Content Definition
Your web project should be built around the content you want to offer your visitors.

- and search engines referencing: engines index the content and are taking into account the semantic markup of it (heading levels, images, micro-data,…)

If the evolution of your business depends on the acquisition of new prospect, optimizing your site and its contents for referencing by search engines should be at the heart of the conduct of your project.
Indeed, without content properly edited to offer to the search engines your site will remain invisible on the web.Information Architecture
All relevant information — text, images, documents, references — you have to offer your visitors should be organized so that he can find what he came for a minimum of clicks.
architecture obviously depends on the amount of content that you offer, the different profiles of visitors to whom you speak and the actions that they are supposed to take on your site.Key words
