@scubachris / @draftfcb

GETTING STARTEDMobile FirstConsidering the mobile version first since it is the smallest screen size and the content displayed needs to be structured to show the most important information first. Also the growth of mobile indicates those devices will be the more frequent ones to access the content.
Content AuditIf you are thinking of responsive design, a content audit will allow the team to understand what content is available on site and make determination as to what is most valuable and where the gaps are.
TaxonomyA taxonomy audit should be included in your content audit as it is your future planning. It allows you to create a tagging and data hierarchy and better future proof your data to display on any type of device.

Does anyone wake up in the morning and think I’ll “leave their phone at home.”
Mobile is an essential part of how most consumers are managing their busy lives.
Because of mobile’s connection there is a growing expectation for things to work and frustration when it doesn’t
MAKE IT USEFUL, OR DON’T TRY
PAGE 43
Because consumers control and customize mobile individually, they demand that experiences they have on the device be designed with them in mind.
Unique opportunity to connect Moment and Message for maximum impact.
