Introduction to Core dna Platform [Video]

Core dna is built as a multi-tenant platform. All users of Core dna login from a single login screen. 

A multi-tenant architecture such as Core dna means that all users and applications share a single, common infrastructure and code base that is centrally maintained.

Because Core dna clients are all on the same infrastructure and code base, Core dna can innovate more quickly and save the valuable development time previously spent on maintaining numerous versions of outdated code.

SaaS application such as Core dna provide access to data from any networked device while making it easier to manage privileges, monitor data use and ensure everyone sees the same information at the same time. You can work with a team in real time with out conflicts. 

With the SaaS model, you can customize with point-and-click ease, making the weeks or months it takes to update traditional business software seem hopelessly old-fashioned.

Different from the traditional model, Core dna is a fully managed solution, meaning the application comes fully ready to use and a new website can be up in minutes. This reduces the time spent in installation and configuration and can reduce the issues that can get in the way of the software deployment.

For many organizations the need for a Content Management System (CMS) boils down to two main factors;

1. Internal pressure: the desire to easily create and manage content in a more efficient manner and an awareness that solutions are available (at a price that is not preventative to using them)
2. Legislation: As across the globe governments are tackling the accessibility of information and forcing organizations to comply.

However, it is important to recognize that CMS solutions themselves have also evolved to the point where they are now:

• Genuinely easy to use
• Easier to deploy with pre-built, modular applications
• Stable products that are constantly developed by dedicated developers 
• Less costly (which in turn improves the return on investment)
• Standards enforcing - so that the legislative requirements can be met using the tools
• Strategically significant to organizations operations.

Core dna is a unified digital platform that combines content management, ecommerce, integrations, and workflow orchestration in one system. Instead of stitching together separate CMS tools, commerce engines, and middleware, Core dna brings those capabilities into a single platform that teams can manage and extend from one place.

In practical terms, that means businesses can run their website, online store, member portal, learning platform, or multi-site ecosystem without maintaining multiple vendors or complex integrations. Content, products, users, and workflows all live in the same environment.

The goal is simple: reduce operational complexity while giving teams the flexibility to build custom digital experiences without assembling a large stack of third-party tools.

If you want a quick visual walkthrough of how the platform works, you can watch the overview here:

A 7-minute overview on deploying to different environments on Core dna.

Video transcription: How to Deploy to Different Environments on Core dna

So in this video we're going to see how development is done on coordinate by front end teams. The coordinate platform is completely decoupled from the UX. So front end development teams can actually build complex front end users lined interactions for customers while being able to use standardized language to talk to Core dna.

I've just logged into an IDE, just a normal IDE. And what you'll notice about this on the left hand side is a structure of how this particular site, this demonstration site that we're working from, is structured.

You'll see that it has assets that are there. It'll have the modules which are the Core dna applications that are being used. It will have a templates directory where we have the base templates. It'll have a template directory which is where the compile templates go.

It may have a web images directory. You'll see the node modules has been installed as we'll be using Gulp in this particular project to build out our JavaScript and we'll have our source JavaScript and then finally we'll have a distribution JavaScript.

So as a developer you can establish your own environment the way you'd like to work on it. And as long as you stay within the standards of the modules directory, the web images and the template directory, then your site should function normally. 

In addition, what you'll also notice down the righthand side here is that this site is connected to the Git repo. And it's a very straightforward approach to once you have either use ours or use your own repo, you're able to look at all the remote branches, all the different branches that have been developed for this website, and you're able to create new branches and check out branches. 

So Core dna has complete integration into Git and offers you the ability to push your changes to a QA environment for testing and then to merge those changes into production. But before you kind of get into the QA environments and pushing to the repos and all that, most developers just want to be able to quickly develop.

  And what Core dna has is a SFTP environment development environment that we've established. And it's very simple to configure. You go down to deployment, you can go down to configure and you can establish your connection to the host. 

