Takeaways from the Webinar: Unlocking CMS Functionalities

Engage with Dynamic Pages

One of the hallmarks of using Wix Studio is its dynamic page capabilities—perfect for those repetitive content structures. From beauty salon services to real estate listings, creating dynamic pages allows you to maintain a consistent design while automating content updates via your CMS. Convert static pages with a few clicks and watch as unique URLs populate effortlessly!

Leverage Multi-Reference Fields

Feeling boxed in by standard navigation? Meet your new favorite feature: multi-reference fields. By creating smart relationships between your content collections, you’ll automate content displays and navigation. It’s all about establishing smart connections and circular navigation, making interactions on your site intuitive and seamless. It's the kind of magic you didn't know you needed!

Design Custom Forms from Scratch

You have the power with custom forms! Forget the vanilla form builders—craft unique input forms aptly tailored to glean the information you need. Whether collecting site visitor feedback or nudging them into signing up, you can easily connect these forms to your CMS and configure them for read, write, or both data set functions.

Embrace Rich Content for Uniqueness

Adding a dash of flair to your item pages? Rich content fields are your go-to. Embedding videos, social media posts, HTML widgets, and more elevates your pages beyond the mundane. Personalize rich content at the item level, ensuring each page tells its own distinct story while adhering to brand consistency.

Filters: For Both You and Site Visitors

Navigating large volumes of content? Filters are invaluable. At the CMS level, set conditions on what appears site-wide. For your visitors, set user-friendly dropdown filters, making content search a breeze. Ensure each selection is a step towards the precise information they seek.

Handing Projects Over to Clients

Let’s be honest—balancing professionalism with client control is an art. Use validation features to set parameters around content entries, ensuring data consistency without micromanaging. Keep clients happy while safeguarding the integrity of your site designs. Implement access controls and visibility settings to streamline client interactions and empower them with manageable input freedoms.

FAQ Spotlight

Throughout the webinar, audience questions ranged from template customization to multi-lingual site ambitions. One nugget of wisdom: while multilingual features within the CMS aren’t currently live, keep your eyes peeled—development is underway to enhance global reach.
