Content systems
An editing screen, held up to the light.
Instead of a list of features, here is an illustrative wireframe of the kind of page editor we design. Select a numbered marker to read why each part is there.
Navigation inside the editor should mirror the public site, so finding the page to change takes seconds, not a search.
Titles, summaries and alt text come with short hints and sensible limits, so good practice is the easy path.
Editors assemble pages from approved blocks — a story with image, a call to action, a quote — keeping the design intact.
New block types can be added as the organisation's needs change, without rebuilding the site.
Preview should show the page as it will appear, including on a narrow phone screen.
Some teams publish directly; others need a second pair of eyes. The workflow should match yours.
What a content system project can include
Content audit
Reviewing what you already publish, what is out of date, and what your audiences actually look for.
Content modelling
Deciding which types of page exist — events, news, campaigns, resources — and what each one needs.
Build and migration
Developing the site and moving existing content across, with redirects so old links keep working.
Training and care
Short, practical sessions for editors, followed by an agreed plan for updates and fixes.
