Book description
You know that web content is the text, images, audio, and video
in your website or web application—but how do you ensure that
your content is truly effective? Does Your Content Work addresses
this key question, illustrating the importance of applying content
evaluation as a constant assessment of how well your content meets
your goals. In this book, content strategist and user experience
expert Colleen Jones explains the essential process of evaluating
whether your web content is working.
Follow along and you will:
Learn how investing time and effort in evaluating your content pays off in tangible ways.
Explore the top three action items to evaluate your content’s effectiveness: asking specific questions, getting access to analytics, and launching a content-focused survey.
Walk through the content evaluation process: asking questions based on your goals, getting answers with the right data mix, and interpreting and acting on the answers.
"Improving content quality in large organizations can feel like an
uphill battle against processes, data, and operational silos. How,
for instance, do you show business partners you’re
“getting content done” while affording your creative
teams the perspective they need to do content right? With the
prioritized, action-oriented methods she’s laid out
in Does Your Content Work?, Colleen Jones simplifies the
science of content evaluation in ways that enable
the art of content to thrive."
