Content modelling
Deciding what your content is made of before building the pages that hold it.
Content modeling is deciding what your content is actually made of before you build the pages that hold it. Instead of treating everything as one big blob of "page", you break it into reusable parts, so a course has lessons, a lesson has a title, a video, and a summary. In course platforms and publishing sites, getting this right early is what lets content scale and adapt later instead of fighting you. In WordPress, this usually means custom post types and custom fields instead of stuffing everything into the default page editor: a review has a rating and a product it points to, an event has a date and a location, a case study has a client and an outcome. Skip this step and the site still launches, but every later change becomes a manual find-and-replace across dozens of pages instead of one field update that ripples everywhere it is used. The cost of a missing content model rarely shows up on launch day. It shows up eighteen months later, when the business has grown past the shape the site was built for.
