Learning Center Launch!

IT Nerd Turned Content Writer
I'm excited to show off our brand-new Learning Center at E-N Computers:
www.encomputers.com
We've had a "learning center" button on our menu bar since our website relaunch last year, but it was pretty terrible - basically just links to our blog archive and some other random pages. Our category/tag structure was a mess too, with tons of duplicates, meaningless categories, and everything else you'd expect from 10 years of Wordpress.
So I spent the last few weeks rebuilding our taxonomy structure so that it (hopefully) makes more sense to our target audience. I added Industry and Persona groupings, and broke everything out by content type. Then I put it all together with a fancy AJAX search & filter plugin... et voila!

-- even though he's moved on to bigger & better things, I would be lying if I said I didn't shamelessly copy borrow some ideas from draw inspiration from his very well-executed version at Kelser.

Price Estimator & Next Steps RecommendationPost
Caitlin Hunter could you share a bit more about your business? It sounds like something along the lines of real estate based on property assessments that you noted. That'll help me get my head around the kind of tool you'd need and then I'll send some tool recommendations I have!

Website Price EstimatorPost
Hello! I have a client who would like to create the following online assessments (via Typeform)*A Recommender Assessment - "What (Product) Is the Best Fit For My Needs?" - user answers a series of questions and a product is recommended based on users current situation*Price Estimator - user answers questions and the output is a price range for this particular product or serviceThe client would like to "combine" these assessments into one: whereas the user gets a recommendation then it immediately leads into the price estimator. I'd like to see if anyone has had success with this approach, or is it better to have them separate?

Content process fail? Ideas appreciatedPost
Hello all, at my TAYA client we have a content creation process in place. The SME's (sales and engineering) get interviewed and the articles are created; there are several moments where the SME's can give feedback. The article then goes into the ready for publication folder after everyone has approved the final version. We are now running into the situation that the SME will give feedback and ultimately approve the article. But then when it's published they come with changes to it again. Any tips, or ideas on how to handle this? It frustrates the process yet we want the SME's to stay on board and at the same time not demotivate the writers. Hoping to hear how you've (or would) handled this. Thanks in advance! Danielle

Duplicate contentPost
I have a 5,000 plus word blog post called The VA Home Loan Ultimate Guide.I'd like to create more ultimate guides with the other types of mortgages (FHA, USDA, conventional).The problem is only the middle part of the blog where I talk about the credit score, debt, income, property condition is different based on the mortgage.The beginning and end of the buying process doesn't change because of the mortgage.Would I be okay do ultimate guides on each mortgage type and keep the beginning and end, but only change the middle section? Basically duplicating the a portion of the blog.If not, what be the best approach to doing ultimate guides for each mortgage? Should I have separate sections for each type of mortgage? Or should I just stick to only one since veterans are my niche?

First TAYA video...feedback?Post
We've got a team putting together what I (think) is great content for our organization, but I'd welcome some feedback? This is our first serious (we did some soft funny videos first) video we created. We've actually created a pretty full pipeline (I think there are 15-20 video projects underway), but I'd love some non-geek (we're in the IT services world) feedback if possible:https://youtu.be/2B8FihhT6gMThanks!

The optimal length of title tags for SEO [new research]Link

Second, we are making an effort to publish more content that is useful to our existing clients as well as prospects later in the sales cycle -- things that answer questions about the specific services we offer and how they work (the article on Backups & Disaster Recovery is an example.) So we're going to have account management use the learning center to educate existing clients, which hopefully will train clients to use the learning center themselves to self-educate.
As you continue to iterate this section of your site, definitely consider bringing more of the resource content above or at the fold. This would help to create immediate clarity for new visitors that this is a resource section versus another type of page, and could also save the website visitor a few hundred pixels of scrolling.
Keep doin' what you're doin' man!
But much like any great technology innovation, you've definitely made improvements over the v1.0 version 😁
*Love* how powerful that top filter is: "I want to learn about: everything".
What are your dreams/goals as you continue to grow out your learning center? (not that this isn't an excellent and monumental accomplishment, but also why we're now on the iPhone 13 😇). Looks like you've got some great infrastructure in place to continue building upon.
When you go down to the "Visit Learning Center" button on the left CTA it goes to a 404 page.
Hope it helps you get er fixed!
