Page table
Page tables are instructions to guide writers on the content they need to produce. Content managers usually produce a series of page tables at the start of a content project (for a new site or redevelopment). Writers should still do detailed planning as content managers usually only consider the content at a high level. This page table has fields for:- Content requirements - page topic, business objective, target audience, main message, secondary content, related content
- Content sources
- Content management - writer, reviewer, content owner, template to use, assets/rights, other notes/comments
