It’s time to implement a content management system for my own site. The common aesthetics, familiar UI and the fluidity aside, I’m most motivated to make a change because I can update my content in the same way that I think.
I am an art director in a small market which means that I do a LOT of things. I am a graphic designer, and I edit videos. I write SEO-friendly copy, and I make outdoor ads. I consult on prospective projects, make 2D motion graphics, code up websites, administer social media pages, design logo and stationery packages, and I oversee sign installations. I have not, to date, vinyl-wrapped a bus, but I’m working on it.
I needed a website that moves at the same pace I do, and that’s where content management systems save me time. Rather than having to write new code every time I wanted a fresh gallery of photos, I just publish. Rather than disabling my prior versions or creating archive UIs, I just categorize my posts and continue publishing.
