What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Shared Services Model


Are shared services teams effective?


Shared services are the provision of a service by a single part of an organization. Previously, the shared service would have been found in multiple parts of an organization. By creating shared services, you are centralizing areas of the workforce, ensuring everyone is working from the same page. The department essentially becomes an internal service provider.


Here are just some of the benefits associated with shared services teams:


  • Reduced and more transparent costs.
  • More efficient workforce resourcing.
  • Higher-quality professional services.
  • Improved career development opportunities.
  • Greater customer satisfaction ratings.
  • Comprehensive solutions to problems.
  • Coherent approaches across the workforce.


Taking a centralized approach to deliver services across the workforce can be incredibly efficient. When you have multiple professionals delivering the same service across various departments, the organization will lack a coherent approach. When you take a centralized approach, it’s much easier to reduce costs and optimize for maximum efficiency.


What do shared services do?


Shared services are designed to deliver professional services across the organization, rather than having individual departments work separately. For instance, when it comes to human resources, shared services can often prove to be effective. Instead of having several people doing the same thing in different departments, it makes sense to take a centralized approach.


It has never been more important to optimize your organization for maximum efficiency. With the many challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations are now in a position where they need to make tough decisions. Optimizing your organization doesn’t have to come at the expense of valuable talent. It’s simply a restructuring process.


Organizations can thrive under shared service models. This isn’t about sacrificing what you’ve had. It’s actually about finding a new way to approach your operations. This will ensure you are able to thrive in the long term and deliver exceptional customer experiences. Now is the time to start prioritizing the needs of your customers and optimize accordingly.


At StartingPoint, we have developed a SaaS customer experience and operations platform for organizations that are determined to deliver exceptional services. Using our platform, you can streamline customer and client communication and make a shared services model work for your organization. All team members can be added to the platform to provide support.


What is a shared services operating model?


A shared services operating model does not have to be implemented across every aspect of your organization. In some cases, it might make sense to take a more localized approach to deliver services for certain departments, rather than sharing the resources across multiple. This will depend on which approach delivers the best service for your customers.


Ultimately, the shared services operating model boils down to leveraging resources across an entire organization to lower costs and provide greater levels of customer support. It is much less about cutting down on expenses and more about ensuring that your organization is in the best position to deliver incredible value to customers. This isn’t a trade-off.
