Presentation

The client

The Society of London Art Dealers is a membership organisation representing leading fine art dealers and galleries in the UK.

To support the organisation’s growing digital presence, the London-based multidisciplinary studio Gutenberg manages a content-heavy WordPress website featuring galleries, events, exhibitions, artists, editorial content and SEO-focused landing pages.

The team was looking for a more scalable and structured way to manage content centrally while reducing repetitive manual work inside WordPress. During their research for a cleaner Notion-to-WordPress workflow, they discovered WP connect’s Notion WP Sync.

Challenges

Managing large volumes of content in WordPress became time-consuming and hard to scale

The Gutenberg team faced several operational challenges:

Manual and repetitive content editing in WordPress
Difficulty centralising structured content
SEO workflows requiring too much manual intervention
Maintaining consistency across multiple content types
Reliance on fragmented automation tools and workflows
Need for a scalable database-driven publishing architecture

The team also wanted to avoid relying heavily on third-party automation layers such as Zapier or complex custom API setups.

Solutions

A Centralized, Automated Notion-to-WordPress Workflow

WP connect’s Notion WP Sync enabled Gutenberg Studio to build a structured publishing workflow where Notion acts as the central content database and WordPress handles presentation and publishing.

The workflow is based on:

Structured Notion databases → Notion WP Sync → WordPress Custom Post Types & Pages → Public Website

By using Notion as the “source of truth”, the team was able to centralise content management while simplifying WordPress operations.

The workflow now synchronises a wide range of structured content, including:

Gallery and member information
Events and exhibitions
Artist-related content
SEO-focused pages and metadata
Editorial content
Supporting structured metadata
Images and media references

Results

Centralised content management

The team now manages structured website content directly from interconnected Notion databases, simplifying updates and reducing fragmentation.

By structuring content more effectively, the team improved consistency across SEO pages and editorial operations, helping increase website visibility and traffic.
Cleaner technical architecture

Compared to alternative solutions involving Zapier or custom APIs, Notion WP Sync provided a more direct, maintainable and scalable integration between Notion and WordPress.
