It's useful to keep these principles in mind when writing and designing text on web pages. Some things that resonated with me: "it's extremely important to structure your longform writing with headers, short paragraphs, and other content design best practices." Oh yes. Also: "if there's information critical to an action... place it before the text field or action button." Totally agree. Also, "try device-agnostic words that describe the action, irrespective of the interface, like choose, select, view" (Microsoft keeps telling me to 'double tap' when I'm using a keyboard, both confusing me and making me think of mobster movies).
