From Rigid Templates to a Scalable, Self-Managed Content Platform

Manatt replaced a rigid, developer-dependent website with a modular, accessible platform that enables their team to manage content independently and scale across practices and profiles.

Project Goals

1

Centralize and Simplify Content Management

Enable internal teams to create and update content without relying on developers.

2

Improve Accessibility and User Experience

Ensure the platform meets accessibility standards while improving readability and navigation.

3

Build a Scalable Content Foundation

Support growth across practice areas, profiles, and thought leadership with a flexible system.

The Challenge

Manatt’s previous website relied on rigid templates and complex workflows that limited scalability and required developer support for even minor updates.

The firm needed a more flexible system that could support a large volume of content while improving accessibility and making it easier for internal teams to manage and publish content efficiently.

What We Built

Modular Design System

A system of 100+ reusable components that allows teams to build and update pages while maintaining consistency across the site.

Structured CMS in Kontent.ai

A flexible content model that supports cross-linking between practices, profiles, and insights, reducing redundancy and improving discoverability.

Accessibility-Driven Redesign

Improved layouts, contrast, and navigation to meet accessibility standards and enhance usability across the site.

Before

  • Rigid templates limiting flexibility
  • Developer dependency for content updates
  • Inconsistent structure across pages
  • Limited accessibility and usability

After

  • Modular system enabling flexible page creation
  • Self-managed content updates by internal teams
  • Consistent structure across all content types
  • Improved accessibility and user experience

Impact

  • 40% faster content publishing
  • 75% reduction in developer dependency
  • 20% increase in engagement
  • Improved accessibility across the entire site
  • Scalable foundation for ongoing content growth

The Result

Manatt now operates on a flexible platform that supports both scale and independence.

Their team can manage content across practices, profiles, and insights without developer support, while maintaining consistency, accessibility, and performance.
