Controlling the Pace of UX with Content Strategy

What happens when we slow our pace, enjoy the ride, or look around while waiting in line? Well, if there's content to engage us, our experiences will be richer and more memorable—and our typical frustrations from “waiting” are more likely to vanish, too.

That's the power of good content that guides us, helps us focus, and encourages us to explore: it helps us make better choices and have more positive memories of an experience.

But how do you help your users focus on what’s really important?
