certain tools to support the scanning reader, which helps them find the information they need more efficiently, instead of requiring them to sift through dense blocks of copy or content. 

Here are a few ways to ensure your copy is scannable and easy-to-absorb:
