Content is why people visit your website. Period. So why is quality content so easily discounted? Why do we neglect this critical website element that we rely on to attract, inform, engage, and retain site visitors? Answer: content is massive, political, and time-consuming. A college website contains thousands of pages with limited content contributors, editors, and managers, all with different perspectives and priorities. Web content strategy is an essential discipline that author Kristina Halvorson defines as "the practice of planning for the creation, delivery, and governance of useful, usable content." In this session, learn how to implement and maintain effective content that drives marketing, engages users, and increases website conversions.
