Why UX content design standards?
Permalink to "Why UX content design standards?"Writing for the user's needs is all about support, ease, simplification and telling their story. Users want to get things done efficiently and painlessly.
While digital marketing content highlights features and benefits to influence the purchase of a product, UX content design creates easy, painless ways for users to buy and use those digital products.
The focus is different. The goals are different. So, the writing standards should be different.
Do
- Understand what the user needs & earn their trust
Don't
- Assume what the user needs & lose their trust
