Content Management

Most content management systems are built for the average publisher, and most editorial teams end up fighting them: wrestling generic field types into shapes they were never meant to hold, or working around a workflow the software assumes everyone follows. A content management system should support how your team actually works, not force them into someone else’s idea of a workflow.

We build bespoke content management systems designed around your team’s real editorial process, whether that’s a single editor publishing occasionally or several contributors working through approvals, versioning and review before anything goes live. Document handling and workflow tools are built in where you need them, so approvals, sign-off and version history are part of the system rather than tracked in a separate spreadsheet or inbox.

For custom-built websites, that means full editorial control: your non-technical staff should be able to update copy, images and pages confidently on their own, without needing a developer involved for routine changes. The system is built to match the actual structure of your content and your organisation, not retrofitted from a generic template.

Because our content designer and graphic designer work alongside the developers building the system, the CMS is designed to support your actual design system and content structure from the outset, rather than being a technical layer bolted on afterwards that content then has to be squeezed into.

This approach suits a range of situations: multi-author publishing, product or service catalogues that need regular updates, or document repositories that need to stay organised as they grow.

If your current CMS is getting in the way rather than helping, get in touch and we’ll talk through what a system built for your team would look like.
