DESIGN YOUR CONTENT HIERARCHY

• Why is a content hierarchy important?
• Levels of importance for different parts of content?
• How to decide on your Call-to-Action within the content?
• Don’t forget visual hierarchy
• Address the need of the reader
• Explain what services you have to help solve those needs
• Explain why your service is unique (Highlight your USP’s)
• Answer additional FAQ’s
• Finish with a reminder of the need/problem and a stand out Call to Action

Visual Content Hierarchy Tips

Size — Larger elements will dominate
Color — Bright colors capture attention
Contrast — Stark differences work well
Alignment — Users expect to find certain elements in the same place.
Repetition — A repeated quality (e.g.,colored parts of text) draws the user’s eye.
Proximity — Putting related elements close together means these are related.
Whitespace — Including whitespace around elements singles them out.
Texture and Style — Using distinct textures/styles (e.g., chunky, military-style buttons) draws the eye and sets the tone.
