Personal reflection
I’m Malcolm Gunn, the Red Bridge Web Director. I started writing content in 2000 and working full time in the field in 2009 – reviewing websites, creating content, designing information architecture and project managing website implementations.
To me it’s always seemed odd that the starting point for website design and content is usually the technology or the graphics, not with understanding what visitors really want to find and do on a website – the tasks they want to achieve.
Now, as it happens, if you start with finding out what your visitors really want to find and do on your website then you get better outcomes: it’s quicker, cheaper (because it’s less work and less development time wasted) and more satisfying for visitors. That’s what my method does and that’s why it works: our design approach.
I’d really like to work with you so contact me and let’s talk about your project.
