Content Modeling Best Practices

Principles for designing structured content that's flexible, reusable, and maintainable. These concepts apply to any headless CMS but include Sanity-specific implementation notes.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Starting a new project and designing the content model
  • Evaluating whether content should be structured or free-form
  • Deciding between references and embedded content
  • Planning for multi-channel content delivery
  • Refactoring existing content structures

Core Principles

  1. Content is data, not pages — Structure content for meaning, not presentation
  2. Single source of truth — Avoid content duplication
  3. Future-proof — Design for channels that don't exist yet
  4. Editor-centric — Optimize for the people creating content

References

Start with the reference that matches the modeling decision in front of you, instead of loading every topic at once. See references/ for detailed guidance on specific topics:

  • references/separation-of-concerns.md — Separating content from presentation
  • references/reference-vs-embedding.md — When to use references vs embedded objects
  • references/content-reuse.md — Content reuse patterns and the reuse spectrum
  • references/taxonomy-classification.md — Flat, hierarchical, and faceted classification
