Content is an essential element in your web presence. You want people to visit your site, and when they come, they are coming for a reason. If all that is there is a fancy graphical design, they will leave as fast as they came. In addition, they will likely not be back.
We think the reasons for needing content within your site is easy to grasp, so let us look at content from the design level.
Delivery of content to your designer should ideally occur before they even begin working on the layout of your page. At this point in the project, don't worry about providing totally proofed or even absolutely organized information, the text and photos you provide can and likely will be altered during the design process (Website Content: Part 2 will cover this). The reason your content is required up-front is that your designer should be building your site to wrap around your content. Your content should not be forced to fit into an arbitrary design, which is the case if the site is completely framed out prior to content delivery (or a downloaded template web design is used).
If you are paying for a custom designed website, be sure to take full advantage of your designer’s services. At Webgio, we discuss the scope of the project with you and give you suggestions as to the type of content your site should display. We research your business and offer suggestions that will put you ahead of the competition while drawing in new visitors and keeping them on your site.
