Working on a Content Management System for a client these days. It’s in its very initial stage.

Mission Statement

• Bridge the conventional CMS workspace and user-end interface gap by closely integrating CMS functions with the user-end interface
• Save user time and make the application faster by avoiding extra clicks and page loads
• Empower user by providing as many choices with less and only necessary control
• Keep the application simple and generic so it could be potentially converted into a product or used in any other project later on
• Obvious but still: Make the application user-friendly

Goals & Objectives

The following goals and objectives will be achieved during the interaction design:
• Rich content formatting flexibility
• Content layout flexibility (e.g. paragraphs, lists, tables)
• Tighter control over content margins, spacing and wraps
• Facility to manage multiple types of inline and linked content (e.g. text, flash, audio, video and downloadable files)
• Multiple content templates
• Drag and drop facility
• Contextual and global navigation
• Preview facility
• Log and undo/rollback facility
• Approval cycle workflow with facility to manage user rolls and policies
• Flexible site structure management (i.e. management of navigation, pages & sections)
