Article Management (Home Article) Page


- What the Article Management (Home Article) Page Is
 

The Article Management (Home Article) Page is a dedicated content control center used to manage all articles that appear 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 formatted

  • Supports multiple languages (English & Hebrew)

  • Includes media (images or videos)

  • Is optimized for SEO

  • Is safely published and maintained
     

In simple terms:
 

This page decides what content visitors see on the website, how it looks, and in which language it appears.

 


 


- Why This Page Exists (Business Purpose)
 

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 article creation, editing, previewing, and deletion

  • Protect public content through restricted access
     

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



- What This Page Is Used For (Real-World Usage)
 

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 SEO keywords

  • Previewing articles before public release

  • Removing outdated or incorrect content
     

Every article visible to the public must pass through this page first.
 



- Overall Page Experience & Visual Philosophy
 

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

Key principles:
 

  • Minimal distractions

  • Clear action buttons

  • Modal-based editing to avoid navigation loss

  • Immediate feedback after actions
     

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



- Articles List – The Content Control Table
 

At the heart of the page is a structured data table that lists all existing home articles.
 

Each row represents one published or draft article.
 

From this table, administrators can:
 

  • Identify articles quickly

  • Understand their content at a glance

  • Take action instantly
     

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 manageable workflow, rather than a guessing game.
 



- Creating & 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 quick open → edit → save → close cycles
     



- Multi-Language Content (English & Hebrew)
 

One of the most important features of this page is true multi-language support.
 

Each article contains:
 

  • English title, description, and content

  • Hebrew title, description, and content
     

This ensures:
 

  • Correct language display on the website

  • Proper RTL/LTR formatting

  • No need to duplicate articles
     

The editor automatically adapts:
 

  • 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)

  • Insert images inside 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 formatting exactly as intended.
 



- Image & Video Support – Visual Storytelling
 

Each article can include either an image or a video.
 

This enables:
 

  • Visual engagement on the homepage

  • Rich article previews

  • Multimedia storytelling
     

How Media Is Managed
 

  • Files are uploaded securely

  • Stored on a centralized 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 & Discoverability
 

Meta keywords allow administrators to define:
 

  • How search engines understand the article

  • How content is categorized internally
     

Keywords are:
 

  • Language-specific

  • Managed via a tag-style input

  • Easy to add, remove, or modify
     

This gives marketing teams direct SEO control without developer involvement.
 



- Viewing Articles – Safe Previewing
 

Before publishing or sharing an article publicly, users can:
 

1️⃣ Preview Inside the System
 

  • View full article in a read-only modal

  • Check formatting, text, images, and videos
     

2️⃣ View on Public Website
 

  • Open the live article page in a new tab

  • See exactly what visitors see
     

This dual viewing approach prevents:
 

  • Broken layouts

  • Language mistakes

  • Publishing errors
     



- Deleting Articles – Clean & Safe Removal
 

Deleting an article:
 

  • Removes it from the database

  • Deletes its image/video file

  • Instantly updates the table
     

A confirmation prompt ensures:
 

  • No accidental deletions

  • Content safety
     

This keeps both the database and file storage clean and organized.



- Pagination – Performance at Scale
 

As articles grow in number, pagination ensures:
 

  • Fast page load times

  • Smooth navigation

  • Clear organization
     

Only a limited number of articles load at once, making the page scalable and responsive.
 



- Access Control – Content Protection
 

This page is restricted to specific administrative users only.
 

Why this matters:
 

  • Prevents unauthorized content changes

  • Protects public website integrity

  • Ensures editorial responsibility
     

Only trusted users can:
 

  • Create

  • Edit

  • Publish

  • Delete articles
     

This makes the page suitable for production environments.