You can set up your mappings for how you want the site to map, and you can then establish it as a connection. So really, to deploy to those environments is very simple. You make a change to a site. So I'm going to go into a site here, and I'm going to update this tag here to say Sam was here, and all we do is save. 

And you'll notice that the changes are sent instantaneously to our dev server. And when we look at the environment, we can see here that if we press refresh on the dev environment, all of a sudden now Sam was here on the dev environment, and if we want to remove it, it's a simple case of just removing the content. 

And it will automatically transfer and then just press refresh and the change will be gone. So in this way, developers can quickly create UX's and themes and solutions for their customers in a very localized approach. 

And then when they're ready, they can then push those changes into production. And so we have here the production version of the Media Center and you'll notice that it has a number of similar directories. 

You'll see here is the source files we can return and then we have the all JS files. We then have the modules that are being used and they generally mimic the modules that are here. Now, once a developer is ready to push their changes into testing, they're able to then come to their IDE and do a commit and a push. 

And what happens then is through the use of webhooks, Core dna is able to then apply those changes to the production environment. If we take a longer look at the repo itself, we're able to see that this keeps all the commits that you do. 

And so this hasn't been updated in a number of months, but we can actually go into those commits and have a look at what were the changes, what exactly changed, and if we want to, we can actually back those changes out. 

In addition, we can see all the branches that are currently available and at what progress these branches are in terms of the master branch. So we can actually switch between them. We can also see the pull request that have occurred and so on. 

So all the sites that you work on actually can be found here and you're able to navigate between them. You could do a you can go into a site, clone the site, pull it down, it then becomes available in your IDE, and you can begin work either by doing a deploy to your deploy environment or by doing a commit and push for small changes straight through to your Bitbucket account.  The IDE itself supports the inclusion of Git. It's very simple to set up and also includes the ability to deploy. So as long as your server or your ID can support it, you can then use Core dna to develop out of the box.

A 10-minute overview about Pages app on Core dna. Learn about configuration, permissions, setup, and many more via the Core dna DXP admin.

Video transcription

Welcome to the Coordinate Pages application.

Through this video, we will explore how the Pages application can be used to create content for your website. We'll then look at the Admin interface to see how Pages actually works. And then we'll deep dive from a technical standpoint to see how the Pages application can be built. 

So the Pages application is one of the most commonly used applications within Core dna.

When you scroll down a page, most likely the Pages application is being used to render the content, whether it be Video content, image Content or different types of components within the site. 

The Page's content also has the ability for us to create what we call Style Guides, which are the various components that we create for our website user to use. In this case here we can see the variety of components that have been constructed for that particular site.

The Pages component also can have content that comes in from other parts of the website. So as we scroll down the bottom here, we can see two blogs that have been posted inside the Style Guide. And when you click on them, it takes you into the Blog Posts area.

So how does the Pages module work? Well, let's log into Core dna.

The Pages application sits within the Content family over on the right. So when we kick off the Pages application, it serves two major functions. The first one, it provides the various navigations for the different parts of the system. And secondly, it provides the content. So when we look to the left, we can see here the main navigation pane which highlights Insights, Editors, Reader Group, Resources and Sample Page.

If we go back to our website, we'll notice media room, insights, resources and sample page. There are a number of menu options missing. The reason for this is one of the first features of the Page's module is its ability to segment content. So if we click on the Editors page, we can go across the top and see the Authority tab. The Authority tab is what allows us to segment content.

When we look down the Authority tab, we can see the major components. Firstly, we have what we call Inherited Access. Inherit Access tells the system to go to the parent and look for the access control at the parent. In this case, we've unclick the Inherit Access and by default, if we don't know who you are, you won't see the page. So, because we don't know who's logged in, the system will not show this particular page.

If, however, you're part of the Editor Group, you will have all access to this page. So let's see this. In practice, we go over to the login, we log in as Editor and now we'll find the Editors page. 

