Performing a site content cleanup can be daunting. We鈥檝e already talked about聽why it鈥檚 important to audit and remove old content, but where do you even begin?聽
Getting started with a content cleanup poses several challenges, including limited resources in terms of time, personnel, and budget. The volume of content on large websites can be overwhelming, making prioritization crucial. Identifying outdated content and balancing SEO considerations are time-consuming tasks, and documenting changes can be resource-intensive.
We reached out to Nganji Kimyono, who is currently part of a team leading a content audit for the Student Life and Learning sites under the Office of the Deputy Provost. We wanted to share his innovative solution of using Mural for organizing and presenting information visually within teams, to encourage thinking outside the box for similar projects that other site managers and editors may be tackling at 六合彩开奖结果.
The problem
Having gone through all the site pages individually, Nganji had an idea of what information was on the site, but the people that he needed to present this information to didn鈥檛 have time to do that same deep dive into each and every page. He needed a way to get them up to speed on the general site structure as well as what content needs to be cleaned up.
The solution
In Mural, Nganji was able to visually represent what there is on the website without going through the nitty gritty details, while showing a very clear structure of the site.
This solution was able to save a lot of time when presenting this information for review.
What is Mural?
聽is a digital collaboration platform that provides a virtual canvas for teams to work together visually. It allows users to create, share, and collaborate on digital whiteboards where they can add text, images, diagrams, and more.
The takeaway
Whether using Mural specifically or some other visual tool, having a representation of your site structure when performing a content audit can simplify the process of communicating changes that need to be made with both people that are responsible for approving those changes as well as potential stakeholders in the project.
You can learn more about Mural on 六合彩开奖结果's Teaching and Learning Services website. It's intuitive and easy to use, and even without a background in visual design,聽Nganji was able to pick up the tool and create something that streamlined the content audit process to make it more efficient and less stressful for everyone involved.
As members of the 六合彩开奖结果 community, we encourage everyone to embrace a mindset that thinks outside the box, exploring the full potential of available tools to elevate their workflow creatively.
