 By asking questions a hint of a real conversation is created and participants get a better idea of what you want to know. Of course you don't need to exaggerate: sociodemographic data can still be asked for in a very precise fashion. However, a friendly "Finally, we want to collect some information about yourself" surely doesn't harm.

 Avoid using too many emphases (bold, italic, underlined).
   * Bold **emphases** often look **unprofessional**, since they **negatively** influence the typeface.
-  * When many words are emphasised, the nature of an emphasis is lost. Limit yourself to __one__ word per parapgraph if you really want to emphasise something.

 Get to grips with the most important HTML tags.
   * A line break (<br>) and a new paragraph (<p>) are not the same. When using multiple paragraphs make sure they are paragraphs -- and not double line breaks.
-  * If you want to use a list, it is not enough putting hyphens at the beginning of a new line. A list that is properly indented can be created using the HTML tags <ul> and <li>.

 Do not make the typical typographic beginner mistakes -- make sure that your text looks like a professional survey.
   * Do not divide your text into too many paragraphs. If every full stop is followed by a new paragraph, your text is pulled apart.
-  * Avoid using different font types and sizes. Homogeneous texts look more professional. Once you have decided on a format for different kind of texts (e.g. bold and larger headings, underlined emphases), constrain yourself to use these formats.
