Creating Website Content can feel like the hardest thing EVER.

When I’m working with my website clients and we get to the content stage...

The biggest challenges seem to be

Where to start

What to write

How to sound like I know what I’m talking about without putting people to sleep, sounding like a know it all or confusing the pants off of my site visitor

When I’m working with my website clients and we get to the content stage they go through a rapid succession of emotions….

  • Panic “oh no I have to write the content”
  • Fear “I don’t know what to write/ say”
  • Overwhelm “ where do I start.”

No one goes – “can’t wait to write the content, I’ll have that for you by tomorrow…”

I get it – like anything we are uncertain about what is needed from us we procrastinate and then make the job way bigger in our minds than it really is.  

Part of my job as a website designer and strategist is to take my clients through this process and make it as easy as possible.

We break it down into:

  1. Who is the content for? Do you have more than one audience?
  2. What are your key messages?
  3. What pages do you need?
  4. What content is needed for these pages?
  5. Benefits, features, reviews, images etc etc
  6. What is the customer journey you want to take your customers on?
  7. Keeping it all aligned with the business brand
  8. Optimising the content so its found online

To create content for your website you need to have a complete picture of what we need to write for who, using what tone of voice in a way that convinces them to work with you! Easy. Ok not really BUT it is just a process and easy when you know-how.

This is why working with Comms Strategist, Angela Bensemann from Halo Communications and Brand Strategist Jane Comben from Pogo Design we created a step-by-step resource to help small businesses create awesome content for their websites.
