A Guide to Dynamic Content Applications for CMS Web Design
Content management systems (CMS) are the primary engine behind the
vast majority of websites and apps in the online media arena. The best
approach to design for these applications is to prioritize content above
aesthetic. For the dynamic, content-driven world of internet media, use
UI/UX methods.
Content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Drupal, and
others power the vast majority of web applications and mobile apps,
particularly in the online media arena. These technologies were
developed to address the demands of the internet era, in which
material is king and dynamic—changing often and continually.
Most websites in the past were static and weren't designed to expand
and change over time. There is a best approach to design for them now
that they are thought of as living systems. The information in the
following is a guide for digital designers who want to start designing
effectively for dynamic content-driven applications like news sites,
blogs, or even social networks where users regularly post content in

2. CMS-driven Applications Using IA Web Design Patterns
Particularly if working on the UX (user experience) and creating it from
the bottom up, designers should have a mental model of the prevalent
information architectural patterns in a CMS-driven application. There
are a number of page types CMS Web Design that are typical and
essential to these applications, and they frequently relate in a
predictable way with the "post" serving as the central element. The
number of posts that can be included in an application is typically not
theoretically constrained.
Home Page
This is the official entrance and is frequently confused with the home
page. It is very frequent since it helps to emphasize or feature what is
most crucial, especially when there is a lot of stuff to access. This page
often displays condensed versions of posts without giving away too
much information.

3. Page Post
All public information about a post is displayed on the post page if the
"post" is the central component of a CMS-driven application. It is most
likely the only page in the program that is genuinely crucial, and it may
be an article page or an informational page about a specific occasion,
someone, group, or item, for example. There may be different sorts of
posts and posts in some larger apps.
Category/List Page
Users can browse all of the posts that are available on this type of page
and filter them according to categories, qualities, or other criteria.
When there is a significant volume of stuff to scroll through, a sort
option is also typical.
Query Page

4. For smaller applications, a dedicated search page is not necessary but is
always beneficial. It may occasionally be combined with or integrated
into the category/list page.
Author/User Profile
Each author or user who writes one or more posts is honored on this
page. It is occasionally skipped on smaller news websites and blogs with
a single author, but it is essential for larger news websites with many
authors, content-driven social networks, and other user-generated
apps. A listing of all the user's posts on this page is a customary and
practical practice.
Dashboard or user home
This page displays information (including posts) tailored to the user
who is currently logged in, frequently in the form of a personalized
newsfeed or suggested material, recent activity, and status updates.
For social network applications and gated apps, the user home is a
requirement, but it's optional or unimportant for others.
UI Design for Dynamic Content that is Content-driven
Content comes before design. Design that is purely decorative is not
design at all. Zeldman, Jeffrey
It's crucial to keep in mind that content always comes first when
creating the user interface for a CMS-driven application and never the
other way around. More and more media businesses have adopted a
content-first strategy in recent years, and it has produced results. In

5. light of this, the following advice is provided for UI designers who are
just starting out on these kinds of projects.
Before defining a style, take the content into account
The visual design of a content-driven application should complement
the material as a whole. Even though the nature of these applications
typically imply that the content will be unpredictable and changing, it
will typically fit within a larger theme. Therefore, actual content can be
a wonderful source of inspiration for creating the brand's look.
However, if the designer creates a too specialized style and grows
overly loyal to particular pieces of content, it could also become a
liability.
DO find out who will be contributing regularly to the content.
The majority of the content in a CMS-driven application is decided by
content creators rather than designers. As a result, it is typically

6. assumed that the designer will give up some control over the product's
appearance to those who regularly produce content, such as editors,
authors, administrators, or even arbitrary users who enter content
using public forms.
The designer can establish some rules and criteria for selecting,
preparing, and cropping photos as well as some restrictions on text
styling, depending on the procedure that is agreed upon. However, in
general, it is the job of the designer to create the application's front-
end in a way that ensures that bad content creation, like a substandard
image or a lengthy headline, does not noticeably detract from the
design's quality.
WHENEVER POSSIBLE, DESIGN WITH REAL CONTENT.
Spending time looking at a significant sample of material makes sense
because the type of content in a CMS-driven application can vary
greatly. In the case of a news site or blog, it is ideal for the designer to
work closely with content producers right away and ask for article
examples, product photographs, videos, or anything else that camakthe

7. Sdesign mockups appear as authentic as possible.
Using genuine content when designing is better to using stock images
and dummy text, and it can even be done concurrently with
wireframing or prototyping because it helps to reduce any unexpected
events.
It's not unusual for a design to appear stunning when it's filled with well
chosen or altered pictures and finely crafted headlines, only to fall flat
once it goes into production.
DON'T be too particular about the style.
Avoid pigeonholing the material by choosing a visual style that solely
reflects one mood, genre, narrative, or subject. Instead, keep it

8. straightforward and inclusive of any and all tones that might be present
in the content.
