However, when we talk about the lifecycle of a website, designing is just a piece of that large cake and is prioritized after content modeling. The content-first strategy ensures that you don’t divert from emphasizing the message that your business wants to convey to its audience. If you are getting your website redesigned, start with creating a content model. Content modeling helps you save countless hours during and after the redesigning of the site, and even months later you can refer to the same model to improve results. Understanding Content Modelling Content modeling documents all type of content associated with the company and defines the relationship between its types. Content type incorporates text, videos, images/photos, audio, at alll. A content model visually describes the purpose of each content type and promotes collaboration between developers, designers, and content creators. While website redesigning, the content model gives precise information to the architects and designers about the placement and accommodation of a content type. If there are captions with images, then those also should be laid out in the model.

The CMSs of other devices have less structure in the front end, and its metadata and taxonomy should assist the system in determining which content elements to display. Application Programming Interface (API) Structured content, metadata, taxonomy devise the content for the future. Application programming interface makes the content available to the calling device. We don’t know what devices we’ll use in the future; hence, API can be used to query and retrieve results in the requested format. For example, if I inquire, “Alexa, tell me the restaurant’s special dish,” its system knows that it has to make an API call to the CMs to retrieve the answer. Contact us Mo.
