From strategy to post-launch: our CMS build approach
Discovery
We start by understanding the unique goals, challenges, and workflows of your business. From there, we evaluate the best CMS fit and outline a migration and content framework.
Strategy
With insights in place, we map out the CMS architecture, content models, and workflows. This ensures scalability, flexibility, and a system your team can actually use day to day.
Build
This is where strategy takes form. We set up the CMS, develop custom features, migrate content, and optimize for performance and usability.
Support
Post-launch, we provide ongoing support, updates, and enhancements to make sure your CMS continues to evolve with your business needs.

Leveraging CMS expertise
for your business
We've seen it all. The good, the bad, and the straight-up ugly. One of the biggest frustrations our clients face is feeling boxed in by the limitations of other development shops. A CMS doesn't have to be outdated, clunky or unattractive. And it definitely shouldn't require a computer science degree just to update a headline.
That's why we don't recommend "one-size-fits-all" CMS. Instead, we believe every platform has its strengths and weaknesses. Contentful excels at performance and complex functionality, while WordPress is often better suited for brochure-style websites.
From building a CMS tailored to your requirements to maintaining and optimizing your current system, we do it all, with finesse.

Your CMS questions, answered.
What is a CMS and does my business need one?
A Content Management System (CMS) is the admin layer behind your website that lets you update pages, blogs, navigation, and other content without touching code. Your team can log in, edit, and publish on their own.
If your site changes more than a few times a year, or more than one person needs to manage it, you’ll almost always benefit from a CMS. We’ll help you decide what level of flexibility you actually need so you don’t end up with something overbuilt or too basic.
How do I know which CMS is right for my business?
There’s no one “best” CMS. The right fit depends on your content model, team size, technical stack, and how often things change. For example, Contentful shines for headless, multi-channel setups, while WordPress is often better for marketing and editorial-heavy sites.
We’ll look at your goals, workflows, and existing tools, then recommend a platform that matches. Whether that’s Contentful, WordPress, Adobe Experience Manager, Craft CMS, Optimizely, or something else that plays nicely with your stack.
Can you migrate my existing website into a CMS?
Yes. We regularly take static sites or older CMS setups and move them into a modern, easier-to-manage system. That includes mapping your existing pages and content into new models, setting up redirects, and keeping important URLs intact.
We pay close attention to SEO and analytics during migration so you don’t lose hard-earned traffic. Where it makes sense, we’ll also clean up outdated content and structure so you come out of the migration with a simpler, more usable site.
How long does it take to build or replatform a CMS-driven site?
Most CMS projects land in the 6–12 weeks range once we’ve agreed on scope. That typically covers discovery, architecture, implementation, content modeling, and migration of key pages or sections.
Smaller, more focused builds or phased migrations can move faster, especially if content and approvals are ready. Larger, multi-language or multi-site setups will naturally take longer. We’ll map that out with you up front so timelines are clear.
What does CMS development typically cost?
Cost depends on the complexity of your site, number of templates, content types, integrations, and whether we’re also handling design or just the CMS layer. Most CMS projects fall into the high four-figure to five-figure range.
We’ll start with your goals and content reality, then come back with a clear, fixed-fee proposal so you know what’s included.
Which CMS platforms do you work with?
We’ve worked with most of the big names: Contentful, WordPress, Adobe Experience Manager, Craft CMS, and Optimizely, plus headless setups that tie into modern front-ends and other services.
If you’re already on a CMS, we can usually work with it rather than forcing you to switch right away. If a change would genuinely make your life easier, we’ll explain why and help you plan the move in a way that doesn’t disrupt your day-to-day.
Will my CMS setup be good for SEO?
Yes. We structure your CMS so it supports clean URLs, proper headings, meta data, alt text, internal linking, and performance best practices. Not just “editable content blocks everywhere.”
Depending on your needs, we can also bake in things like schema/structured data fields, localized content support, and SEO-friendly redirects.
Can the CMS handle multiple languages or regions?
Absolutely. We can set up content models and workflows that support multiple languages, regions, or brands from a single CMS, instead of you juggling a separate site for each variation.
We’ll plan for things like locale-specific content, different imagery or messaging by region, and how your team will manage translations.
How easy is it to add new functionality or content types later?
We design your CMS with growth in mind. That means clear content models, reusable components, and a structure that doesn’t fall apart the moment you add a new page type, layout, or feature.
When you’re ready to add something new—like a resources hub, events, locations, or a new product line, we can usually introduce it as an additional content type or module.
How do you make sure the CMS is future-proof for my team?
We start with solid, well-supported platforms and a clean architecture, so you’re not tied to a single developer or a pile of hacks. Content models are designed to be flexible instead of hard-coded around one campaign or layout.
On top of that, we include training, documentation, and a clear handoff so your team actually knows how to use what we’ve built. If you’d like, we can also stay on in an advisory or support role as your needs evolve and your CMS grows with you.
