Beyond Off-the-Shelf
WordPress, Drupal, Ghost - they're fine starting points. But as your publishing operation grows, you'll hit their limits. Workflows that don't match your editorial process. Performance that degrades as your archive expands. Integrations that require awkward workarounds.
We build content management systems that fit your operation, not the other way around.
What We Build
Online Magazines & Editorial Platforms
Custom editorial workflows, flexible content types, and publishing pipelines designed around how your team actually works. From pitch to publication, with all the approval stages and collaboration your process requires.
Video CMS
Managing video content has different demands than text. Transcoding pipelines, multiple quality levels, CDN integration, chaptering, transcripts, and analytics. We build video platforms that handle the complexity so your team can focus on content.
Print-to-Digital Workflows
If you publish in both print and digital, your CMS should support both. We create systems that handle the relationship between print layouts and web content, managing assets across both channels without duplicating effort.
Archive & Migration
Decades of content in legacy systems? We specialise in migrating archives to modern platforms - preserving URLs, metadata, and relationships while giving you a foundation you can build on.
Technical Foundations
Our publishing platforms are built on solid technical foundations:
- Headless architecture - Content separated from presentation, ready for web, apps, newsletters, and whatever comes next
- API-first design - Your content available wherever you need it, with proper authentication and rate limiting
- Performance at scale - Caching strategies, CDN integration, and database optimisation for archives of any size
- Search that works - Full-text search, faceted filtering, and relevance tuning that helps readers find what they're looking for
The Editorial Experience
A CMS is only as good as the experience it provides to the people using it every day. We focus on:
- Intuitive interfaces that don't require training manuals
- Keyboard shortcuts and efficiency features for power users
- Real-time collaboration without stepping on each other's work
- Preview that actually matches what readers will see
- Scheduling, embargoes, and publication workflows that match your needs
