About this project¶
We designed this product when we noticed there was a need for easy to use guides that communities can design on their own. Currently a lot of CMS solutions require a lot of setup and management – we wanted to streamline this to a simple design that could cover a lot of civic use cases.
This CMS is used to provide a user with a clear set of steps they can take to accomplish a goal and get connected to the right community resources to achieve that goal.
How can I use this?¶
Guides need to be as specific as possible to have the most success – try to design for one user persona. There should be a clear goal to your website that results in getting the user more connected to their local community.
We’ve identified some possible use cases:
- Jobseeker guides
- Emergency response plans
- Starting a small business
- Entering the community after prison
- Immigrating to your community
Some of these have templates you can use to get a jump start on filling out the content.
