SEO best practices are implemented without sacrificing a serious and human-focused editorial style.
Our main focus was to create an information portal similar to a news site. Long-term static content was balanced with more topical articles to keep the website fresh and dynamic. This also keeps the rational aspects of fire safety in balance with the emotional connection that readers may have to the idea of a fire and what it could mean in their lives. An editorial design style was developed to maximize readability and visual hierarchy. Information architecture also played a major role in prioritizing content for the different user groups.
SEO best practices are implemented without sacrificing a serious and human-focused editorial style. After all, in the end the goal is to provide people with information to help save lives. Topical articles are additionally promoted with online advertising.
