Your Web Content
What drives people to your Website? What keeps them coming back?
Content is King!
Your content attracts and retains visitors; visitation directly influences your customer base. The term “customer” applies to all Websites, whether your site sells commercial products and services or not.
Web Content Skills
The skills required to produce effective Web content are:

- Meld the organization’s business needs with the information needs of your customers
