- 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Removing outdated or incorrect content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.
