After a two month hiatus, Maya and I were finally able to head south for another meeting of Content Strategy Seattle. This time, instead of a round-table discussion or an informal Q&A, we were treated to a real, live presentation with a speaker and a slide show!
The speaker? Nick Finck of Blue Flavor. The topic? How Content Strategy Fits Into the User Experience.
Nick prefaced his talk with the disclaimer that he is not a content strategist; he's a User Experience designer and consultant. Luckily for us, there’s a lot of crossover between Information Architecture and Content Strategy.
Like UX, CS should occur throughout each phase of the website development process, as well as before and after.
Nick also shared an amazing graphic that he called the Mai Tai Diagram:
"Without the 'content,' there is no Mai Tai," Nick said. He added, "Without the content on your website, there is no website."
That's good enough for me.
