Good instructions for text changes
By adopting this straightforward format, clients can directly read their replacement text, reducing the need for revisions due to visualisation discrepancies.
This approach minimises misunderstandings for developers, allowing them to concentrate more on essential tasks such as testing and SEO that are affected with each change.
Simply tell us the page, the whole sentences (or paragraph) to replace followed by the replacement sentence (or paragraph).
Here is an efficient example of website changes:
Bad instructions for text changes
These are bad instructions that WILL lead to errors from developers.
Here are some inefficient examples:
- Change 15 to 18 on Jane’s profile.
- Take out the word Maximum.
- Remove the text about the work experience.
- Change “as” to “and” on the paragraph about forests.
Which page? There are two Janes, which one? Multiple paragraphs mention work experience, which one? There are 14 instances of “as” in two paragraphs that mention forests on two different pages. Which one? Where?
The time it takes the developer to figure out complex instructions will be counted against the client.
It’s highly unsatisfying for the developer to spend 30 minutes figuring out a task that should have taken her 5 minutes.
Examples of Efficient instructions for image changes
