CTRL+CLICK CAST: CMS Markup & Templating with Allison Wagner

No matter what CMS you are working with, good templating is critical to the process. The underlying HTML and CSS structure not only provides the foundation for your CMS variables, but ensures the final output matches the intended design.

For the latest CTRL+CLICK CAST, Happy Cog’s Allison Wagner joins the show to offer best practices for CMS templating and front-end development. She shares her experiences templating for different CMSes, along with the lessons and best practices learned from those efforts. We talk efficiencies like building DRY, using modular conventions and CSS preprocessors. We also offer suggestions for dealing generated with markup from CMSes and add-ons, as well as approaches for allowing clients to access and modify markup. Tune in now!