When we log out of the system, the system will say no editors Page. This is a really cool feature that can actually allow you to create multiple segments and you can see here, we've used it for the reader group, and within the reader group, we've broken it down into internal readers, external readers and common content.

One of the other features of the Pages application is its ability to create multiple menus. And so here when we look down the main navigation bar, we can also see the footer navigation, which corresponds to the bottom of the page, and the info navigation, which is used somewhere within the system to provide linkages. 

We can also create what we call landing pages. Landing pages are the ones that we define, that customers are sent to and may not see a menu or may want to have specific content that's part of a promotion or a campaign that we may be running. So let's go back to the home page.

Now, the Page's application allows you to put content in many as forms. In the details page. You can see here that we can create content. We have publishing settings. We also have some custom fields that we've created to provide us some tagging. 

In addition, we have the SEO button across the top. This allows us to create focused keywords, the metadata and meta description, and also the social media overrides that we may want to put in place for when people copy the page. 

We've spoken about the Authority module. We then also have what we call Linked Content. Linked Content provide us the ability to create components that are linked to other parts of the system.

I won't go into too much detail into this application. It's part of the application as I'll cover some other areas in terms of attachments. So attachments in this particular implementation of Pages is the way that the site is created. And what we can see here is all the different components that have been created for the page to render. 

So as we go through, we'll see we have the top image, which is a hero full.

We have tapped content. Further down, we have posts by tags from the blogs. And if we go back to the home page of the site, we'll notice that there's the Hero, there's your Tabbed Content. And then these are the posts from your blog posts. And we can continue to build these pages for as far as we like.

Editing these pages very easy. Just press the edit button. You asked for the title, you asked for a category. And we'll talk a little bit more about how we construct these categories. And these represent all the components.

We then have a link heading, and within here we can also have custom property. So here we've created some custom data, we've created some background colors, we've created some button colors and various other aspects that we want to run for the component.

Pages also has the ability for you to allocate layouts. So layouts are the different page layouts that you may want to construct. In this case, we have five different layouts, content layout, a features layout, default layout site, an XML layout and a pricing layout. And we can also see here we have the ID of the page and a Gui ID that can be used to transfer the page across sites from a share perspective, we also have the ability to share the page using social media as long as we configure the social elements that we need. 

Finally, the config area of the site allows us to configure the various aspects of managing the page's application.

So the first part is our Blueprints. Our blueprints are the descriptors for the different types of layouts that we have and also and are used within the layouts area. We also have the categories. So we saw these categories earlier. These are the definitions for the components that we create in the page and where they're actually used.

So here we can see the two column, three row blue is used in three pages or four pages and we can go and modify those pages. When we get into the technical aspect of Pages, we'll discover how the ID here is used within the coordinate system to connect the component to the actual descriptor. 

Here we can also manage properties and these are generally the custom fields for the pages. And here you can see the various dropdown types of properties that we've created for us to use within the categories. And we also have the layouts.

And the layouts allow us to connect the layout file and give it a description so we can use it within the system. Finally, we have the manage configuration. 

So manage configuration throughout the system is where we can extend the platform or provide features to the platform that customers have asked for in the past that allow us to set the application up in a way that makes sense for our use. And you can see here that we have various elements. For example, takeover pages.

We may have an upgrade that we've done, we may have metadata that we want to apply and also some SEO bits. That's the first part of our discussion on the Pages application.

What is Metadata?

Metadata is the internet version of the label on your food. This information and characteristics help  structure and categorize content to make it easily searchable and retrievable. It can be a web page, document, image,  product listing, video etc..

Why is Metadata important?

Improved Search & Discovery: Adding relevant metadata to your content will enable search engines to understand more about the content and categorize it properly. It enhances how search engines and internal platforms retrieve relevant information. It also enhances SEO in that the metadata such as meta titles and meta descriptions determine how your page will be displayed in the search engine result pages and in most cases determines the click-through rates (CTR).

Data Consistency: Standardized and consistent naming conventions, tags and descriptions are necessary to keep an organized content library.

