DESCRIPTION
The content we put on our websites is an afterthought, lumped in with marketing that happens after a site is built. But a great content strategy starts during the wireframing process and continues long after a site design is finished. This deck is geared towards giving content strategists some practical tips to propose to your teams to make sure that you can carve out space and time in a project so that you can do your work well. It includes two real life examples AND some Super Mario references.
