Service Overview

We set up headless content management so your marketing team can ship pages without waiting on an engineering sprint, and so your developers are not maintaining a bespoke admin panel forever. Typically that means Sanity, Payload, Contentful, or Strapi behind a Next.js frontend, with content modelled around how your team actually works rather than around database tables. The modelling is the part that decides whether a CMS gets used or abandoned: fields that map to real editorial decisions, reusable blocks that compose into pages, validation that prevents broken layouts, and preview that shows the real page rather than a rough approximation. We wire up draft preview, scheduled publishing, role based permissions, and on demand revalidation so published changes appear immediately without a full rebuild. We also handle migration from an existing system, including redirect maps so the SEO value of your current URLs survives the move.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which headless CMS should we use?

It depends on who maintains it and how structured your content is. Sanity suits teams wanting a highly customisable editing experience and real time collaboration. Payload suits teams who want the CMS in their own codebase and database. Contentful suits larger organisations needing governance and enterprise support. Strapi suits teams who want open source and self hosting. We recommend based on your constraints rather than defaulting to one.

Can we migrate from WordPress without losing search rankings?

Yes, and the redirect map is the critical part. We inventory every existing URL, map each to its new location, and implement permanent redirects before launch. We also carry across metadata, canonical tags, and structured data. Rankings typically dip briefly during recrawl and recover, provided the redirects are complete and the content is equivalent.

Will editors need developer help to build pages?

No, and that is the point of the block based model. We build a library of composable sections that editors arrange, configure, and reorder themselves, with validation preventing combinations that break the layout. New block types need a developer, but assembling pages from existing blocks does not.

How fast do published changes appear?

Seconds, using on demand revalidation. When content is published the CMS calls a webhook that invalidates exactly the affected pages, so those pages regenerate on the next request while the rest of the site stays cached. This avoids the full site rebuild that makes some static setups painful at scale.

Can we preview content before publishing?

Yes. Draft preview renders the real page with draft content, on the real templates, at a shareable URL. That matters because approximations hide layout problems that only appear with actual content lengths and image sizes.

What does ongoing CMS hosting cost?

It varies by platform. Self hosted options such as Payload and Strapi cost you infrastructure only, typically modest for a content workload. Hosted platforms such as Sanity and Contentful have free tiers that many sites never outgrow, with pricing that scales on API usage, seats, and document count. We model the expected cost during selection so there are no surprises later.
