Content Strategy Matters
Monday, June 8th, 2009
Why is content king? Because it’s the reason people come to your site: to get information.
But way too often, content is almost an afterthought in creating a Web site. The content creators are brought in after information architects, designers, developers and site owners create and approve a shell that needs to be filled.
By letting the content strategist be part of the team from the start, you ensure the site meets the needs of visitors and site owners. You’re also able to set editorial standards early on in the project, which allows your writers, producers and editors to create content that reflects your brand’s voice and tone.
Effective content strategy is simply good communication.
