CMS & Content Model
The editing layer. How the content is structured, which fields exist, and what an editor can and cannot change once the site is live.
Who it is for
Teams who publish regularly. Businesses whose last CMS let anyone paste anything and slowly ruined the design.
The problem it solves
Most CMS setups model pages instead of content, so every new post is a blank canvas and the design degrades one entry at a time. Modeling the content first keeps the site consistent without policing it.
What I do
- 01Model the content types before choosing where they live.
- 02Constrain the fields so an editor cannot accidentally break a layout.
- 03Set up preview, so people can see the result before publishing.
- 04Write the editor documentation in the language your team uses.
What you end up with
- A content model with the field rules written down.
- A configured CMS with preview working.
- Short editor documentation, in plain language.
