Letting go of the words
Ginny Redish
The Elements of Style
Strunk & White

13. KEY TIPS
Workshop ideas with stakeholder groups
Share outputs in short, fun documents
User research can help solve disputes
Don’t let the organisation’s faults become the
faults of the website
Everything must earn its right to be on the page -
challenge all assumptions!
No amount of technical jiggery-pokery will fix
bad content

14. REMEMBER:
GOOD
CONTENT
IS GOOD
REGARDLESS OF THE DEVICE!
