Content: Navigation Terms and Post Types
- The content management system will provide the Client with the ability to create posts and pages that can be organized by category or tag. (Referred to as “navigation term” and technically referred to as taxonomy-based infrastructure.)
- Posts tagged to a navigation term can be listed on the site chronologically, or ordered manually using a “reorder” function. They can be listed in summary, with a read more link, or in full, expanded form.
- The content management system will provide the Client with the ability to create different kinds of posts and designate certain fields to be used on that type of post. Examples of post types include: press releases, announcements, documents, blog posts, upcoming event information. Examples of fields include, but are not limited to: file attachments, slideshow images, event date(s), expiration date, subtitle, related content, author profile.
- The content management system will provide the Client with the ability to rename, re-order, link, and assign a hierarchy to the navigation terms in an intuitive drag-and-drop format. This functionality allows the client to build a traditional site map within the content management system and organize information within the website in a way that is easy to revise throughout the process.
- The content management system will automatically synchronize the navigation terms with the site’s primary and secondary navigation menus. This allows the site administrator to quickly make significant changes to the site’s structure without destabilizing the design or functionality.
- The content management system will provide the Client with the ability to create unpublished or access-controlled navigation terms. This will allow the Client to draft entire landing pages of the site and test before taking the section live. It also provides the Client with the ability to create dedicated areas of the site that are only available to certain types of users. (e.g. the [audience] portal.)
