CMS development

Content platforms designed around how your team publishes.

We build and customise content-managed websites where editorial workflow, structured content, integrations or performance requirements go beyond a basic template. The solution may use an established CMS or a custom content layer depending on the requirement.

Where we add value

CMS development shaped around the problem, not a generic package

Every cms development requirement has a different starting point. We review the existing environment, the people who use it, the systems it depends on and the commercial outcome before deciding what should be built or changed.

That discovery matters because technical shortcuts often move cost into support, manual work or future redevelopment. Our aim is to make the solution understandable, maintainable and appropriate to the risk.

Structured content

Model content so it can be reused consistently across pages, channels and interfaces.

Editorial usability

Make common publishing tasks straightforward for non-technical users.

Integration-ready

Connect content to forms, CRM, search, product data or external APIs when needed.

Performance-conscious

Avoid excessive plugin and frontend complexity that makes content sites difficult to maintain.

How we work

Start with clarity, then build in controlled increments

We favour clear requirements, visible priorities and reviewable releases. Where uncertainty exists, we reduce it before committing to a large build.

Testing, documentation, version control, deployment planning and communication are treated as part of delivery rather than optional extras added at the end.

Technical coverage

Technology selected around the requirement

The exact stack depends on the current system and the work required. We can combine core Midoriweb expertise with specialists from our wider engineering team when a project needs additional skills.

Engagement options

Choose the level of ownership you need

Some clients need a complete managed project; others need experienced capacity inside an existing team. We support both models.

Specialist workstream

Bring us into one defined area such as frontend, backend, integrations, performance or infrastructure.

Team augmentation

Add one or more developers to increase capacity for a fixed period or ongoing roadmap.

Ongoing technical partner

Combine support, maintenance, improvements and roadmap delivery in a continuing engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Questions to consider before you start

Do you only build WordPress sites?

No. WordPress is one option; the right CMS depends on editorial needs, integrations, security and the wider architecture.

Can you migrate content from an old CMS?

Yes. We can plan field mapping, URL preservation, media migration and validation.

Can a CMS be headless?

Yes, when separating content management from frontend delivery provides a genuine benefit.

Can you build custom editorial components?

Yes. Reusable, controlled components can make pages flexible without giving editors an unstructured blank canvas.
