Hey there,
I'm working for a company that wants me to recreate their style-guide with Couch. The design team is supposed to be able to edit the pages and edit the content completely without the need of HTML knowledge. The site should essentially have the same functionality as http://www.frontify.com, where you can add multiple elements like rich text, images or even a font showreel.
I'm pretty new to couch, so I'm not sure how to build this. One possibility would be to set up a different page for each topic, so e.g. a separate template for the sub-page "Logos" and a separate template for "Colors" and one for "Fonts" etc. This seems a) rather tedious and b) even those pages would need to be fully customizable, i.e. the user needs to be able to add as many elements as he wants. So I was wondering if there's a way to just have one page-template where you can just add as many elements of different kinds (which would of course be pre-defined by the dev, me) as you want.
I've tried implementing something like this with repeatables, but the only way that would work for me is to add all the possible element templates to the repeatable and that way the admin section is awfully bloated, see screenshot.
Is there a way to smoothly implement this kind of functionality or is it a better idea to just create a site for each topic and have smaller repeatables in those?
Thanks in advance,
Luke
