Off topic, but I'm curious, can you tell me more about the CMS application?

It was an attempt to provide a resource for comprehensive, in-depth, accessible information for maxillofacial / heck & neck patients and practitioners. Part of the movement of empowering patients by giving them the information traditionally held by clinicians, but also helping clinicians to be aware of scientific research from adjacent disciplines that might be useful.

The CMS design comes into it because when you have a larger collection of non-technical authors you need an accessible way to manage the content. This was how it was initially conceived anyway - in practice more development time had to go towards handling the users' existing workflow (MS Word) rather than migrating them into the CMS directly. A real eye-opener for me about user-centred design..
