Every website needs a platform of good content to start generating interest before it can even think about converting leads. While it might seem like a website is a whole new world of writing, coding, and design, the best sites are rooted in a foundation of good user experience. A good (or great) user experience always includes the ability to write effectively and communicate with your website’s visitors.
Good website content revolves around defining the Five W’s and One H; Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How.
First, let’s start with the essentials of good content.
The Who, What, Where.
Who
This is usually covered in the standard “About Us” page on your website.
What
Typically, a company’s product or services are the easiest descriptions of what you do.
Where
The “Contact Us” page gives both a physical address and trade operating area. It should also let people know how you can be found online and reached by email and phone.
Now think beyond those essential items and look at these key content items. Most are things that you can start today but can take a little more depth.
