  4. Creating a Bulleted List

Bulleted Lists are an important piece of writing for the web, because people scan a page and can easily understand content when it's broken up into blocks of information.

Bulleted Lists are an important piece of writing for the web because people scan a page and can easily understand content when it's broken up into blocks of information.

When writing content for the web, it's important to remember that readers scan a page and they might miss important information if the content is only written in blocks/paragraphs of text.

When writing information that includes a list of three or more items, break those items out into a bulleted list.

How to Create a Bulleted List

  • Click the bulleted list icon in the toolbar

  • Start typing the list
  • To create a nested list, use the "tab" button on your keyboard to indent and change the bullet:

  • Click Preview Draft or Submit

Avoid a Wall of Text on Your Page

Large chunks of text on a webpage are daunting to read.

We scan for information on a webpage, and our eyes are drawn to bullet lists.

Bullet lists can be used for:

  • Calling out important information
  • Using space efficiently
  • Requirements or materials needed
