I was thinking it would be interesting to have a place to share some of the methods we use when setting up our sites as a way to learn from each other. I will start with something that works well for me...
I created a single page editor called something like "Global Items". This editor includes a wide variety of common items that are used throughout the site, so example:
- Company Name
- Address info
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Social Media URLs
- Copyright statement for footer
- Google Analytics code
- Media Contact info
As well as one-off items that I frequently need...
- "Thanks for contacting us..." message
- "Sorry, there are no jobs currently available" message
Then I connect to this editor on every single page of the site, which allows me to use these items as needed.
