Strategy

We all want our content read. That is the objective. Here are some great ideas on how to improve the readability of our sites. As a digital executive, while you have staff devoted to content, you should pay attention to some basic concepts to focus on a content strategy. Strategy is your job.

When your content is highly readable, your audience is able to quickly digest the information you share with them — a worthy goal to have for your website, whether you run a blog, an e-store or your company’s domain.
