Problem
Editing and adding content to content management systems (CMS) while on the go can be cumbersome, often requiring individuals to pull out their laptop to make updates to their blog, website, or other digital properties. This friction point discourages timely content updates and negatively impacts productivity for busy professionals.
Solution
CMS.Go aims to solve this painpoint by providing a seamless, intuitive mobile interface for editing and adding CMS content. The app allows users to effortlessly update their digital properties right from their smartphone, without feeling restricted by the limitations of mobile devices.
Key Features

Framer CMS Integration: CMS.Go supports direct integration with the popular Framer CMS, enabling users to manage their Framer collections on the go.
-
Intuitive Editor: The app provides a clean, user-friendly editor for drafting blog posts and other content. The editor supports rich text formatting, images, and a focused writing experience optimised for mobile.

Design Process
The design of CMS.Go focused on creating an intuitive, uncluttered user experience that streamlines common CMS editing tasks for mobile devices. The interface leverages familiar mobile design patterns and prioritises the most essential features for on-the-go content management.
Prototype testing with users validated the core app concept and uncovered opportunities to refine the user flow and feature set. The visual design employs a clean, modern aesthetic that puts content front and centre.
Outcome
Although CMS.Go did not advance beyond the initial design stage, the prototype demonstrates the potential for a dedicated mobile experience to enhance the productivity and flexibility of managing digital content. By enabling seamless CMS editing on smartphones, CMS.Go aims to empower individuals and teams to keep their blogs, websites, and other properties fresh and up-to-date, no matter where they are.
