Content management system (CMS) development

(per project, fixed scope)

A website your team can update without a developer

A CMS that lets your team update pages, posts and products without a developer.

$2,950 fixed price, or $2,508 with a plan

The problem

If every text or page change needs a developer, your site goes out of date. A good content system lets your team update it themselves.

Best for teams that can't easily update their website; businesses with lots of pages, products or locations; sites moving to a headless or new CMS.

  • Simple text changes wait days for a developer
  • Your content is stuck in a system nobody likes using
  • New pages break the design

How we fix it

  • We design a content model around how your team works
  • We move your content over and train your team

What clients say

All reviews
“Nouveau site en ligne sans perdre notre référencement, ce qui était ma plus grande peur. Ils ont tout redirigé proprement et vérifié après le lancement. Équipe réactive et très claire sur les délais.”
Camille DuboisWebsite redesign, Sep 2026Français
“Ci serviva una landing page per una campagna in due settimane e l'hanno consegnata in tempo, con i form collegati al nostro CRM. Il test A/B era già impostato al lancio.”
Giulia RomanoLanding page design, Aug 2026Italiano
“We're a two-location dental practice and were basically invisible on Google Maps. Three months in, the second office finally shows up when you search from the neighborhood next door. I like that I can see exactly what they worked on each week in the portal instead of getting a vague monthly email.”
