Check your content

There are a number of elements that can be included in the copy of your web site. Here is a content checklist that can be used as you write your page:

• What is the objective of my webpage on the site?
• Have I thought about it from my audience's point of view?
• What information are they looking for?
• Is there any information within the University of Adelaide web site that I can link to that would help visitors of my webpage (such as calendars or maps)?
• Is there any other information on the Web that I can link to that would help visitors of my webpage (such as calendars or maps)?
• Have I checked for acronyms and that my audience understands what the terms mean?
• Have I answered the questions that a visitor may have?
• Have I given people a contact point or something to do now?
• Do we know who within our faculty or department will respond to emails?
• Have I had someone proof-read my copy and do they understand it?
• Have I included enough keywords in the body text so search engines can find my page?
• Have I duplicated any information that is already on the University of Adelaide web site? Could I link to that instead?
• Have I made a diary note to update this information or remove it if it becomes obsolete?
• Is the language I have used appropriate and easily understood by my audience?
• If I am linking to external sources, are they up-to-date? Are they appropriate?
