Who it is for

Built for buyers with real migration risk

  • 01

    Marketing teams that need control without breaking site design.

  • 02

    B2B sites with case studies, blogs, landing pages, resources, or multiple content types.

  • 03

    Product teams that need structured content reused across web, app, and campaigns.

Problems solved

What this service fixes

Commercial SEO pages need to answer buyer concerns directly, so each scope item maps to a practical business or search risk.

01

Editors rely on developers for every landing page change.

02

Content is duplicated across pages instead of modeled once and reused.

03

Preview, scheduling, permissions, or localization are missing.

04

The frontend and CMS are coupled in ways that slow future changes.

Deliverables

What you get

The scope is explicit before build starts, with technical SEO included in the implementation.

  • 01

    CMS selection and implementation plan.

  • 02

    Content models, fields, validation rules, roles, and workflows.

  • 03

    Reusable page builder sections mapped to the design system.

  • 04

    Next.js integration with typed queries, preview, images, and caching.

  • 05

    Editor documentation and launch QA.

Process

How the engagement runs

01 / 04

Discovery

We map content types, editorial roles, publishing workflow, integrations, and SEO requirements.

02 / 04

Modeling

We design schemas so editors manage meaning, not layout guesswork.

03 / 04

Integration

The CMS connects to Next.js with preview, caching, images, and typed content access.

04 / 04

Training

Editors get a clean handoff, documentation, and QA support around launch.

Pricing and timeline

Budget guidance before the call

Cost range

Headless CMS builds usually start around $4,000-$9,000. Larger page-builder systems, custom workflows, localization, or complex integrations often range from $10,000-$25,000+.

Timeline expectations

A focused CMS implementation takes 3-6 weeks. Larger editorial systems usually take 6-12 weeks depending on content model depth and integrations.

SEO risk mitigation

How search visibility is protected

01

Create metadata fields and validation at the CMS level.

02

Model slugs, canonicals, open graph images, and schema inputs intentionally.

03

Generate sitemap-ready routes from structured content.

04

Keep preview and published URLs predictable for editors and crawlers.

Proof

CMS builds that preserve brand and speed

We focus on editor freedom within controlled components, so teams can publish more without creating slow, inconsistent pages.
