Articles Management (Home Page Article) Page


- What is the Article Management Page (Homepage Article)
 

The Article Management Page (Homepage Article) is a dedicated content control center used to manage all articles appearing on the public-facing website.
 

This page is not a simple blog editor.

It is a structured content publishing system designed to ensure that every article:
 

  • Is professionally written and designed

  • Supports multiple languages (English and Hebrew)

  • Includes media (images or videos)

  • Is optimized for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

  • Is published and maintained securely
     

In simple words:
 

This page determines what content visitors will see on the site, how it will look, and in which language it will appear.

 


 


- Why this page exists (Business Goal)
 

Modern websites rely on fresh, structured, and searchable content to:
 

  • Build trust with visitors

  • Improve SEO rankings

  • Communicate updates, news, and knowledge

  • Support marketing and branding efforts
     

Managing such content directly in code or databases is risky and inefficient.
 

This page exists to:
 

  • Give non-technical administrators full control over website articles

  • Ensure content consistency across languages

  • Centralize the creation, editing, previewing, and deletion of articles

  • Protect public content through restricted access
     

It transforms website content management into a safe and controlled editorial workflow.
 



- What this page is used for (Real-World Use)
 

This page is typically used by:
 

  • Website administrators

  • Content editors

  • Marketing teams

  • SEO managers
     

Daily tasks include:
 

  • Publishing new homepage articles

  • Updating existing content

  • Replacing images or videos

  • Optimizing keywords for SEO

  • Previewing articles before public publication

  • Removing outdated or incorrect content
     

Any publicly visible article must pass through this page first.
 



- Overall Page Experience and Visual Philosophy
 

The design follows a clean CMS-style layout focusing on clarity and safety.
 

Key principles:
 

  • Minimum distractions

  • Clear action buttons

  • Modal-based editing to prevent navigation loss

  • Instant feedback after actions
     

This ensures that content managers can work confidently and efficiently, even without technical knowledge.
 



- Article List – The Content Control Table
 

At the heart of the page is a structured data table listing all existing homepage articles.
 

Each row represents one published article or draft.
 

From this table, administrators can:
 

  • Quickly identify articles

  • Understand their content at a glance

  • Act immediately
     

What the table communicates instantly
 

  • Which articles exist

  • What their titles are

  • What short description they have

  • Whether they include images or videos

  • Which keywords they target

  • What actions can be taken
     

This turns content management into a visual and easy-to-manage workflow, instead of a guessing game.
 



- Creating and Editing Articles – The Editorial Workspace
 

Clicking Add Article or Edit opens a rich, full-featured modal editor.
 

This modal is the editorial workspace, where real content creation happens.
 

Why a modal editor?
 

  • Keeps the user on the same page

  • Prevents accidental navigation loss

  • Allows for quick open ← edit ← save ← close cycles
     



- Multilingual Content (English and Hebrew)
 

One of the most important features of this page is true multilingual support.
 

Each article contains:
 

  • Title, description, and content in English

  • Title, description, and content in Hebrew
     

This ensures:
 

  • Correct language display on the website

  • Appropriate RTL/LTR formatting

  • No need to duplicate articles
     

The editor automatically adjusts:
 

  • English ← LTR (Left-to-Right)

  • Hebrew ← RTL (Right-to-Left)
     

This is critical for bilingual or multilingual websites.
 



✍️ Rich Text Editing – Professional Content Creation
 

The long description fields use CKEditor, providing a professional writing experience similar to Word or Google Docs.
 

Editors can:
 

  • Format text (bold, italic, headings)

  • Add images within the content

  • Embed YouTube videos

  • Add links and lists
     

This allows articles to be:
 

  • Visually rich

  • Easy to read

  • Professionally structured
     

All content is saved as HTML, preserving the formatting exactly as designed.
 



- Image and Video Support – Visual Storytelling
 

Each article can include an image or video.
 

This allows for:
 

  • Visual engagement on the homepage

  • Rich article previews

  • Multimedia storytelling
     

How media is managed
 

  • Media files are securely uploaded

  • Stored on a central file server

  • Previewed before saving

  • Automatically removed if the article is deleted
     

This ensures the website remains clean, fast, and free of unused files.
 



- Meta Keywords – SEO and Discoverability
 

Meta keywords allow administrators to define:
 

  • How search engines understand the article

  • How content is internally categorized
     

Keywords are:
 

  • Language-specific

  • Managed via tag-style input

  • Easy to add, remove, or modify
     

This gives marketing teams direct control over SEO without developer involvement.
 



- Article Display – Safe Preview
 

Before publicly publishing or sharing an article, users can:
 

1️⃣ In-system preview
 

  • View the full article in a read-only modal

  • Check formatting, text, images, and videos
     

2️⃣ View on the public website
 

  • Open the live article page in a new tab

  • See exactly what visitors see
     

This dual viewing approach prevents:
 

  • Broken layouts

  • Language errors

  • Publishing mistakes
     



- Deleting Articles – Clean and Safe Removal
 

Deleting an article:
 

  • Removes it from the database

  • Deletes its image/video file

  • Updates the table instantly
     

A confirmation message ensures:
 

  • No accidental deletions

  • Content safety
     

This keeps the database and file storage clean and organized.



- Pagination – Performance at Scale
 

As the number of articles grows, pagination ensures:
 

  • Fast page load times

  • Smooth navigation

  • Clear organization
     

Only a limited number of articles are loaded simultaneously, making the page scalable and responsive.
 



- Access Control – Content Protection
 

This page is restricted to specific administrative users only.
 

Why this is important:
 

  • Prevents unauthorized content changes

  • Protects the integrity of the public website

  • Ensures editorial accountability
     

Only trusted users can:
 

  • Create

  • Edit

  • Publish

  • Delete articles
     

This makes the page suitable for production environments.<
