Content collections
Blog posts, products, courses and listings — managed once, used everywhere.
Some things on a site change constantly: stock, prices, articles, listings. Those do not live inside the page — they live in a collection under Content in the sidebar, and pages read from them. Add a product and the shop updates; you never touch the layout.
The collections
| Collection | Holds | Typically shown as |
|---|---|---|
| Products | Items you sell, with prices and images | A shop page and product pages |
| Blog Posts | Articles and updates | A blog index and article pages |
| Courses | Lessons and modules | A course catalogue and lesson pages |
| Real Estate Listings | Properties, with details and galleries | A search page and listing pages |
Categories
Each collection has its own categories, managed separately. Categories are what filtering and navigation are built from, so it is worth setting up a handful before you add fifty items — retro-fitting them across an existing catalogue is tedious.
Keep categories few and obvious. Three that people understand beat twelve that split your catalogue into pieces nobody browses.
Content in mobile apps
Mobile apps have their own equivalents — app products, posts, courses, events and listings — managed the same way. An app screen reads from them exactly as a web page does.
What comes back from your site
Traffic also produces content of its own, and each project collects it:
- Form Submissions — every contact or booking form on the published site.
- Website Users — accounts, where the site has sign-in.
- Comments — reader responses on blog posts, for approval.
- App Reviews and App Users — the same, for mobile apps.
