Usability First

Science-Based Content Design is not about making things beautiful or interesting ā€“ it’s about making things usable. It just so happens (and research shows) that what is usable is beautiful.

Paradigm Shift

Science-based design reframes the awkward and misleading ā€œcontent vs. designā€ paradigm into a new and powerful paradigm of language, ideas, and design. It redefines content in terms of how human beings perceive and process information. It reflects the anatomical, neurological, and psychological processes we use to derive meaning from the world around us.

By understanding how our bodies and minds transform visual stimuli into real-world behaviors and beliefs, we can take charge of how our content is created and consumed, and facilitate the success of both organizations and individuals, and of both content consumers and content creators.

Practical Application

Science-Based Content Design is about outcomes. It takes an interdisciplinary body of knowledge and transforms it into specific, actionable guidelines for making real-world content-design decisions that transform your content.
