- You deliver a perfect, precision-built site, but your client soon starts uploading new material without taking the old stuff down. Very soon, it’s all a bit of a mish-mash. It’s as if they’ve bought a luxury car and then let their children in with chocolate, Ribena and that all pervading smell of Pickled Onion Monster Munch. Govern is the key word here – keep track, tend and care for of every piece of content long after delivery, and take it down before it goes off.

- Here’s an example of runaway content that doesn’t live up to promise This is what they promise…

- The inventory lists every text page on the site. From this we pick a section, either: One that the clients requests as a problems area to tackle first One that we can see is a challenge and that will best illustrate what we can do.
- We are focusing on text, but we don’t lose sight of the other material
- Quantitative audit The quantitative audit answers such questions as: How many pages are there? How many words are there? How many times do keywords appear? How many links are there? When was the page last updated? We are counting. We try not to read the content at this stage! If it is a large site, we pick one section of the site for quantitative audit. This could be your client’s choice of problem area, or something you think will showcase your editorial skill. Around 15–20 pages is a good number. Add new columns to your inventory as you go. Flesch is a measure of readability. A high word count and a low Flesch score help us identify the pages that need most work. We can add your analytics to the spreadsheet to help us identify which pages have good stats and which could be safely removed.
- Focus in on one area that is ripe for redevelopment
- Qualitative audit shows: the level of work that needs to be done on the content who will do it; and you can start to estimate how much it will cost. This document sets the ball rolling on project management
