Content needs to be great quality, complete, and current. Well written, well presented and easy to understand. Don’t be too technical or tricky with language. Leave the technical things to a downloadable white paper.
Ensure ASX Announcements are available immediately. Ten minutes later worsens progression rates. Show headline news on the home page.
Appeal strongly to the utilitarian, logical mind. Be the authority on all of the company information, good, bad or indifferent. This invites respect.
Provide all of the historical ASX announcements, easily found by type on multiple pages, nicely archived, searchable. Include share price data. Analysts want a download centre. Address specific needs of other target audiences.
Fully explain the business. Don’t expect investors to trawl through reports listed in historical sections (e.g. Annual Reports or Presentations) to get the main messages.
