Before we can implement a “user first” approach to web design and content creation we have to know what tasks our visitors want to complete on our websites.

Key points covered here include the use of sub-heads and bullet points, sentence and paragraph length, font size, and language. Examples for higher education websites illustrate best and the not-so-best practices.

Review examples here from 5 diverse schools: American University, Strayer University, Wellesley College, University of Findlay, and Southern New Hampshire University.
