For a while, I’ve been calling my articles “Articles” or “Content”. Turns out that’s not the smartest approach. For example, patio11 recommends to avoid using generic “Content” and use concrete “Case studies” or “Guides” instead – as that communicates the value of the content better.
Steps to take
53 was the first PR to address this. It added a bunch of twitter threads and categorised all links into “Guides”, “Case studies” and etc.
However, I see a few additional places where we could leverage that advice:
Navigation: rename “Articles” to “Case Studies & Guides”
Navigation: rename “Cases” to “Client Stories” (why? with “Articles” renamed to “Case Studies ...”, “Cases” would be too similar to that and confusing)
Navigation: rename “About us” to “About Us” (why? for consistent casing that follows English traditions)
Article footer: change “Articles & open-source tools” to “Case studies, guides, and open-source tools”
Article footer: replace the “101 900” image with the attached version: content-views.png.zip. (Why? The number of views on the content has changed, so ”101 900” is a bit misleading.)
