Business Blekinge - built with Statamic CMS for simple content work

Region Blekinge together with the county's five municipalities runs Business Blekinge. They previously had a site built in WordPress with a page builder at the core, but found it difficult to manage and complicated to maintain and create content. Together with our partner BBDO, we were asked to modernise both the design and the CMS setup.

Easy-to-use CMS

To make content management simpler and move to more modern technology, Statamic was chosen as the CMS. A clear structure and an efficient content model make the site fast and smooth to use.

Ready-made content templates

The site contains several different content types. For each of them, we created ready-made templates that ensure content always follows the right structure for that type, making the result consistent and easier for editors to work with.

Accessible and search-friendly

With a CMS built on modern technology, the work of making the site accessible and search-engine friendly became much smoother. That helps more people access the content and makes it easier for search engines to find the site.

Process

Together with BBDO, a meeting was held with Business Blekinge to gather wishes and requirements for the new site. We at Itiden then worked closely with BBDO's digital designer to create a solution that matched both the level of ambition and the budget.

To keep development efficient, a Figma sketch was created in which all blocks, fields and configuration options were declared. That allowed us to build the site efficiently and without misunderstandings, while also keeping the editors' perspective in focus.

Frequent check-ins with the whole project group helped us stay focused on the right priorities and ensured Business Blekinge always knew what was being developed and how it worked.

At the end of development, we carried out the tests we always perform, including accessibility and performance testing. Necessary adjustments were made, and before the content work began we held a training session for the editors who now work in the CMS.

Working with Itiden has worked very well throughout the process. The dialogue has felt safe and clear, the team has been attentive to our needs and agile in making adjustments along the way. They have a strong focus on quality and are excellent at collaboration, which has resulted in a modern and stable website that gives us great opportunities to continue developing Business Blekinge's digital presence.