Personalization: Rich metadata can help you create  powerful personalized experiencesby matching user profiles to the most relevant content, products, or services.

Key Benefits of Using Metadata Effectively

Better Content Management

Having a clear metadata allows the  editors and the marketers to be able to locate and update the content easily which improves the rate of publication.

Structured Content

This is because content is organized through metadata fields such as author, date, topic or region, therefore enabling the structured data for content reuse across different channels.

Analytics & Insights

This is because with strong metadata, analytics platforms are able to give a better analysis of the  content performance since they can sort data by tags, categories or product IDs.

Compliance & Governance

In sectors that require strong data compliance (for example, finance, healthcare), complete metadata of documents and records is vital for meeting regulatory requirements.

Descriptive, Structural, Administrative Metadata

Descriptive Metadata

These are the details or description of the content (e.g., title, author, keywords).

Mostly used in  SEO (meta titles, meta descriptions) or in the media libraries (image alt text, captions).

Structural Metadata

Describes the organization or relationship of content (e.g., chapters in an eBook, sections in a website).

Help in navigating and linking pieces of content within a broader system.

Administrative Metadata

It focuses on the technical details and the management of the  content lifecycle (e.g., file size, creation date, usage rights). It is important to keep track of all the changes made in the content and for content governance. 

Schema Markup

This is a more technical form of metadata and refers to code that tells search engines about the structure of the page to help search engines better understand and display content in rich snippets. For example in the case of events, search engines will know where the ticket prices are, dates and other info.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Metadata Affect SEO?

Metadata such as meta titles and descriptions, alt text influences how search engines interpret your content. When you optimize your metadata with the keywords you are targeting and the right description, you can boost your content’s visibility, and click-through rate. .

What’s the Difference Between Tags and Metadata?

While all tags are metadata, not all metadata are tags. When you use tags to categorize or label content, you are using a form of meta data. 

Meta data can be either 3 Descriptive ( the alt text of an image of the meta description of a blog), Administrative ( tags, user rights etc) and structural ( this is more technical and generally used in machine processing) 

How Can Metadata Improve Personalization?

By adding more specific properties (audience, topic or user segment) to your content, personalization engines can suggest to users the most relevant content or products based on their profiles and behaviors.

Do I Need Special Tools to Manage Metadata?

Hopefully not. If you are using a good  content management system, it should have integrated fields and workflows for content and files metadata management.

What is Content Modeling?

Content modeling is a digital context is the process that defines the structures and organizes all the different content types in a website or digital platform. This includes the structure of the content, the relationships between each, and the attributes. 

Basically, it is the blueprint for how content is created, stored, connected, and displayed. Content modeling should be approached as an ongoing process that needs to be done before, during, and after content creation. 

Whether you’re building a website, eCommerce platform, or content management system (CMS), content modeling helps ensure consistency, scalability, and efficiency.

Why Is Content Modeling Important?

A strong content model makes content creation more structured and predictable — which is especially critical for teams working on large websites or multi-channel digital experiences. 

It allows marketers, developers, and content creators to understand exactly what content types they have, how each piece of content should be structured, and how different pieces of content relate to one another.

Key Elements

• Content Types: These are the different categories of content that exist in your system — for example, blog posts, product pages, testimonials, case studies, or events.
• Content Fields: Each content type includes specific fields that define what information needs to be captured. For a blog post, fields might include title, author, body text, featured image, publication date, and tags.
• Relationships: Content models defines how different content types connect to each other. For example, products may relate to categories, blog posts may relate to authors, or case studies may relate to industries.
• Taxonomies: Taxonomies are structures for organizing content — like categories and tags — that help group related content together.

The Benefits of Content Modeling for eCommerce and CMS Platforms 

1. Consistent Content Creation

Content modeling creates templates that ensure every product page or blog post follows the same structure, making content creation faster and more reliable.

2. Scalable Content Management

As your website grows, a clear content model allows you to add new content types or fields without breaking your existing structure.

