Designers need to decide on spacing, typography, colours, container widths and how each component adapts across different screen sizes. Those decisions quickly add up. This level of control may look like flexibility, but it can quickly become another job. Editors are usually trying to add a case study, update a service, create a landing page or publish an Insight. The CMS should help them do that confidently, without expecting them to revisit decisions already made during the original design and development process.

The problem is that every additional option creates another decision. An unrestricted CMS can leave editors responsible for choices such as: When a website gives editors unrestricted control over layout and styling, it also gives them responsibility for keeping those choices consistent. One editor may use generous spacing between sections, while another prefers a tighter layout. Someone else may introduce a different background colour or heading treatment because it works on one particular page. None of those decisions may look serious on their own, but over time they add up. Similar pages begin to behave differently, new team members have to work out which options are safe to use and existing pages become harder to update because nobody is quite sure whether a choice was intentional.
