Copy MapsWHY?

The Development team needs to know what things are are where things go.

● Character limits● Asset file names / URLs● Type of content (image, text, link text, button, text fields)● Text style (H1, H2, body copy)

CIs and Copy Maps are created because:

Content is not always evident or updated in a comp.

Translation companies need a document to provide translated copy. (Copy maps are used as a visual to provide context for translators.)

Coders need text that they can copy and paste.

Technology or resources are lacking to create software that would maintain content with a custom CMS solution.
