CMS Websites

A website your team can actually run

The point of a CMS is that publishing a page, changing a price or adding a case study doesn’t require a developer. We build CMS-based websites where content lives in structured fields your team edits directly, and where no edit can quietly break the design.

Most CMS builds fail in the same way

A site launches with a content model that fits the pages that existed on launch day. Six months later the team needs something slightly different, there is no field for it, and the workaround is pasting markup into a rich-text box. From then on the design decays with every edit.

The fix is modelling content properly at the start: typed fields that mirror how your business actually describes itself, and reusable sections instead of one freeform blob per page. Then a new page is an editorial decision rather than a development ticket.

Structured content, not a page builder

Page builders give editors total freedom and produce sites that look worse every month. Structured content does the opposite: editors control the words and the images, the design system controls how they render, and the site still looks deliberate after a year of use.

In practice that means fields with real constraints (a headline that can't become three paragraphs, an image slot that enforces its own crop) so the guard rails do the work rather than a style guide nobody reads.

Choosing the CMS

Sanity when the content model matters and you want a custom editing experience alongside a Next.js front end. Webflow when the team wants visual editing and hosting handled with no engineering overhead. Shopify's own CMS when the content sits around a storefront rather than beside it.

The right answer follows who is editing and how often, not which tool is fashionable. We will tell you when the simpler option is enough.

Nothing goes blank

A CMS introduces a failure mode a static site doesn't have: an empty field, a deleted entry, or the CMS itself being briefly unreachable. Handled badly, any of those shows a visitor a blank section.

We build every CMS-driven section against a fallback, so a missing value degrades to sensible published copy instead of empty space. This site is built the same way. You can empty the dataset entirely and every page still reads correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Will my team need a developer to update the site?

No, that is the whole point. Content lives in fields your team edits directly, and handover includes showing them how. You would only need a developer for genuinely new functionality, not for copy, images or new pages.

Which CMS will you use?

Sanity for custom builds where the content model matters, Webflow where the team wants visual editing with hosting handled, and Shopify's own CMS where content sits around a storefront. The choice follows who is editing and how often.

Can you add a CMS to a site we already have?

Often, yes. It depends on how the existing site is built. Some make it straightforward, some make a rebuild the cheaper answer. We will tell you which yours is before you spend anything.

What happens if someone deletes content by mistake?

Sections are built against fallbacks, so a missing value shows sensible published copy rather than empty space. Sanity also keeps document history, so a mistaken edit can be rolled back.
