CDS deliver a four stage end-to-end content delivery service which extends beyond the implementation of an off-the shelf software tool:
Content audit: CDS’ skilled team of editors and copywriters, with its understanding of editorial style and its application, is highly experienced in producing content tailored for specific target audiences. Web editorial demands a thorough understanding of the medium, and the way audiences approach and use web content – research suggests they tend to scan information quickly. As a result, clear and concise text becomes even more important; and to best engage the audience it is essential to catch their attention in the opening paragraph of each piece.
Content creation: our editorial team’s skills demonstrate our ability to use the most effective mix of structure and language that works best for your messages and your organisation – and crucially, connects with your audience.
Taking this principle a stage further, by arranging content using an “inverted pyramid” structure, the conclusion is followed by the most important supporting information and the background information comes at the end. This captures the imagination up front by presenting conclusions first, and it also allows the user to stop at any point but still grasp the most relevant details.
Content migration: we are expert in creating content migration schema to move data from legacy to replacement content management software packages, or even extracting content from source where a database may not exist. We also offer low cost manual conversion of content from formats that cannot efficiently interface with electronic transfer methods
Ongoing content management: every web site we have delivered in the last eight years has been underpinned by a content management system
CDS will work with you to establish the level of functionality you require and the scale of system that would be effective for you and then recommend an effective solution based on:
- number of administrators/content owners
- budget
- content volume
- internally driven or collaborative/project driven content creation
