Absolutely — for a resource hub with category pages and glossary pages, you’ll want a CMS that handles:

  • Structured content
  • SEO-friendly URLs
  • Easy categorization/filtering
  • Flexible page templates
  • Scalable content management

Good CMS options

1. WordPress

Best if you want the fastest setup and a large plugin ecosystem.

Why it works:

  • Custom post types for:
    • Resources
    • Categories
    • Glossary terms
  • Easy editor for non-technical teams
  • Strong SEO support
  • Lots of themes/plugins for directories and knowledge bases

Good for:

  • Small to medium content hubs
  • Teams that want low development overhead

2. Contentful

Best if you want a headless CMS with flexible content modeling.

Why it works:

  • Create custom content types for:
    • Resource articles
    • Category pages
    • Glossary entries
  • Great for structured, reusable content
  • Works well with modern frontends like Next.js, Nuxt, Astro

Good for:

  • Custom-built resource hubs
  • Teams with developers
  • Multi-channel publishing

3. Sanity

Best if you want highly flexible content editing and custom structures.

4. Strapi

  • API-first and developer-friendly
  • Self-hosted for more control

Good for:

  • Teams wanting ownership/control
  • Internal platforms or custom apps

5. Webflow CMS

Best if design and speed matter more than deep content complexity.

Why it works:

  • Quick to build category and glossary-style pages
  • Nice visual editor
  • Good for marketing-led resource hubs

Limitations:

  • Less flexible for complex relationships
  • Not ideal for large-scale taxonomy or advanced filtering

My recommendation

If you want the best balance of ease and flexibility:

  • WordPress if you want a traditional CMS and simple management
  • Sanity or Contentful if you want a modern, scalable resource hub
  • Strapi if you want self-hosted control

Suggested content structure

You’ll likely want these content types:

  • Resource
    • title
    • summary
    • body
    • category
    • tags
    • related glossary terms
    • featured image
  • Category
    • name
    • description
    • slug
  • Glossary Term
    • term
    • definition
    • related resources
    • slug

Best choice by scenario

  • Non-technical team, quick launch → WordPress
  • Custom frontend, modern stack → Sanity or Contentful
  • Need open-source/self-hosted → Strapi
  • Simple visual site → Webflow

If you want, I can also recommend the best CMS based on your team size, budget, and tech stack.
