Who you are
-
You're new to Contentful and are starting to learn how to build a headless CMS.
​
-
You may have tried Contentful's tutorials on creating a content model, but still need more help.
​
-
You want to lay a solid foundation for your headless CMS so you can access the benefits you've heard about.
Did you know that building a content model wrong can lead to the same issues as a traditional CMS?
Issues like
Lack of content reusability
Time-consuming authoring workflows
Inconsistent end-user experience
No content validation
Ineffective permissions
The only way to prevent these issues is by setting up the right content model
Have you ever put a lot of effort into something and didn't get the result you anticipated?
​
You found the motivation to do something new, pushed yourself to execute, only for your goal to still feel far away.
That's kind of what it's like to set up a headless CMS without the right content modeling knowledge — a lot of effort, for little payoff.
What if you knew exactly how to build your perfect content model?
You could stop updating the same piece of content in 10 different places because your content would be reusable.
​
You could strengthen your brand with a consistent tone of voice.
​
You could enable content editors to focus on meaningful work, rather than mundane tasks.
