2. Agenda
•
•
•
Using the core model to prioritize content in a responsive
website
How content is enhanced by working collaboratively and
interdisciplinarily
Amazing results!
14. Why did we need a new
website?
•
•
•
The problem
Overlapping content with
no links
Content did not addressing
the users’ key questions
Difficult to navigate and
not prioritized
15. Why did we need a new
website?
•
•
•
The problem
Overlapping content with
no links
Content did not addressing
the users’ key questions
Difficult to navigate and
not prioritized
•
•
•
How did that happen?
Too many stakeholders
40-45 people were working
in decentralized silos
6 year old website with a
rigid information
architecture and equal
weight to all sections
16. The
process
1. Finding goals, KPIs and
target audiences
2. Identifying top user tasks
3. Developing a concept and
tone of voice
4. The Core Model: Bringing
goals, user tasks and the
concept together
5. Design, content and
development
6. Governance and
development
20. Our goals
•
•
•
In general
Reducing the number of
people who get cancer

35. Hypothesis:
The users ask Google and not all of the answers
they get are trustworthy. What does the diagnosis
entail? What are my chances? What did the doctor
really say? How do I avoid getting the same
disease as my mother?
The answers exist, and behind all the statistics,
doctor’s coats and bureaucracy there are human
beings wanting to help.
36. Answer:
Knowledge kills fear. The Cancer Society’s website
is a natural authority on the field. You get verified
answers that are easy to understand. You can see
who says what. It’s not a facless institution, but
competent professionals with a name and a face.
38. The challenge
•
•
•
•
Users were looking for content that supported goal 1 & 2:
Helping patients, their friends and family
Increasing knowledge about cancer and prevention
But none of the user tasks supporting goal 3 & 4 came
up on top:
Increased self service
Increasing donations and members
48. A lot of your users
will never visit any
other page
49. A lot of your users
will never visit any
other page
Googled “lung cancer”
50. A lot of your users
will never visit any
other page
Googled “lung cancer”
Link on Facebook about cancer research
51. A lot of your users
will never visit any
other page
Googled “lung cancer”
Link on Facebook about cancer research
75% of the
traffic to The
Norwegian
Cancer Society
from Google
52. A new approach:
The Core Model
•
•
•
A lot of your users will never see your home page. They get there
via Google, social media and links
We have to stop using hierarchy and categories as our starting
point
We need to start with the answers to your users need, and work
from there
60. Using the
core model
•
•
The core
•
•
Core pages are where your
users solve their task - and
you reach your objectives.
Good ways in and making
sure there are no blind
alleys, becomes more
important than structure
and hierarchy
The core is the same on all
devices
Letting the user finish her
task first, lets us better
guide her next actions
66. Treatment of cancer
Symptoms of cancer
Cancer
treatment,
symptoms, and
prevention was

80. We used the core model
to overcome the fact
that fundraising wasn’t
a top task
81. The paradox of choice
The idea that more choices actually lead to fewer
actions.

Thanks
to a lot of
lobbying by
@EirikHafver

Signed mandate from
management
Overview of all content
Knows user tasks and goals
Working collaboratively
and interdisciplinary
Editors know their field
and know how to write
The departments no longer
own the content - they’re
sources
96. –
We have five questions that
we use to find out whether
new content should be
added to the website or not.
Marte Gråberg
Webeditor of kreftforeningen.no
97. 5 questions
The Cancer
Society ask
about
(new)
content
1. Who’s the target audience?
2. Does this content cover
some need or task for this
target audience? Which?
3. Does this content cover a
strategic goal for The
Cancer Society? Which?
4. Describe how you imagine
this content will be found
and used by the user
5. Why is the website the
right channel for this
content?
103. –
More people than earlier
contact the cancer line, but
now they’re more informed
when they contact us

from our pages, especially

We’re working differently...
