As more users access content sites directly via article pages, coming from social media or search engines, these pages have to change. First, they should maximise the traffic potential from search and social. Second, they should work as “mini-homepages”, leveraging the first encounter with the user. The content products need to be built today from 3 separate perspectives: direct, social and search. 

The first part of this workshop will deal with the homepage and the “direct traffic”. The main aspects covered during this session will be creating dynamic websites; integrating the iPad and the web content presentation paradigms and creating cross platform experiences. The second part of the workshop will address the article pages and the “social” and “search” traffic. This session will focus on using content as a marketing agent; journalistic Search Engine Optimisation, creating content communities around content websites; and what’s next - answering the most important question of the user.
