5 little things your CMS should make easier

When your CMS gets these right, they fade into the background and simply become part of the way you work. That’s when editing stops being “tech work” and starts being just… work.

1. Finding the right page fast

• Search by title, text, or keywords
• Filter by section or content type
• No scrolling through endless lists to find the one you need

2. Updating a section without breaking the layout

• Drop in text, images, or other content blocks where you need them
• Built-in layout rules keep pages consistent
• No “oops, everything shifted” moments

3. Re-using content anywhere

• One update changes it everywhere
• Perfect for recurring info like contact details or event times
• No more copy-paste across multiple pages

4. Previewing before you publish

• See exactly how it will look on desktop and mobile
• Spot typos, missing images, or awkward spacing before they go live
• Publish with confidence

5. Adding media without fuss

• Drop in an image, embed a video, or link to a page in seconds
• The right block for the job is always ready
• No resizing headaches or broken embeds

The small stuff matters

These aren’t “nice to have” extras. They’re the basics your editors should get every time they log in. When the little things work smoothly, the big updates become easier (and your site stays fresh without extra effort).

A lot of this ease comes from Volto, Plone’s modern editing interface. Plone Classic still has a valuable place in many teams’ workflows, but if you’re on Classic, it’s worth seeing what Volto could do for you. It might be the refresh your editors have been waiting for.

At Juizi, we make sure our clients get these essentials without even having to ask. And when your team is ready to get more out of Plone, we provide training and support to build skills and confidence. You can also find free resources from the Plone community at training.plone.org.
