Why Contentful is a game-changer for UK businesses
Contentful has revolutionised the way UK businesses manage their content. Unlike traditional CMS platforms, Contentful offers a headless CMS solution that separates content from presentation. This means you can deliver consistent, high-quality content across multiple channels without the hassle of duplicating efforts.
Here at iWeb, we’ve seen firsthand how Contentful can streamline content management. Our expert solution architects have helped numerous clients transition to this modern CMS, resulting in improved efficiency and a more agile content strategy. With iWeb’s 29 years of e-commerce experience, we understand the unique needs of UK businesses and how to leverage Contentful to meet those needs.
How to create a robust content strategy with Contentful
Creating a robust content strategy with Contentful involves several key steps. First, you need to define your content goals. Are you looking to increase engagement, drive sales, or improve brand awareness? Once you have clear objectives, you can start planning your content around these goals.
The team at iWeb can help you map out a content calendar that aligns with your business objectives. We use Contentful’s flexible API to integrate with other tools like Adobe Analytics and Adobe Experience Manager, providing a seamless workflow. This ensures that your content is not only engaging but also data-driven, allowing for continuous optimisation.
Integrating Contentful with other platforms
One of the standout features of Contentful is its ability to integrate with various platforms. Whether you’re using Adobe Commerce, Akeneo PIM, or any other system, Contentful’s API makes integration straightforward. This is crucial for businesses looking to create a unified digital experience.
