Aside from adding relevant content, it is important to present it in an organized way, with uniform formatting that looks professional and is easy on the eyes.

No images

Some pages use images, others don’t. Without at least one image, the page will look to wordy and hard to read. Aside from images, it is important to use bullet points, lists, diagrams, and/or summaries.

They not only to break down content and make it easy to read but also to allow users to skim through and get the information that they need.

Images are not related to the content
