General Best Practices

Plan Before You Publish

• Draft your content in a text editor or planning tool before entering it into the CMS.

• Review content for accuracy, grammar, and formatting before publishing.

• Use the content moderation workflow (Draft > Published) to ensure proper review.

Keep Content Consistent

• Follow your organization's style guide for tone, formatting, and terminology.

• Use consistent heading levels (H2 for main sections, H3 for subsections).

• Apply consistent formatting across similar content types.

Optimize for Performance

• Compress images before uploading to reduce page load times.

• Use responsive images and appropriate image styles.

• Avoid embedding unnecessary scripts or heavy media on every page.

Collaborate with Your Team

• Use revision log messages to communicate with other editors about changes.

• Coordinate content updates to avoid conflicting edits.

• Reach out to your development team for technical issues or custom requirements.

Stay Organized

• Use meaningful titles and descriptive file names for content and media.

• Apply taxonomy terms consistently for proper categorization.

• Keep menus and navigation structures logical and up to date.

• Archive outdated content instead of leaving it published.
