How to structure the content on the front page of a website using Sanity.io.

Hello!
I'm implementing this very standard web site, with a front page, some products and a few topic pages.

How should I structure the content on the front page? In particular, there's this intro title and heading that I can't think of a place to put. I have a content type for products, and one for topics. I have a site settings content type, and a generic texts content type. Should I add another one? What should it be?

Hi User, this would be a good question to post in content-modelling as well if you like. I’d say there are a few ways you can go here. You could create a singleton document for the front page and make it a kind of unique schema in your content model, which would give you plenty of freedom to specifically take care of the front page.
Alternatively, and more in line with the structured content philosophy, you could also create a generic

page

type document and let editors add various ‘modules’ to a

content

array field, for example. These modules can be reusable objects for the different pieces of content you’d like people to add to the pages.
If you already have a content type for texts, you could also choose to set up an array of references to those instead, but something like that could also live with other options in the content array above.

Hope this gives some ideas - for deep input, check the other channel

Maybe this can give you some inspirationStudio for this site

I would start with title, remember that you may need both page title and tab title, if you handle slugs through sanity you also need that for all the pages

(Thanks User! Love the icons for Header/Footer btw 😄🧦)

This is exactly what I ended up doing. And I think - at some point, it made Sanity as a CMS for these kinds of sites really click for me.

I'm back in love with Sanity now, thanks!

great page User ❤️

and thanks for the tip about content-modelling - I'll head over there right away
