Structuring Your Content for Success

Creating content for a headless CMS like Sanity requires a shift in perspective, focusing on modularity and reusability. At Wonderful Digital, we partner with you throughout the content planning and preparation process to ensure that your content is well-structured and easily manageable. Here’s how we approach structuring content for success:‍

‍

1. Identify Content Components

The first step in structuring content is to break it down into its core components. This involves analysing your existing content and identifying distinct elements such as:

‍

• Text: Articles, headlines, descriptions, and any written content.

• Images and Graphics: Photographs, illustrations, and infographics.

• Videos and Audio: Multimedia elements that enhance engagement.

• Metadata: Information that provides context, such as author, publish date, and tags.

‍

Each component should be able to stand alone, ensuring it can be reused and repurposed across different content types and channels.‍

‍

2. Define Content Types

Once you have identified the components, the next step is to define the different content types that your website or application will require. This includes:

‍

• Blog Posts: Articles, news updates, and insights that keep your audience informed.

• Product Descriptions: Detailed information about your products or services.

• Testimonials and Reviews: Social proof that builds trust and credibility.

• Case Studies: In-depth explorations of how your products or services solve customer problems.

‍

By clearly defining content types, you can create a comprehensive content library that supports various aspects of your digital strategy.‍

‍

3. Develop Content Models

With content components and types identified, we then create a content model—a blueprint that outlines how your content is structured and related. A well-defined content model includes:

‍

• Hierarchy and Relationships: How different content types are related and how they interact within the site architecture.

• Fields and Attributes: Specific data points for each content type, such as title, description, and call-to-action buttons.

• Rules and Guidelines: Standards for creating, formatting, and maintaining content to ensure consistency and quality.‍

‍

4. Implement and Iterate

Once the content model is in place, we help you implement it within the Sanity CMS, ensuring that your content is organised and easily accessible. We also emphasise the importance of continuous iteration and optimisation, encouraging regular reviews and updates to adapt to evolving business needs and user feedback.

‍
