Turnaround

Headless CMS splits the editor your marketing team logs into from the website your customers see. The CMS (Sanity, Strapi, Payload or a custom Supabase admin) handles content; a fast, custom-coded React frontend handles the user experience. You keep the editorial productivity of WordPress without the security debt, the plugin bloat, the speed problems or the design ceiling.

We implement headless setups for editorial sites, marketing sites with heavy content cadence, multi-brand businesses and SaaS marketing teams that want to ship a landing page without filing a dev ticket. The frontend gets the same speed and SEO treatment as our standard web design; the CMS is configured around how your team actually publishes.

Pairs well with our redesign service when you're migrating off WordPress or a brittle legacy CMS.

What a Headless CMS Implementation Includes

The standard pieces we configure end-to-end.

Custom Content Models

Modelled around how your marketing team actually thinks about content — articles, landing pages, products, authors, case studies, FAQs. Reusable blocks, references and live previews so editors see the final layout before publishing.

Custom React Frontend

We don't reuse a generic Sanity / Strapi starter. Your frontend is built bespoke in React + TypeScript, tuned for Core Web Vitals, with structured data, sitemaps, redirects and analytics wired in from day one.

Preview & Publish Flow

Live preview of unpublished drafts, scheduled publish, rollback to previous versions, draft-vs-production environments, and webhooks that rebuild only the affected pages on publish (no full-site rebuilds).

Roles, Audit & SSO

Workflow stages (draft → review → legal → publish), per-field permissions, full audit trail, optional SSO via Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Production-grade editorial governance without an enterprise contract.

Why Aussie Teams Choose Us for Headless

Going headless is as much an editorial-workflow decision as a technical one. We've configured CMS implementations for 10+ years where the marketing team has to ship 3 landing pages a week without a dev ticket — and the failure mode is always 'cool CMS, nobody uses it'. We design the content model with your editors in the room and ship in fortnightly demos so they can shape it.

Same senior engineer end-to-end, modern stack (Sanity / Strapi / Payload + React + TypeScript), and a frontend tuned for Core Web Vitals from day one. No agency handoffs, no platform commission, no PHP plugin nightmares.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which headless CMS should I use?

Depends on your team. Sanity is our default for marketing teams that want live preview and a beautiful editor; Payload (open-source, self-hosted) for clients who want zero vendor lock-in; Strapi for teams that want a familiar admin UI on Postgres; a custom Supabase admin when the content model is small and the budget is tight. We'll recommend the right one in the scoping call.

How much does a headless CMS implementation cost?

Most projects land between $8,000 and $30,000 depending on content model complexity, migration scope, and how custom the frontend is. Always fixed-price after a free scoping call.

Will it be faster than WordPress?

Yes — typically 3–5x faster on Core Web Vitals. The frontend is pre-built static / on-demand rendered React, with no PHP, no plugin overhead, no database query per page load. We hit green LCP, INP and CLS on launch day, and keep it there.

Can we migrate from WordPress / Wix / Squarespace?

Yes. We script the content migration into the new CMS, preserve all URLs (or 301 redirect them properly), keep the SEO equity intact and import your media library. Most migrations finish inside 3–6 weeks depending on volume.

Do I still need a developer to add pages?

No — that's the whole point. Once the content model and reusable blocks are configured, your marketing team builds landing pages by composing blocks (hero, feature grid, FAQ, CTA, etc.) in the CMS. Devs only get pulled in for new component types or backend changes.

Do I own everything?

Yes. Content lives in your CMS account (or self-hosted on your infrastructure for Payload / Strapi), code lives in your GitHub, the frontend deploys to your hosting account. You can move providers at any time.
