Define the Purpose through the Task a Visitor Should Complete
Define a website’s purpose through what visitors should understand and complete. Decide the information and next action before appearance or page count.
Booking, reading resources, and requesting advice require different explanations. Make the principal task identifiable among multiple purposes.
Investigate the Actual Visitor’s Need
GOV.UK distinguishes user problems from proposed solutions. (GOV.UK: User needs) For repeated enquiries, investigate missing explanations or hard-to-find information.
Specify the visitor’s task beyond creating another page.
Choose Content and Links for the Task
A trial signup needs scope, time, prices, preparation, and a destination. A resource page needs an identifiable resource and its purpose.
Assess completed intake or reading alongside clicks.
Review Understanding and Completion after Publication
Investigate understanding and where people stopped. Record traffic and task completion separately.
Use questions to improve copy and assign ownership for current public information.
