How SEOmonitor aced their app launch (with a little help from Bejamas and Contentful)
If you’re an agency or business with search engine optimization (SEO) on the brain, we’ll do you a favour and introduce you to SEOmonitor. It’s an SEO platform that encompasses a whole suite of SEO tools; think Adobe Creative suite, but for SEO. It includes a research tool that instantly generates search and competitive overviews for any topic, an SEO timeline that tracks changes and, most recently, Signals, an app for SEO insights.
Countdown: The top 5 Contentful community talks of all time
Since the beginning of 2018, we’ve traveled from San Francisco to London to Berlin documenting all the awesome projects the Contentful community is working on. There’s more to come this year and in the future, but a few videos from last year drew quite a crowd. These are our top five community talks of all time (or at least so far) – stick around until the end for number one.
Protecting your Contentful accounts with Have I Been Pwned?
If you’ve been blocked creating a new password, don’t worry it’s not just you. While a six character password made up of just letters might have been sufficient in the past, now the standard is at least eight, with numbers and symbols mixed in. If your password looks like your cat walked across your keyboard, that’s good. But a password that looks like a keyboard-bashing isn’t your only defense, there’s also tools like “Have I been Pwned” and “Pwned passwords” to help protect your accounts against hackers.
Evangelizing design on engineering-heavy product teams
At Contentful, our product feature teams vary in mission, domain, and size, but they have one thing in common: the average engineering to design ratio on a product team is around 5:1.
Everybody’s arguing about headless. Here’s what we know.
There’s quite a commotion about the topic of headless Content Management Systems (CMSes). It’s turned into a healthy debate over some central questions: What qualifies as a headless CMS? Do headless CMSes cater to non-technical users? Is it possible to accomplish similar goals with a traditional CMS? What’s the deal with structured content and headless CMSes?
Build content-rich progressive web apps with Gatsby and Contentful
We have a pretty simple goal at Contentful: to make your life easier as a developer. While we would like to hand-deliver every one of you a cheeseburger and fries, and maybe throw in a shoulder massage –– computer neck, anyone?–– we're not quite able to do so. This course just might be the equivalent.
Fly lighter with static sites: a packing list
Static sites are gaining popularity for good reason. With static sites, content is pre-built and served without calls to a database, so you get a lot of benefits: faster load times, simplicity, lower cost and few dependencies. We’ve written a lot about static sites over the last couple of years to help you on your way. Read on for a packing list of resources to get started, or learn some new ways to stretch its capabilities.
What everyone needs to know about localization with Locaria
International brands require a more nuanced approach to language across markets. It’s tempting to brush off localization as a simple translation job. Take English. Make it French... and you’re done. The truth is that international brands require a more nuanced approach to language across markets. In this article, Contentful and Locaria come together to talk about some of the common mistakes that teams make with localization, and how to avoid them.
The delivery team vs. the two-pizza team
Product development doesn’t just depend on the right infrastructure or code. It also depends on organizing the right people into the right kinds of teams. Each project requires a unique organization of team members. This post covers how I faced these challenges, and what I learned about team building in the process.
The modern content paradigm with TribalScale
In today’s digital era, websites are the primary gateway to organizations for customers, partners, and investors. Organizations rely specifically on content to drive access to core web applications, to disseminate important information to prospective customers (e.g white papers, infographics, value statements, and feature overviews), or to even outline key documentation for Developers. Modern content is required to be intuitive, impactful, and engaging. This content is ever-changing as organizations grow and evolve with their messaging and branding. Content must reach audiences in all locations: via desktop, mobile, and other internet-connected devices.
