Content Management Strategy
There are countless bad websites on the internet.  And they almost always have the same common denominator - the site was developed around drupal, IIS, html, css, graphics etc. - the content management system - and then, and only then, when the site was developed did they decide what to put into the site.  The content.  This workshop will start where best practices for website development should start - with the content management strategy - and, once that is addressed, then a better designed site can be developed.
