CMS Development That Puts Your Content Team in Control

WordPress gives you a large ready-made system with thousands of plugins, which is excellent for blogs and standard business websites. A custom CMS contains only the features you use, has no plugin conflicts or licence renewals, and can be shaped exactly around an unusual workflow. WordPress is faster to launch; a custom system is easier to live with when your process does not match how WordPress expects you to work.

Cost depends on how many content types you have, how many user roles are needed, whether content must be translated or served to an app, and how much existing content has to be migrated. A straightforward content system for a business website costs considerably less than a multi-brand publishing platform. We give a fixed written quote after the content audit so the number does not move later.

Usually yes. If the current site is technically sound, we can add a content layer behind it so your team gains editing control while the design, URLs and rankings stay untouched. We review the existing code first and tell you honestly whether adding a CMS or rebuilding gives you better value.

Not if the migration is planned. We keep URL structures wherever possible, set 301 redirects for anything that changes, and carry across titles, descriptions, headings and schema markup. After launch we watch Search Console for crawl errors and indexing changes and correct issues quickly. Ranking drops happen when redirects are skipped, not because the platform changed.

That is the whole point of the build. The panel is arranged around the tasks your team performs most, fields are validated so mistakes are prevented rather than corrected, and each role only sees what it needs. We train your team live and leave a written guide for anyone who joins later.

A content system for a single business website is usually ready in six to eight weeks. A larger platform with multiple languages, brands or heavy migration typically takes ten to sixteen weeks. Migration time depends more on how messy the old content is than on the volume.

Yes. With a headless setup, content is stored once and delivered through APIs to any channel, so your team updates a product or article in one place and it changes everywhere. This is worth planning at the start because retrofitting it later usually means restructuring the content.

We build the system, structure the content and can guide you on how pages should be organised for search visibility. Writing the actual copy usually stays with your team or your content partner, since they know the subject best. We are happy to work alongside whoever is producing it.

You get the full source code, database and documentation, and content can be exported in a clean structured format at any time. Nothing is locked. We would rather earn continued work than rely on it being difficult to leave.

Yes. There is a free bug fixing period after go-live, and monthly support is available covering updates, security patches, backups, new content blocks and workflow changes as your team's needs evolve.
