Next.js or Astro, a headless CMS your editors like, and hosting on your own accounts. Picked for your team, not by a partner deal.
Frontend, CMS, database, hosting, and the tools you already use, around a website you own.
Frontend
Headless CMS
Database
Hosting
Integrations
Reconnected and tested, with their data migrated: forms, CRM, analytics, search, payments, and automations.
The assessment picks the CMS and database that fit your editors and budget. No partner deals push one.
Both are open source and fast. The difference is how close the site sits to your product.
For content-heavy marketing sites that should ship almost no JavaScript.
For sites that sit close to your product, with logins, live data, or app features.
Chosen for who edits, where content must live, and what you want to pay for licences.
Teams on Next.js who want everything in one repository
Open source, written in TypeScript, and runs inside your Next.js app. Content lives in your own database.
Content teams that edit together in real time
Hosted content store with a customizable editing studio, real-time collaboration, and visual editing.
Marketers who build pages from blocks
Hosted, with a visual editor that shows the live page while you edit. Company based in Austria.
Larger organizations with many teams and locales
Hosted, with roles, environments, and approval workflows for large teams.
Developers who want an open-source admin they can extend
Open-source headless CMS you can self-host or run on Strapi Cloud.
Sites whose content already lives in a SQL database
Puts an editing app and an API on top of your own SQL database. Self-hosted or Directus Cloud.
Marketing teams that assemble landing pages from slices
Hosted, with page building from reusable slices. Company based in France.
Multi-language sites that want a simple hosted editor
Hosted, with strong localization and image handling. Company based in Italy.
Editors who already know WordPress and want to keep it
WordPress stays as the admin. The new frontend reads content through its API, and the theme and most plugins go away.
Answer them and see where you’d likely land. The assessment confirms it with your team.
A starting point
Frontend
CMS shortlist
Hosting
Cloudflare, Netlify, or Vercel. A static site runs almost anywhere.
The assessment makes the call, with your editors in the room.
You pay the host directly. We set it up, document it, and hand it over.
Preview links for every change, automatic deploys from the repository, and almost nothing to run.
Pick it if you want the least operations work.
Pages served from a global network. The free tier covers most static sites.
Pick it if traffic is global and the site is mostly static.
EU regions or your own servers, with a container setup we document and hand over.
Pick it if data residency or company policy decides where things run.
When the CMS needs a database, it runs on a managed one in your account.
Not at handover. Everything is created in your organization from the start, so you’re never locked in to us.
Anything else, ask on the call.
Yes. The content model lives in code and the frontend reads content through one layer, so moving to another CMS is a contained project, not a rebuild. It’s still work, which is why we choose carefully in the assessment.
No. Your team edits pages, posts, media, and translations in a visual CMS, the same things they edit today. For bigger changes, the repository is set up for AI coding agents, with project context, Markdown docs, agent skills, and your design system in it. If you’d rather hand changes to a person, there’s an optional support plan with one dedicated developer.
Next.js, Astro, and the open-source CMSes we use run thousands of production sites and ship regular security releases. Open source also means control. If a vendor changes pricing or direction, your code and content keep running.
Because the right one depends on who edits, where data must live, and what you want to pay for licences. We have no partner deals, so the assessment recommends what fits your team, and explains why.
Yes. WordPress can run headless: editors keep the admin they know, and the new frontend reads content through its API. The theme and most plugins go away, and so do most of the updates and security work.
The assessment ends with a stack recommendation, a content model, and a fixed scope.
