Scoping the Content by 4 Logo Designs

Contact us about your professional content development needs.

Web content should include only what the user needs or wants to read - nothing more. This scope may change as you start to get a clearer picture of what the web site will do and look like. In the project planning stage you need to determine the scope of the content through user research and discussion with the content expert(s). These questions will help you gather the information you need:

• What content is required for the site?
   
• Is each piece of content relevant to users (not just to the content expert)?
   
• Do the users really want or need this information?
   
• Are there existing resources that can be used?
   
• Do you have to pay for copyright?
   
• Has the content been developed for web delivery?
   
• What development does the content need?
   
• What content must be written or created especially for the site?
   
• Does the content require specific instructional, interactive or graphic design?
   
• Who is going to provide the content?
   
• Who will review and evaluate the content?
   
• Who will authorize changes to the content and content scope during development?
   
• Who will maintain the content after launch?
