Does it work as well with web copy, however? It seems more like people scan most web site copy unless its something they are intensely researching. What are your thoughts on this?

Not enough people talk about these kind of "artistic" subtleties. But it's the little things like this that truly separate the pros from the wannabes. Nice post.

Would love to see some business examples with rhythm. Especially for B2B. Using storytelling in marketing is great for engagement. For visuals think about what your prospect wants to accomplish. What success looks like to them. Then paint that visual picture for them. Thanks for the post! Great post. Would love to see some business examples with rhythm. Especially for B2B.

Anyone who aims to be a better writer should be conscious of rhythm at some level. My best writing usually comes when I'm speaking from the heart and "conversing" with my words. When I do that the rhythm takes care of itself. I think it’s great you guys talk about the finer points of writing technique.
