More than that, it’s a discussion around the need for clear and actionable goals. Requirements aren’t just a checkbox — they’re the manifestation of your project goals, and every requirement you make has a history and a genesis.

We’ll be honest: integrations make us nervous. They’re important little pockets of data and functionality that we embed into our site — but they’re also sleeper cells. At any point they could burst. They could become obsolete. They could go rogue.

We’re spoiled, here at The Web Project Guide, because we never have to worry about design. Because we never have to worry about a designer. We’ve got one — it’s @sam_otis.

We’re spoiled, because EVERYONE, at some point in time, has to worry about design. If you’re planning on building a website, design is a part of every step — it’s a part of scoping, it’s a part of content, it’s a part of development. It’s everywhere.

The biggest key to this kind of work? It's knowing that content work is hard. It takes more than knowledge about grammar: it takes a lot of intense conversations, defined strategy, and a willingness to push back. And tea. A lot of tea.

In this episode, we talk about what you might actually need to know when working with a web team, and how information architecture shapes the web content process.

Content strategy has come a long way since the publication of Content Strategy for the Web in 2009. Yet: some things still stay the same, especially for newcomers: questions on where to start, what's important, and how to start building an internal focus.

Without direction, data is nothing more than a bunch of numbers. This month, @MrVilhauer and @deane_barker talk to @joncrowley about data vs. insights: asking the right questions and using data to find answers, rather than vice versa. webproject.guide/podcast/epi…
