Creating Content

1 Have some content ready before you start building the website.
 It will be much easier to see how you website style looks if you have your actual
content instead of placeholders.
 You don't need too much content, but it will look much better in mockups if you
have some copy and original images.
 You don't necessarily need the body of an article, but you should at least have
actual headlines.

2) Remember that good content is more than text.

 The internet is much more than simple text websites.
 In order to stand out in your niche, you'll need a variety of different content types
to attract and retain visitors.
 Some possible content to keep in mind:
 o Pictures.
o Audio
o Video
o Streams (Twitter)
o Facebook integration
o RSS
o Content feeds

3 Commission a professional photographer.

 If you are including photos on your site, your initial impressions will be much better
with professional photography.
 A single good photo is worth more than twenty bad ones.

4 Write quality articles.

 The written content on your page will determine the vast amount of your web
traffic.
 While you don't need to worry too much about content creation at this point of the
design process, it doesn't hurt to start thinking about it, since you'll need content
on a regular basis once the site goes live.
 Beyond article content, there are written items that you will most likely use during
the website construction process. This could include contact information,
company names, or anything else that will be used in multiple places on the site.
