New Page as a Configurable Template
An editor will not require a developer help every time he needs to create a new page if pages are configurable.
Page Elements Simple Selection
It should be easy to change the block position on the page. Create a new one or delete redundant.
Bellow, there are two the most popular approaches:
Nested content
The nested content element is one of the most powerful components in Umbraco. It can be used for almost everything. The only limitation is that you can’t reuse and share blocks between pages.
This approach is also better for page speed since all content can be read with one step.
Blocks
Approach with blocks is often used when components could be reused or shared between pages.
Content Items Structure Should Follow the Menu Structure
Content items in Edit mode should repeat page positions in the menu.
Fields Order in Edit mode
Fields order in Admin should be in the same order as they are displayed on the website.
Notes in the Field’s Logic
Put informational notes for editors under each content field:
- Comments to describe the behaviour.
- Image Pickers should describe the recommended picture dimensions.
- Checkbox logic behaviour should be described.
Brandbook colours
Blocks and buttons colours should be configurable. Take a set of suggested colours from a brand book.
Rich Text Editor
RTE should support H1, H2, H3 headings and button styles.
Deactivate the elements you do not use and give proper styling to elements you operate with on public pages.
Email Templates
When web application has emails which should be sent to users It is handy when an editor can change an email template in Umbraco without asking a developer.
There are some fields like user first name and last name that are individual for each template. This can be handled through a string replace method in a code (ask a developer to set it up)
Superb Forms Builder Plugin
Forms Builder plugin allows creating forms that work well for both desktop and mobile devices.
