Overview Summary
The Challenge
Seattle Study Club needed a scalable website to support a growing global community of dental professionals. The platform had to manage high volumes of dynamic content—clubs, educational events, resources, and partnership landing pages—while enabling non-technical teams to work independently.
Objectives
- Increase membership and partnership engagement through improved content discovery
- Enable marketing teams to publish and update content independently
- Support content growth without structural rebuilds
- Ensure brand consistency across all content types
- Reduce long-term maintenance costs through reusable systems
Solution
I prioritized systems architecture over individual page design, focusing on scalability and reusability. Before building, I mapped relationships between partners, clubs, courses, and events to inform the CMS structure. Built a reusable component library that assembled into templates, ensuring consistency and reducing build time. Partner pages used flexible sections editors could toggle on/off, eliminating the need for dozens of unique templates. Clear labels, helper text, and validation enabled non-technical teams to work independently.
Key Features
- Self-Service CMS: Marketing teams gained complete content autonomy through intuitive field structures, helper text, and validation.
- Automated Partner Pages: New partners launch instantly through form completion—no page building required.
- Connected Content: Clubs surface relevant locations; partners display sections, products, and testimonials through bidirectional relationships.
Results
Users gained improved discovery through filtering and search across clubs, courses, and partnerships. The component architecture eliminated visual inconsistencies while supporting 10x content growth without structural changes or performance degradation.
