• 00:00:00 Content-led design is a design process that starts with understanding the content that will be used in a product or website, before designing and building it. This approach is meant to be simple and easy to follow, with the goal of communicating the content's purpose more clearly to the audience.
• 00:05:00 In content-led design, the focus is on the content itself, not on the design. This way, the designer can focus on creating the best possible experience for the user, rather than worrying about the design. This mentality can be applied to any project, whether it's a website, app, or even a piece of furniture. Wireframes can be used to give limits for content, show the client what is allowed, and help them avoid going over the allotted space. They can also be used to help with the strategy and the detail of the project, by understanding the audience and the brand.
• 00:10:00 The "Ten principles of effective user interface wireframes" is a helpful guide for wireframing that emphasizes the importance of feedback and communication. Wireframes are designed to be "undimidating and to welcome in feedback, communicate ideas, and then welcome more ideas essentially."

She recommends that developers and marketers alike use whiteboarding and wireframing to plan their projects.
