It decouples the presentation from the management of the content (which is where the term “decoupled” comes from in popular modern CMS products). I’m a big fan of this model of running a build which pulls content from various feeds and sources, and then mashes them together with a template to generate the HTML of a website. Anyone editing content in a Trello card is able to apply basic text formatting and have the same Markdown flow into the site and transformed into HTML by a build process. Trello uses Markdown, which comes in handy here. Each section is populated by the title and description fields of a card in our Trello board. It gets its content from this Trello board and that content is displayed in sections. Why not use it as a content source for a web site? I mean, hey, if we can do it with Google Sheets, then what’s to stop us from trying other things? Hello, Trello I like Trello a lot for managing ideas and tasks. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to use a really simple tool that anyone updating content on the site is already familiar with, rather than getting to grips with a new CMS. Thankfully, it is a very different world to the one that used to force companies to splash out a ga-jillionty-one dollars (not an exact cost: I rounded to the nearest bazillion) for an all-singing, all-dancing, all-integrating, all-personalizing, big-enterprise-certified™ CMS platform. The CMS market is thriving with affordable, approachable products, so we’re not short of options. Sometimes our sites need a little sprinkling of content management.
