While there has been a clear shift towards the "less-is-more" school of design (and copywriting), the Web is in no shortage of sites that shun the notion altogether. If you're a believer that there's something special about long-copy Web design and online marketing, then read on to discover some important site design tips and techniques.

There are hundreds of examples of long-copy designs. We will look at two today to identify techniques that you might want to employ or at least consider for your own deployments. Other long-copy websites follow pretty much the exact same formula. We will also follow up this post in the future with some long-copy Web design trends.

If you're a company considering publishing an API, taking a look at the successes of others might encourage you to complete that project. iContact for example just announced the winners of its API Challenge, a content for partners and customers that asked them to build an integration between third party apps and iContact. The result, in addition to greater exposure for their service, was a lot of new mashup technology that can be used by the greater Web community (not just iContact clients).

Let's review a few other great API's for your next website or application now:
