CMS websites

A website built on a content management system, so blog posts, services, and pages can be added or edited without touching code.

In depth

What cms websites really involves

A CMS exists so that changing a phone number doesn't need a developer. In practice, plenty of 'editable' sites are still painful, because the editing screen is confusing or one wrong click breaks the layout. We try to build the editing experience as carefully as the public site.

The first question is who'll be editing and how often. A marketing person publishing blog posts weekly needs a different setup from an owner who changes opening hours twice a year. We shape the editor around that person, hiding the controls they don't need and protecting the parts of the design they shouldn't break.

We also talk honestly about the choice of system. WordPress is familiar and flexible but needs steady updates. Headless setups can be faster and tighter but need more technical care. A simple custom admin may be enough for small sites. We'll recommend what suits your team, and not just what we like building.

How it goes

How we approach cms websites

01

Work out who edits what

We list the content types, like pages, posts, team profiles or products, and who'll maintain each. That shapes the editing screens.

02

Choose the system

We compare options against your skills, budget and maintenance appetite, and explain the trade-offs without jargon.

03

Build structured content

Content is stored in fields, not one big blob, so layouts stay consistent whatever gets typed in.

04

Train and hand over

We give a short walkthrough, plus a written guide for common tasks, so the team feels comfortable on day one.

Ideal for

Who this fits

01

Businesses that plan to publish content regularly

02

Teams tired of asking a developer for every text change

Watch out for

Common mistakes, and how we avoid them

Giving editors too much power

Unlimited layout controls lead to inconsistent pages. We offer sensible choices within a design that holds together.

Plugin overload

Every plugin is a security and speed risk. We keep them to the few that earn their place.

No update plan

A CMS needs updating. We agree who handles it so the site doesn't age into a security problem.