3. Improved Multi-Channel Delivery

If you’re distributing content across multiple channels (websites, apps, social media, digital displays), content modeling helps ensure content is structured for reuse and adapts easily across different formats.

4. Enhanced Collaboration

Marketers, designers, and developers can all work from the same playbook. Developers know how to structure databases and APIs, designers know what components are needed, and content creators know exactly what to provide.

5. SEO Optimization

A well-structured content model supports better metadata management, schema implementation, and internal linking — all of which improve SEO performance.

Content Models Before, During, and After Content Creation

A solid content model guides not just how content is structured but how it’s planned, created, and maintained over time. Here’s how content modeling plays a role at every stage of the content lifecycle:

Before Content Creation: Laying the Foundation

• Strategic Planning: Content modeling serves as the blueprint for your digital content strategy, outlining the types of content you'll produce, their purpose, and how they connect.
• Defining Content Types: Start by identifying the variety of content you’ll need — from blog articles and product pages to case studies and landing pages — and outlining what each type should include.
• Detailing Content Fields: For each content type, determine the key fields (such as headline, featured image, description, author, or tags) to ensure consistency and clarity. 
• Establishing Relationships: Map out how different content types link together. For example, blog posts might connect to author profiles or related articles, while product pages may link to categories or collections, improving navigation and user journeys.

During Content Creation: Maintaining Structure and Consistency

• Sticking to the Framework: Content creators can follow a clear model, making it easier to produce content that’s both structured and on-brand.
• Using Pre-Built Components: With reusable templates and modules based on the content model, content creation becomes faster and more efficient while ensuring uniform design and formatting.

• Continuous Improvement: The content model should evolve as you gather insights from creators and users, allowing you to refine content structures and meet changing needs.

After Content Creation: Managing and Evolving Content

• Organized Content Management: A well-structured model simplifies how you manage, organize, and deliver content across multiple platforms and channels.
• Auditing and Optimization: Regularly review your existing content to identify gaps, outdated materials, or opportunities for optimization, using your content model as a guide.
• Flexibility for Growth: As new content types or technologies emerge, a flexible content model allows for easy adjustments without starting from scratch.

Content Modeling in Headless CMS and Composable Commerce 

In headless CMS and composable commerce environments, content modeling is especially important. Since content delivery is decoupled from the front end, the content model ensures that content is flexible, API-ready, and can be served to multiple front-end channels like websites, mobile apps, and smart devices.

For composable commerce solutions, content models allows businesses to define product data, promotional content, and marketing assets in a structured way, making it easy to integrate with other platforms and services.

How Core dna Supports Content Modeling 

Core dna allows businesses to build flexible, scalable content models without complex development work. You can define content types, fields, relationships, and taxonomies through a user-friendly interface and adapt them as your needs evolve.

Core dna’s features include:

• Custom content types for blogs, products, landing pages, and more
• Flexible field creation (text, rich text, image, date, links, references)
• Relationship management between content types
• Easy integration with APIs for omnichannel delivery
• Schema and structured data support to enhance SEO

This structured yet flexible approach is especially valuable for organizations managing multiple websites or digital experiences from one platform.

Best Practices for Content Modeling

Plan before you build: Map out your content needs and future growth areas before defining your model.

• Stay flexible: Build for scalability — anticipate new fields or relationships you may need later.
• Use clear naming conventions: Make content types and fields intuitive for both technical and non-technical users.
• Document your model: Maintain documentation for your team to ensure everyone understands the structure and logic.

Regularly review and update: Your content model should evolve alongside your business goals and digital strategy.

Content modeling is the foundation of efficient content creation, management, and delivery. Whether you’re working with a traditional CMS, a headless CMS, or a composable commerce architecture, a clear and well-defined content model ensures consistency, scalability, and flexibility. 

Platforms like Core dna make content modeling easy, allowing businesses to adapt quickly to new content demands and deliver seamless digital experiences across all channels.
