Collect Content

The problem

Content for a website tends to get made across email threads, shared documents and a spreadsheet of deadlines. Collect Content was my side project to bring that together in one place: the brief, the files, the deadline and a record of who did what. It was meant for copywriters and the marketing teams that hire them.

Approach

The concept and the design are mine, and I built the front-end. There are two parts. The marketing site has five menu items, Mogelijkheden, Prijzen, Over ons, Kennisbank and Blog, with a sign-up for the beta as the main button. The app has five sections: dashboard, projects, tasks, planning and settings. Each project is a card with its team and two counts, open tasks and overdue tasks, the second one in red. A task opens as a short brief addressed to the writer, with the attachments below it. Underneath is a timeline that logs who created the task, who it went to and when the status changed. Planning is a month calendar with the tasks due per day.

Outcome

I got as far as the marketing site and a full set of app screens. To me the timeline is the useful part: it shows where a piece stands without anyone having to ask.

What changed

• A marketing site with the beta sign-up as the main action.
• An app in five sections, from dashboard to settings.
• Project cards that show open and overdue tasks.
• A timeline on every task with who did what and when.
