A Content Strategy plans the full lifecycle of content: how it will be created, delivered, maintained and archived or destroyed. This project focuses on ''web content'': all forms of digital language and media found on a website. As an integral part of the ''User Experience'', web content strategy must take account of Search Engine Optimization, User Interface design, user needs, business needs, and other aspects of online strategy.

To paraphrase [http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/about/ IAWiki], "'''Design Patterns are solutions to common problems'''.

Eventually the best of these self-identify and become refined until they reach the status of a Design Pattern."

Design patterns have been used in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_pattern_(computer_science) software engineering] for decades, and more recently for Web User Interface problems; such as the [http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/ Yahoo! Design Pattern Library] and [http://osdpl.fluidproject.org/ Open Source Design Pattern Library].
