The future of WordPress is already here – the block editor and the site editor. They provide a true flexible WYSIWYG experience, where content editing teams can create the layouts and designs that they want. But that flexibility can come at a cost – off-brand pages, content that does not meet accessibility standards, an overwhelming number of options that take too long to use, etc.
As website builders – designers and developers – we need to put more thought into this content editor experience. We need to curate the editing experience, provide the appropriate guardrails to ensure that the content editor team can do their job in the CMS quickly and efficiently. We need to build the future of content editor interfaces on top of the block editor.
This session will help agencies, freelancers, and designers and developers better understand why they should put some attention to the content editor experience when building a new website, and what tools and tricks they should (or shouldn’t) turn to to do so. It will also help content editors know how to deliver feedback on their experience, by knowing what is possible to customize and what questions they should ask.
