content strategy FTW

[ I usually don't copy/paste from the brochure, but this one had the best hook that I couldn't write better myself. ]

11th hour copy. Fix-it-later launches. Our users deserve more than the last-minute content we often get stuck with. And you have the power to change the game. Learn how to introduce (and sell) content strategy into your web design process.

I have a feeling this presentation is going to make the best podcast to listen to. Kristina is awesome. She’d better put this on slideshare.

everything you know about web design is wrong

When you should get design involved? At the beginning along with everything else. You can’t compartmentalize anymore (marketing, business, design, tech; design: interaction, information, visual, info architecture). You can teach in compartments, but you can’t work in compartments. Education has to start out compartmentalized but with a goal to aggregate (inter-disciplinary capstone projects planned from the very first freshman class). You get people to swing back and forth from being the expert to being the smart guy in the room.
