Page tables are part page template, part content overview. They provide a breakdown of content on an existing page, how that content is currently setup and recommendations on how to improve/develop that content.

• Landing Page • Services Page • Portfolio Page • Process Page • Blog Page

Additional Recommendations & Notes

Branding & Voice

Currently the site & content are very clean but do not give the impression of cutting edge. Personality is minimalistic, polished and modern (if that's what you're going for excellent) and not what I would call exciting.

Content is verbose vs. concise

Page 2: Carl's Content Strategy Report

Voice is often self-referring or talking the general vs. talking to someone

SEO

Pages are lacking keywords & descriptions which are valuable for basic SEO.

An overall Keyword set should be researched and selected.

On page content should include keywords included in the set, blog content should develop around keyword set.

Use text in place of images of text for better on page SEO.

Delivery

Questions to ask:

• Who is your audience? • How are you going to get your content in front of your audience? • Search Engine Marketing vs. Social Media Marketing
