I've never seen a CMS implement something like this. Before I started my current company I would do web consulting on the side. I've built hundreds of Jekyll sites for people, and I would always create a variables file to manage information like this:
- Company address
- Primary email
- Legal name
- Display name
- etc.
Those would then all have key value pairs like:
- legal_name="Company Co Inc."
- display_name="Company"
It's a simple use case, but if the company ever changes their name, it's one change I have to make. Apply this to any repeatable bits of text and you can see how not having this is a major pain with tools like Webflow. The is especially true because I can't just globally search and replace like I can in a text editor.
Have you had any solution that allows you to do this with other website builders?
