A content system a team of three can actually maintain

Publishing had stalled at two posts a quarter. We replaced a bespoke CMS with a block-based system and a weekly editorial rhythm.

Developer tickets per post

Every article needed a developer. That single fact explained the entire content backlog.

Approach

Blocks, not templates

We catalogued every layout the marketing team had ever asked for, reduced it to eleven reusable blocks, and gave them a weekly slot to draft, review and ship. The technical work was the small half.

What made it stick

  • A named owner for the weekly slot
  • Blocks constrained enough to stay on brand
  • Publishing with no engineering dependency
