Content as Conversation | UX Magazine

Site visitors and app users come for the content. Of course, the information architecture (IA) and the site search must make that content easy to find. The design must be attractive and usable. The technology must work. But IA, search, design, and technology are all there to support the content that people come for: the words and images that make up the conversations between your visitors and your site or app.

Yes, we’re poor, so nonprofits often think of us as volunteers rather than donors. But, there’s this new great thing called micro-fundraising that we are actually capable of participating in. If we all give our spare change every now and again, it would make a BIG difference. And learning to give at a younger age forms a lifetime habit of giving (so in the future when some of us are millionaires, we’ll be able to give way bigger!).
