content-modeling-best-practices

What problem does it solve?

Content modeling best practices help teams design content structures that are flexible, maintainable, and presentation-agnostic across CMSs. They emphasize separation of content from presentation, encourage reuse, and guide taxonomy design.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Principle-driven guidance: separation of content from presentation, taxonomy strategies, and reuse patterns across CMSs.
• Concrete patterns: shared components, shared fields, content fragments, taxonomy references, and governance.
• Sanity-specific guidance: apply these patterns when modeling schemas in Sanity to ensure cross-project consistency.

Quick Start

• Audit your current schemas to identify 2-3 candidate reusable blocks.
• Create a small shared field set and apply it to two content types (e.g., article and author).
• Refactor names to meaning-focused terms and align taxonomy usage to avoid duplication.
