What is Content Modeling?
Defining reusable types of content, their parts, and how they connect.
What you learn
Define content by what it is, not where it appears.
When it helps
the same information is rewritten in many places, and the copies drift apart.
Use it at work
- List content that appears in more than one place.
- Define each as a type with named parts.
- Store each item once.
- Show it everywhere it’s needed from that one source.
Your output
Find content repeated on three or more pages. Make it one content type, stored once and reused.
Watch for
Writing content as one block per page, copied wherever it’s needed.
