 We know our content is poor
 quality, but we don’t know what
 doesn’t work. We have
 assumptions, but we don’t have
 any data to support them.
“
                        #meetcontent



 We’re starting a website redesign
 project and I’m being asked about
 content requirements and resource
 needs. How do I begin to answer
 these questions?
“
                        #meetcontent



 I’m living in the wild west!
 Everyone and their mother is
 editing and adding content to our
 website—wait, who changed that
 header to Comic Sans? We need
 an editorial process, but I don’t
 know the scope of problems to be
 solved?
“
                         #meetcontent



 I’ve been put in charge of web
 content and I’m trying to
 understand how our site is
 organized. It seems logical on the
 surface, but when I dig deeper it
 gets confusing fast. I can’t make
 sense of it.
You don’t know
your web content
until you audit it.

 Sampling doesn’t lead to a perfect
 picture of your content. But a
 sample audit can provide useful
 information to support arguments
 for funding, make the case for
 content work, or demonstrate
 progress.

     Lessons from the trenches
     •   Focus on the most important info
         (don’t gather info you don’t need)
     •   Estimate 6-12 pages and hour to audit
         (depends on the list of criteria)
     •   Take frequent breaks
     •   Review your work
