Web vs. Written

This topic is too broad to be specific in making comparisons. Writing on a blog can be very informal, whereas the mission statement on a company website may be very formal. Typically, more in-depth messages must be written on paper. Conversely, electronic messages such as emails need to be as concise as possible. This is not limited to web writing, as is evident with memos. When transferring a written paper to the web, one of the most important things to consider is reader comprehension. This can be improved by removing any industry jargon, among other things.
