Home A-Z What drives repeat visitors to your website? Publishing on the web is often characterised as a leap into the unknown, with an assumption that the technical aspects of web publishing make it entirely unique. That's why, in many companies large and small, the person in charge of the internal web comes from a technical, rather than a marketing background. Interestingly, some new research from Forrester Research shows that this approach to web publishing is doomed to failure. David Travis explains. Publishing on the web is often characterised as a leap into the unknown. People involved in traditional media, such as newspapers, magazines and television, are sometimes considered unsuitable to design websites. The assumption behind all this is that the technical aspects of web publishing make it entirely unique. That's why, in many companies large and small, the person in charge of the intranet hails from a technical, rather than a marketing background. Interestingly, some new research from Forrester Research shows that this approach to web publishing is doomed to failure. What do customers want?

The source files for this stuff is usually Word, Power Point or Pagemaker, or something equally not Web and converting these to HTML is a nightmare. On the other hand converting them to PDF is relatively easy. The question that keeps coming up in my mind is really, how much effort should we be spending taking materials and content that is designed at the source for print and converting that to something delivered on the Web? I imagine this is a common problem. For my part, I think I have the answer. If there is a need to have this content on the Web, these documents should be designed for the Web at the source or in the case of say a tri-fold brochure with some good content, that content needs to be repurposed into a second, separate document. This puts the burden on the content creators, to be sure, but in the long run I think this has way more upside. In this case the content creators would need to outline their goals for the content before the decision is made on how to publish it. If they want a piece to be printed and passed out in the clinics, well, PDF should work fine for now. If they want something for parents to read online, well then we go XTML. As always, the tool should come after the goal. If I could get people thinking Web first it would be much easier. I think there are ways to meet multiple goals with one tool (XHTML) but there needs to be a shift in mindset at the beginning of the process.
