1 — Workflow Workshop
Half-day sessions with the people who will use the CMS every day. We map current pain, data flows, and integration points.
Why Custom
Why Teams Outgrow WordPress
WordPress and Drupal are great for blogs. Once content teams need multi-site publishing, approval workflows, localization, or structured content APIs, custom is faster and cheaper than plugin-chaining a legacy CMS.
Structured Content, Not Pages
Define content models once (products, articles, authors, locations) and reuse them everywhere — web, mobile, email, signage.
Editor Experience That Fits
Writers and editors stop fighting the CMS. Custom block editors, inline previews, scheduled publishing, draft diffs — built around the editorial workflow.
Multi-Site & Multi-Language
One backend, many front-ends. Multi-brand portfolios, country-specific sites, French-Canadian localization — done right.
Workflow & Approvals
Draft → Legal review → Executive approval → Published. Audit log included, not a plugin that breaks on update.
API-First by Default
REST or GraphQL endpoints for every content type. Power apps, kiosks, email tools, AI pipelines — one source of truth.
No More Plugin Hell
Owned code means no monthly plugin audit. Security updates ship when we ship them, not when a plugin vendor decides.
How We Build Yours
Our CMS Delivery Process
2 — Functional Spec
Written spec covering modules, roles, reports, integrations. Signed off before architecture — no scope creep, no "we assumed...".
3 — Prototype Sprint
Clickable UX prototype of the three highest-impact screens inside 10 business days. Your team reviews before engineering starts.
4 — Build in Modules
Two-week sprints. Core CMS first, integrations next, reporting last. Live demos every Friday — course-correct early.
5 — Data Migration & UAT
We migrate from your current system in parallel. Pilot team runs real workflows for 2–3 weeks before full go-live.
6 — Go-Live & Hyper-Care
Phased rollout, on-site or on-call during first week. Monthly retainer covers patches, small features, and fast-lane support.
Typical CMS project ships first production module in 10–16 weeks. Larger implementations deliver in 3–4 phases over 6–9 months.
