A content model defines the types of information your website stores and how they relate. Examples include services, people, locations and articles. Give recurring facts their own fields when they need consistent display, validation or reuse across several pages.
A practical approach
Start with real examples and exceptions. A model that handles only the simplest item may force editors to hide important information in an unrelated text box later. Decide which fields are required and what a page should do when optional content is absent.
Your checklist
- List content types and their relationships.
- Test the model with varied real records.
- Define labels and help text editors will understand.
For example
A team member might have a name, role, biography and optional profile link. Keeping those fields distinct lets the website present them consistently without asking editors to imitate formatting by hand.
