Content Management System (CMS)
DataScience9 CMS is a production-ready, block-based content management platform for public-sector and enterprise websites — role-based editorial workflows, full-text search across pages and PDFs, multilingual publishing, and SEO tooling, all editable by non-technical staff without a developer.
Live demonstration environments
airport.ds9products.com
A responsive public site built entirely from CMS content — 71 migrated pages, navigation, alerts, and search, in English, Spanish, French, and Chinese.
CMS Admin Platformcms.ds9products.com
The editorial platform behind the site above — role-based access, the five-stage editorial workflow, the block-based page editor, navigation management, and site alerts.
Block-based visual page builder
7 reusable content blocks — Hero, Rich Text, FAQ Accordion, Split Section, Content Slider, Contact Band, Call-to-Action Band — assembled, reordered, and edited visually. No HTML knowledge required.
Five-stage editorial workflow
Draft → In Review → Approved → Published → Archived, enforced server-side on every endpoint. A guided action bar keeps unreviewed content off the public site until a designated reviewer approves it.
Multilingual from the ground up
A locale-aware content model with translation-group linkage across a page's language variants — AI-assisted translation with a review step, not a bolt-on plugin.
Phased implementation timeline
Discovery & IA confirmation
Content and information-architecture audit of the existing site; accessibility gap assessment against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA; stakeholder interviews to translate operational needs into content model and workflow configuration.
Design & CMS configuration
Finalize the visual design system; configure page templates, navigation menus, taxonomies, and languages in the CMS; stand up a staging environment.
Content migration & integration
Migrate existing pages, posts, directories, and the documents library into the CMS; wire third-party integrations; build out public-facing forms.
Accessibility & QA
Full WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA audit and remediation pass across every migrated page; cross-browser and mobile QA; security review; documented conformance report.
Training, UAT & go-live
Role-based CMS training for editors and reviewers; staff user-acceptance testing on staging; DNS cutover with legacy URL redirects and launch hypercare.

Built for regulated, public-facing sites
