Marketing sites where the content model is designed, not improvised.

[ THE_PROBLEM ]

Why this existed

A content model improvised page by page becomes a system the marketing team routes around within a month.

[ WHAT_WE_BUILT ]

What we built

Headless CMS backends with typed content models — articles, authors, categories, pages, product features, lead-form submissions and global settings — populated through middleware and consumed by internationalised front ends, with SendGrid email, media handling and import/export tooling.

  • Typed content models for articles, authors, categories and pages
  • Product feature and lead-form submission models
  • Global settings model
  • Middleware-driven population of related content
  • Internationalised front ends
  • Transactional email, media handling and import/export tooling

[ HOW_IT_IS_USED ]

How a company uses it

A marketing team that publishes weekly needs a content model built for its actual page types. Getting that right is the difference between a CMS that speeds the team up and one they route around.

[ COMMON_QUESTIONS ]

Questions clients ask

What makes a content model good?

It matches the page types the team actually publishes, and it makes the common case easy without making the unusual case impossible. Models that are too rigid get bypassed; models that are too loose produce inconsistent pages. Getting it right is most of the value of a CMS project.

Headless or traditional CMS?

Headless when the front end needs to be fast, bespoke or multi-channel. Traditional when the team wants to build pages visually and the site is conventional. Choosing headless for a brochure site adds cost for no benefit.

Who maintains the CMS after launch?

Somebody has to — self-hosted means security updates and hosting. That should be an explicit decision at the start, because an unmaintained CMS becomes a liability rather than an asset.
