Uniform content modeling
Content modeling defines display-agnostic content types and the entries created from them. Experience modeling defines how content is displayed and composed via component definitions and patterns. Keep the two separate: this skill is about building content models that are reusable across presentations and channels.
Key principles
Model content, not presentation
Display concerns (layout, styling, variants) belong in component definitions and patterns, not content types.
Model classification once, deliberately
Classify with select fields or references to a classification content type — never free text. Pick one mechanism per classification and reuse it across types.
Model for findability
Fields you filter or sort on must use filterable field types. Blocks, asset, image URL, JSON, and link fields cannot be filtered by the Edge Delivery API — decide query requirements before choosing field types.
