Categories and Navigation
Categories are essential to make sure that
your information is filed in the right place.
The web site uses navigation categories to
index and display information.
It is important to understand what categories
your content should be given as related
content (FAQs, Downloads etc) will be
automatically joined together.
Guidance will be provided to help you place
your content appropriately
Metadata
Metadata is used to ‘label’ information
Metadata is simply relevant keywords
It is used to describe the information so that other web sites,
search engines and the website itself understands what the
information is.
It is easy to do!
Metadata can change the chances of searchers finding your
content
It must be done for ALL content
Preparing Your Content
Write content in Word
● complex content might need other tools
Don’t spend too much time formatting
● as all formatting can be done in the Jadu Control Centre
Be brief and concise where you can
Give yourself time
Always edit existing content in the Control Centre
Writing for the Web
How do you read a webpage?
Not the same as reading a book / magazine
Tendency to ‘scan’ content
Punchy page titles
Break up content into ‘bite-size’ paragraphs
Use bulleted lists
Simplify for understanding
Start with the conclusion
Current, accurate and credible
The Content Loop
How do you keep visitors coming back?
How can you ‘enhance’ your content?
Ask yourself…
● Are there any web pages either on your site or others that are relevant to
your topic?
● Are there any frequently asked questions relating to your topic?
● Are there any related downloads?
● Should there be a link to an online application / feedback form?
