Getting (web) content right! | Tweet |
Here's a great presentation from Donna Spencer (formerly Donna Maurer) discussing how to get content right.

The key things she picks on are:
- The reader is important - you're not
- Really think about what the reader wants to know
- Write as you speak - with a real voice
- Use images as well as words - more people are visual than verbal
It's scary, it's difficult to get approved at times and it involves change.
But our customers would find out what they needed faster and with less confusion and frustration.
