How to prepare content for a corporate website

Start with page purpose

For each page, define the audience, question, desired action and evidence available. A service page, company page and educational article have different jobs and should not repeat the same introduction.

Create a simple page map before writing. It reveals missing information and prevents several people from preparing overlapping text.

Collect expert knowledge

Subject experts can provide facts, examples, process details and answers to customer questions. One editor should then organise this material into a consistent structure and tone.

Interview notes are often more useful than asking experts to write perfect marketing copy. Their responsibility is accuracy; the editorial process creates clarity.

Use evidence responsibly

Claims about experience, results, guarantees and client opinions require confirmation. If a figure cannot be verified, remove it or describe the capability without pretending there is measured proof.

Case studies should distinguish the project type, scope and visible functions from business outcomes that belong to the client.

Prepare images and supporting assets

Choose images that explain the product, process or context instead of filling space. Record ownership and permission, prepare descriptive file names and write alt text that communicates meaning.

Brand files, diagrams, downloadable documents and logos should be collected early so their formats and quality do not delay layout work.

Create an approval workflow

Assign one person to consolidate feedback and approve final wording. A working document should show page status, missing evidence, image responsibility and the current version.

After content is placed into the design, review it on a phone. Long paragraphs, repeated ideas and vague buttons become more obvious in the real interface.
