Payload CMS

Overview

Payload Playground

Payload is our CMS of choice. It's modern, flexible, and built for the kind of complex digital solutions we specialise in. Unlike off-the-shelf platforms, like WordPress, that box you into a world of templates and plugins, Payload gives you complete control over your content and how it's structured.

For our clients, this means websites that can grow and adapt as your business does. For our developers, it means cleaner code, faster builds, and fewer compromises.

We know adopting a new CMS can be daunting, so we’ve created our own Payload Playground for you to try it out for yourself.


Benefits of Payload

  1. 01.

    SaaS and CRM integration

    Most of our clients come to us with systems already in place: a CRM here, a payment gateway there, maybe an ERP that's been running for years. Payload's API plays nicely with all of them. Paired with our own Faraday middleware, we can connect your website or app to virtually any third-party system. Your data flows where it needs to, when it needs to.

  2. 02.

    Future-proof CMS technology

    Nobody wants to rebuild their website every few years. Payload is built on TypeScript and Node, which means it's not going anywhere. It receives regular updates, stays secure, and won't leave you stranded on outdated technology. We build sites that last.

  3. 03.

    Flexible content management

    Businesses change. Your website should keep up. Payload's content modelling makes it straightforward for us to add new features, fields, or entire sections without starting from scratch. Your site scales with you, not against you.

  4. 04.

    Self-hosted and secure

    Payload is self-hosted, which means your data stays under your control. There's no third-party service holding your customer information. For clients handling sensitive data, this is often the deciding factor.

  5. 05.

    Built for speed

    Slow websites lose visitors. Studies show over half of mobile users leave if a page takes more than three seconds to load. Payload, combined with Next.js, delivers content fast. Your users get where they want to be quickly, and your editors spend less time waiting for the backend to catch up.

  6. 06.

    Clean code, fewer bugs

    We use TypeScript across our Payload builds. It catches errors early, keeps code clean, and means fewer bugs down the line. The result is a more reliable, maintainable website.

  7. 07.

    SEO tools built-in

    Payload comes with built-in SEO tools that are genuinely useful. Meta descriptions, custom images, preview panels showing how your pages will appear in search results. It's easy for your team to optimise content without needing a developer.
