Archive at a Glance
This blog is very coherent when viewed this way. Most of the material falls into five core subject areas:
Websites — structure, navigation, content, SEO, conversion, trust, and redesign.
Career documents — resumes, accomplishments, formatting, and hiring.
Business communication — plain language, email, internal communication, and clarity.
Visual structure — typography, whitespace, hierarchy, layouts, and design trends.
Information management — audits, legacy documents, institutional knowledge, and searchability.
The common thread across all five is the site's central idea: information becomes more useful when its structure makes the important parts easy to find and understand. NW ReDesign itself describes its approach as reorganizing existing information rather than rewriting the underlying content.
