Why is Content Important?
Content—whether text, images, or forms—shapes the user’s experience on your site. When you need specific information, you typically turn to Google or the company’s website. If the company has done its job well, your experience should be fast, streamlined, and straightforward.
Content isn’t just about what’s on the page but also how the information is conveyed. As you work through this guide, remember that your goal is to make your content accessible, digestible, direct, and dynamic.
Accessible
Digestible
Each page is broken out in bite size chunks, with supporting imagery, or symbols
Direct
Users can understand the voice, and call to action, and there are no barriers to their destination
Dynamic
Content is a living thing. It develops overtime, and needs revamps. Remember to test, and then test again
