Website Content
The only way to get great Web content is to
have your staff develop the
content for the website first. But, if this is not
possible, let your Web Marketing Designer help you write
your website for each Webpage of your website.
Writing for the Web
If you want your printed material from your
brochures or other forms of advertisements or marketing
material transferred to your website, the printed
information will need to be revised and rewritten for the
Web. Therefore, if you want great Web content
and great brochures, you
will have to develop two sets of content.
Writing for the Web and writing for printed
marketing material is completely different. When writing for
the Web, the content is written for the consumer and robots.
When writing offline for traditional media, linear content
is developed. If your website is not specifically written
for the Web, you will end up with substandard Web content.
The Front and Back Side of Each Webpage
Web Designers not only write content on the
front side of each Webpage, they write on the back side of
each Webpage too. On the back side (or the code side where
the html code is), there are three basic meta tags that
information is written into (ie. title, description, and
keywords). Web designers and developers should know what is
allowable information to insert into these tags. Knowing how
to write this type of information is paramount to how each
website or Webpage gets listed with the search engines and
how the listings actually appear.
