A new impact story is a form, not a page build
An impact story is a single CMS entry. The template lays out the rest.
- State
- Tag
- Video link
- Article

A national network, with each state shown on its own page
WIN is national, but its support is won one state at a time. A legislator in Kentucky wants to see what WIN has done in Kentucky.
The national site still needs every story, guide and event in one place. So the same content has to show up in two ways: all of it nationally, and only the right part on each state page.
4state pages, one shared layout
3CMS collections feeding every page
1entry per story, shown wherever it belongs
Filter, don’t duplicate
Every impact story, resource and event carries a two-letter state abbreviation. Each state page lists the items that match its own state, or that have no state at all.
| When an entry has | It appears on |
|---|---|
| State Abbreviation OH | The Ohio page, and the national lists. |
| State Abbreviation left empty | Every state page, and the national lists. |
| National Event switched on | Every state page, so a large event is entered once instead of four times. |
Both states share one layout. Each hero is written for its state, and everything below it comes filtered from the CMS.
A new state is three filter values
Adding a state means duplicating one page and changing three filter values. The content side needs no change.
The West Virginia news list: State Abbreviation is WV, or isn’t set.
Entered the same way every time, because the CMS says how
The routing only works if editors type the state the same way on every entry. So each field that drives it explains itself, right where the editor fills it in.
| Field | Type | Help text the editor sees | Collection |
|---|---|---|---|
| State Abbreviation | Text, 2 characters | “Use uppercase, two-letter abbreviation format to indicate the associated state.” | Stories, Resources, Events |
| National Event | Switch | “Toggle on for large national events that should be displayed on all state pages.” | Events |
| External Release | Switch | “Toggle on if this article was originally posted outside of the WIN domain.” | Resources |
