FOR PRODUCT OWNERS

God View for your content

Your app copy is the main channel between you and your customers, but it's scattered across codebases and internal tools. Put everything in one place and control your product's tone and communication across the entire customer journey.

FOR PRODUCT TEAMS

Bye bye, engineering bottlenecks

Updating content shouldn't be an ordeal. And copy changes don't belong on an engineering backlog. Editmode gives your non-technical staff the power to make changes, allowing your engineers to focus on what they do best: writing software.

FOR DESIGNERS & ENGINEERS

Responsible Empowerment

With Editmode, the people building the software decide how much control to grant editors. Colors, sizing, spacing and formatting are disabled by default, and we don't expose any layout modifiers. No more "Oops. I broke the site. Can you fix?"

FOR AGENCIES

One place. Not all over the place

We get it. Managing dozens or hundreds of clients is a giant mess. Legacy installs, outdated or missing credentials, maintenance & security considerations. The list is endless. Editmode puts you back in control, giving you a single place to manage all your client's content. Also ask us about our concierge service to migrate your existing clients on to the Editmode platform.

Use Cases

Use Case

The Simplest Headless CMS

Do you really need Contentful?
Let's be honest. Unless you're the New York Times, a suite of "publishing" tools is likely overkill for your marketing site and landing pages. If you have designers, marketers and developers sending tickets back and forth in a sequential, hand-off-based process, the most important problem is likely just letting them get out of each other's way, to focus on what they're each uniquely good at.

Editmode lets the designers, writers, pms and marketers handle the content, and because it doesn't take a ton of time (or money) to integrate, lets developers get back to focussing on shipping product. 

For our new site, we needed a product that "just worked" out of the box, plugged into our existing codebase, and let our devs focus on the build while our team got the copy right. Editmode was installed and working in a couple of minutes and did exactly that. The team loved being able to make real-time changes. And developers loved ditching the frustrating copy change tickets.

Use Case

One place for your content

A single source of truth for your product copy

Housebuild's product is a combination of user generated content, a marketplace, and an e-commerce store, with lots of customer facing copy spread across a hybrid website/web app.

They needed a way for the product and marketing teams to keep messaging consistent by managing all of the customer-facing copy from one place, and keep abreast of changes with version history.

With Editmode, Housebuild's developers were able to create identifiers for each piece of copy, using tags and content keys to organize it, and allowing the rest of team to manage and collaborate around it.

“As both our team and product grew, so too did the number of times and places where we needed to update content. To the non-technical team members, the expectation was that these were 'quick fixes', so as the pace picked up and the changes were taking longer to get actioned (understandably), you could tell that frustration was also rising between the teams. Editmode came at just the right time and completely unblocked us. We found ourselves thinking differently about the design <> dev handoff, and making more updates than we had been beforehand, because it was just so easy to do.”

Don’t take our word for it

Here's what our customers have to say

Editmode lets our design, engineering & marketing teams work in parallel without getting in each other's way, and then find whatever content they need, when they need it. It's really levelled up our process.

Xavi Ablaza
Founder, Makisu

Changing product copy after it goes live has always been a huge pain. Editmode has made it a pleasure. I love it.

Brian Mckiernan
PM, Intercom

I’m loving Editmode for allowing non-technical users to make changes. It’s "i18n.t" on steroids.
