Content and design should work together seamlessly to create a compelling user experience. At Parmenter, we understand that effective content strategy is just as crucial as stunning design for driving conversions.
Why Content Strategy Matters
According to Content Marketing Institute, businesses with documented content strategies are three times more likely to succeed. Your website’s design should enhance and showcase your content, not compete with it.

The Content-First Approach
Planning Your Strategy
Start with content goals before diving into design. This ensures your website’s structure serves your content needs. Nielsen Norman Group research shows this approach leads to better user engagement.
Content Hierarchy
Organize content based on user priorities. What do visitors need to know first? How does each piece of content lead them toward conversion?
Design Elements That Support Content
Visual Hierarchy
Use design to guide readers through your content naturally. Headlines, subheadings, and body text should have clear visual relationships.
White Space
Strategic use of white space improves readability and comprehension. HubSpot’s research shows proper spacing can increase understanding by up to 20%.

Content Priority
Mobile users often have different priorities than desktop users. Adjust your content hierarchy accordingly.

Clear Value Propositions
