After discussing with a new client in a meeting today the content requirments as we move forward into a medium sized web design and development project, I have the following advice for people in the same scenario.

There are typically three scenarios under which content is made available to a web design and development firm during a website project.

1. The client provides and prepares all content
2. Both the client and the web development firm share in the content creation responsibilities
3. The web development firm either creates the content wholly themselves or outsources the content creation to a third party

It is important to not that web design and web development firms typically use sample content to scope the information architecture and complete the concept designs so clients should have some concept of their content ready.

Having said this, working with your web design and web development firm can really help in preparing the sample content and the following guidelines are relevant:

* The content should be short and straight the point,
* The content should not be overly verbose and should be directly related to your purpose,
* The content should utilise keywords and phrases that you wish to be found in search engines for

Ultimately, you should remember that in all scenarios, it is important to realise the burden that can be created by content production late in web development projects if it is not thought out and properly planned early in the project.

Please give me a call on 9978 88041 if you would like to discuss anything further.

Ask an experienced website designer which comes first - content or design. The answer will be clear and decisive; in the online world, an effective website’s design will always serve the content.

It’s true that a bad design can certainly put off potential visitors from a site while strong visuals and interactive design elements will certainly draw an audience. This is what makes designers valuable in what they do.

But in order to build that successful site, the customer mustfirst define the goals of the project and lay out the content they want to get out to the readers.

Imagine walking in the door to kick off a website design project, clear on the content you want to deliver but unsure of how you want the site to look. Certainly, the team will quickly be able to offer you ideas and examples from comparable projects that they believe would help get your ideas off the ground.

On the other hand, what if you walk in with ideas for colours and logo’s but no content? Without it, the meeting would soon grind to halt.

Bottom line? Whatever your website’s goal, you need to know what you want to present on the page before it can be designed to be a win for your goals.
