Web vs Print 2 – Typos
May 12th, 2009
Designing flyers, leaflets, postcards and business cards can be a risky business – a single typo, missed by the designer and the client signing it off goes to print, suddenly you have 10,000 business cards that are completely unusable – they have to be reprinted with the cost that comes along with it. Even worse – the client could of started to give out the Business Cards to their customers – who could of spotted the typo, and as a result their first impression may not be positive.
Now, online – a website is designed, built and uploaded to the world wide web. A typo is spotted after being published – within a couple of minutes it can be amended, saved and republished with little cost and hardly any time taken. Now, some initial visitors may have seen the initial typo, but since the update all visitors will see the correct spelling and those early visitors who come back to the website will see the amended version.
