Unlike traditional writing or photograpy such as National Geographic, the web has created a new way of presenting and using both.
Web Writing
Rules for writing have been transformed for web writing.
One sentence paragraphs are acceptable. Few paragraphs should be longer than three sentences. No sentence should have more than 15 words.
This is because we tend to scan read on the web. White space makes it easier to read. Shorter sentences likewise make it easier to scan the information.
Ideally, the information is also inverted. The point or conclusion is often at the top of the work. Then the relevant or supporting arguments are provided after.

You may have heard the joke about someone asking if you have read a certain magazine. You say no but you did enjoy the pictures.

Some sites have increased traffic by as much as 1000 percent or more simply changing to this kind of information presentation.
