So what is sticky content?

Getting a user to return to your website Getting them to spend longer on the page

‘Teflon’ content– Clunky interaction– Hard to access– Text-rich– Little personalisation

Good practice

– Visual• Logos, people, artwork, videos, prezis• Signpost using colours

– Interactive• Chat rooms, Forums, Games, News, Voting, Questionnaire
