Content is King
October 18th, 2005 by Kaushal Sheth
In today’s automated scripting world , constructing sites which I prefer to call as “Base site” is like 5 minute job. Tools like Fantastico have made it possible to set up a blog , forum , cms … almost everything at just a click of few buttons. Even Hosting companies have realized the need for automated systems and are trying their best to equip their customers with what they term as One Click Installs .
So that’s leave a little bit of worry in minds of web designers, programmers that how would they market their experience , talent when it is becoming more and more simpler for a common man to start his own site. Well here comes the entry of foremost important part of a site which some people tend to neglect CONTENT . I think its time now for Web Programmers , Designers to take a look into this if they want to exist in this industry. ( kinda harsh line but its truth)
A real life experiment here shows how important content is then just online marketing. I too have experience the same thing. For eg for a couple of instances it took me 5 min to design base site and 2 weeks to design full site . The reason but obvious was lack of content in base site.
So start getting into reading habits my friends. Maybe you can start from Here to get hints. Start blogging , develop skills to write , learn what to write and more important what not to. Maybe that would help you heave some sigh of relief from today’s automated world.

Developing the layout of my site, with my good friends help, was a days job. But it took me more than a week to decide, write and rewrite the contents and the text that appeared on the site!
