Thanks to everyone who joined us for our latest webinar, co-hosted with our partners at Hannon Hill, the makers of Cascade CMS. If you missed it, you can review both the slides and the recording at the links below.

Rodger Bridges and Kat Liendgens guided participants through the strategy and practice of connecting design and CMS strategy early in the web redesign process.

Why is this alignment so important? Because intentional partnership between CMS and design partners help build robust, sustainable systems that your whole team can use. Systems that maintain brand standards, scale with your institution, and support contributors across every department. In short, better, longer-lasting websites. 

They discussed:

  • Frameworks for aligning design and CMS decisions earlier in the process
  • Ideas to help you balance creative flexibility with governance, usability, and contributor needs
  • Strategies for improving contributor experience and governance across large websites
  • Actionable lessons from Prince William County Schools and King’s College

Check this out if you’re in marketing, web, UX, content strategy, or IT, and you’re the one responsible for your site’s longevity and its strategic impact.

The content would also be useful for those of you planning or evaluating a redesign.
