What Is Sitecore Content Hub?

May 12 2021

Content is a powerful tool that modern organizations utilize to promote products and services, attract and retain customers by keeping them engaged, and increase sales. But when multiple departments generate tons of marketing materials using various tools and incompatible systems, it becomes challenging to plan, create and control the information flow efficiently.

In this article, we discuss Sitecore Content Hub — a tool that provides 360-degree visibility of your digital media files and keeps you sane while dealing with them.

The look and feel of your Sitecore-based solution largely depends on SXA themes — sets of assets, such as images, scripts, fonts and style sheets enabled by CSS and JavaScript. They aren’t closely tied to the content and functionality of the solution, and can be created separately from them. To provide the integrity and modularity of a Sitecore-based solution and compile the styling of a number of projects, we rely on Gulp, a JavaScript-based manager that automates frequently performed tasks. With this tool, we can compile scattered stylesheets from different projects in a single CSS file, and place them right where they belong. Read on to learn how styling in Sitecore 9 works in practice.
