Content “Usability”
November 17th, 2005
Some days ago, I gave a short presentation at an Usability Seminar here in Lisbon, I hadn’t much time as I would have liked to prepare the presentation, and as always I even run into last minute problems with the keynote to powerpoint conversion. Even so, the presentation was about something I personally call “Content Usability“, which basically evolves around some of the issues and guidelines that all of us should consider when publishing content on the web. The all presentation was based on a very simple thought: content = value! So what can we do. and should do to achieve the highest value for our contents?
The rules and guidelines I’ve presented, are more or less a personal compilation of heuristics and principals collected along my experience using different content managers, not only as producer (of contents) but also from my experience on the other side of the wall: as content manager system’s administrator and webmaster on different project and websites.
So if you’re interested on reading it or simply on this matters, do take some time to read it, and send me your feedback, the presentation is available in PDF as well as Quicktime Movies, portuguese (original version) or english (roughly translated).
- PDF: portuguese (6.1Mb), english (6.1Mb)
- Quicktime: portuguese (7.2Mb), english (6.8Mb)

Parabéns!
No meu entender está muito bom. Resumido, sem complicar e bastante prático já que muitas pessoas quando ouvem falar de Usuabilidade pensam logo em dificuldades (para quem produz) sem tirar partido desta prática.
Spread the word

Thanks Cláudio!
In fact there’s a whole lot more stuff we need to change for the world to became a more usable place. Starting by making the contents WE produce more usable is a small step for us, but a great one for everybody that might need them.

I haven’t had time to go through the whole presentation, but from what i’ve seen, this is high quality stuff man. Not to mention much needed in the Portuguese Web. I’ll certainly help spreading the link…
Sure makes me feel even worse for missing the event. :-\
