How CMS Hub Helps You Stay On-Brand at Scale
The Brand Consistency Playbook in CMS Hub
Use this framework to scale content production without sacrificing brand standards.
Define → Systematize → Lock → Empower → Monitor → Evolve
- Define your digital brand system: Translate your brand guidelines into
: typography stack, color tokens, spacing scale, button styles, form treatments, iconography, and content patterns. - Systematize with themes & templates: Build a CMS Hub theme and a small library of
(homepage, solutions, industries, resources, landing pages) that encode your brand system in code and layout. - Lock core elements, flex the rest: Use
for logo usage, navigation, and structural elements while giving content owners freedom to edit text, images, and CTAs within guardrails. - Empower marketers with reusable modules: Create drag-and-drop modules for hero sections, proof bands, comparison tables, FAQs, and CTAs so teams can assemble new pages quickly without design drift.
- Monitor for brand drift: Regularly review new and high-traffic pages. Use internal checklists and spot audits to catch off-brand colors, typography, or messaging early.
- Evolve the system centrally: When the brand evolves, update your theme, global modules, and templates once—allowing the new look and feel to roll out consistently without page-by-page rework.
