Content Management Systems
You shouldn't need a developer every time you want to publish a blog post or update documentation. We build content management systems that let you focus on writing, not wrestling with admin panels.
Why Build a Custom CMS?
WordPress works for a lot of people. But it's also slow, bloated with features you'll never use, and needs constant security updates. Not to mention the plugin ecosystem that can break your site with a single update.
We build lightweight CMSs that do exactly what you need. Want a blog? You get a blog, not a blog plus forums plus e-commerce plus 47 other features. The result is faster, more secure, and way easier to maintain.
What We Build
Blog Platforms
Clean, fast blogging with all the essentials. Write posts, add images, organize by categories and tags. Support for drafts, scheduling, and SEO metadata. Optional features like comments, author profiles, and newsletter signups.
We can integrate with markdown for that clean writing experience devs love, or build a rich text editor if you prefer WYSIWYG. Your choice.
Documentation Sites
API docs, product guides, internal wikis—whatever you need to document. Organized sidebar navigation, search functionality, code syntax highlighting, versioning for different releases.
We can set it up so your docs live in Git alongside your code, or build a database-backed system if you need more flexibility. Both work great.
Knowledge Bases
Help centers and FAQ systems that actually help. Organized by topics, searchable, with related articles suggestions. Track popular articles to see what your users care about.
Can include features like feedback buttons ("Was this helpful?"), article ratings, and analytics to show which pages are getting the most traffic.
Multi-Author Platforms
Got a team writing content? We build systems with user roles and permissions. Writers can create drafts, editors can review and publish, admins can manage everything. Workflow that makes sense.
Optional editorial workflow with approval processes, content calendar views, and collaboration features if your team needs them.
Admin Interface
The admin panel is where you'll spend your time, so it needs to be good. We build interfaces that are clean and intuitive—no hunting through menus to find basic features.
Preview your content before publishing, see what it looks like on mobile, check all your metadata. Auto-save means you won't lose work if your browser crashes. Media library for managing images and files with drag-and-drop uploads.
We can also build different admin interfaces depending on your needs. Some clients want everything in a traditional dashboard, others prefer editing content directly on the page. We're flexible.
Content Features
Rich Text Editor
Full formatting options—headings, lists, links, images, embeds. Clean up messy pasted content automatically. Keyboard shortcuts for power users.
Media Management
Upload images and files, organize in folders, automatic image optimization and resizing. Alt text fields for accessibility.
SEO Tools
Meta titles and descriptions, URL slugs, Open Graph data for social sharing. Real-time preview of how your content looks in search results.
Version History
See previous versions of your content, compare changes, restore old versions if you need to roll back. Never lose work.
Search Functionality
Fast, relevant search across all your content. Filters by date, category, author. Handles typos and returns results instantly.
Custom Fields
Add whatever metadata makes sense for your content. Date fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, relationships to other content. Totally flexible.
Headless CMS Option
If you want your content to power multiple frontends—website, mobile app, digital displays, whatever—we can build a headless CMS. Content managed in one place, exposed via API, consumed wherever you need it.
This approach gives you maximum flexibility. Your content isn't tied to a specific presentation layer. Change your website design without touching your content. Build new products that use the same content pool.
We can also integrate with existing headless CMS platforms like Sanity, Contentful, or Strapi if that makes more sense for your project. Or build something completely custom. Depends on your needs.
Performance & Security
Content-heavy sites can get slow if not built right. We use static generation where possible—build HTML pages at deploy time, serve them instantly. For dynamic content, smart caching strategies keep things fast.
Security-wise, we follow best practices. Input validation, SQL injection prevention, XSS protection, CSRF tokens. Regular dependency updates to patch any vulnerabilities. Rate limiting on auth endpoints to prevent brute force attacks.
Automatic backups of your content and database. If something goes wrong, we can restore from backup quickly.
Tech Stack
Next.js for the frontend and API routes. Database typically PostgreSQL with Prisma for type-safe database queries. Rich text editor using TipTap or similar. Image hosting and optimization through Cloudinary.
For markdown-based systems, we use MDX so you can embed React components directly in your content. Great for documentation that needs interactive examples.
