Corey Vilhauer Speaking at Confab
Exciting times in conference-land — The Web Project Guide co-author Corey Vilhauer will be speaking at this year’s Confab 2021. His talk, “Our jobs as connectors: How content strategy connects the entire web process,” is directly influenced by the work he’s done putting together The Web Project Guide, and we hear there’s going to be a little Web Project Guide surprise during the conference itself.
Consider this a call to multidisciplinary action: We as content strategists are the glue that hold a web project together. We are the ones who touch every part of a project—from discovery to development and beyond. And that means we need to understand not just words, but the systems and processes we build around those words.
This talk will take a look at how we can be not just good content strategists, but good web strategists, helping craft our work in a way that helps research, design, development, and ongoing support—all while learning a bit about our work in the process.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- How content strategy ultimately affects stages further down the project timeline—design, development, support
- What you need to know about the different disciplines in order to make their—and your!—job easier
- How content strategy fits into the larger ecosystem of a web design or development project
- How content and governance form the backbone of the entire web experience
Who will benefit most: This talk is for those who are part of smaller teams that require more interdisciplinary work, those who work at the agency level or work with different development teams, and those who are more focused on technical content strategy and not simply style and writing.
