CMS Development Services We Provide
Custom CMS Development
Develop custom CMS solutions that adapt to your business, not the other way around.
Using languages like PHP, JavaScript, Python, and Ruby, along with tools like Nginx, Apache, and Cloudflare, we build custom content management systems that align with your desired management flow, user permissions, and data structure.
CMS Integration & Migration
Merge your existing digital infrastructure with modern CMS platforms and other systems to ensure data consistency across all touchpoints.
Whether you’re moving to more robust platform, integrating new features, or consolidating multiple systems, we can ensure a smooth transition with minimal downtime. We leverage a variety of APIs, webhooks, and other tools to seamlessly connect your systems.
Content & Data Migration
Our CMS developers meticulously transfer digital assets, including structured and unstructured content.
Through database transformation, API data exchange mechanisms, and custom script deployment for data sanitation, we build a foundation for future integrations and scaling.
Mobile App Integration
Connect your mobile apps with a feature-rich CMS ecosystem to integrate payment gateways, social media APIs, cloud storage, and push notifications.
Our developers augment your app with real-time communication tools, location-based features, or advanced analytics to improve user interactions and engagement.
SEO Optimization & Analytics
Navigate complex search engine algorithms to maintain visibility through on and off-page SEO.
Integrating tools like Ahrefs and Screaming Frog SEO Spider, we'll help you understand your audience, refine your content strategy, and measure ROI more effectively.
CMS Security, Testing & Maintenance
Prevent data breaches and performance issues with comprehensive security, testing, and maintenance. Implement OWASP security guidelines, secure data transmission through HTTPS/SSL, and use Web Application Firewalls (WAF) to protect against common attacks.
Using platforms like Selenium for automated web testing and JMeter for performance, we'll help you gain a more holistic view of your CMS under varied load conditions.
User Experience Design
Prioritizing user experience (UX) leads to better customer interactions and engagement. We conduct in-depth user research and use tools like Sketch, Adobe XD, and Figma for wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity designs.
With an iterative process that responds to user feedback and continually refines the UX, your custom CMS solution will make every interaction meaningful and accessible.
API Development & Integration
Enhance the functionality of your CMS with custom API development and integration. We use standards like REST for straightforward, effective data exchange and GraphQL for handling more complex queries.
We also incorporate OAuth and JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication and authorization, protecting the data in transit and at rest.
Performance Optimization & Scalability Solutions
Bottlenecks can stop your CMS dead in its tracks. Boost your platform's speed, efficiency, and growth potential with our optimization and scalability solutions.
Our developers examine server configurations, optimize databases, and adjust front-end structure through caching, code minification, and load balancing. For scalability, we implement cloud solutions, microservices, and CDN deployment.

Key Things to Know About CMS
Best Practices for CMS Software Development in 2024
As digital marketing and customer expectations have evolved, so have CMS platforms. Here are some best practices for CMS development.
A CMS should serve the end-users while catering to content creators' needs. Here’s how we deliver a great UX:
A responsive design automatically adjusts content based on the screen size or device. Our developers ensure your content looks great and functions properly on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
Intuitive navigation is the backbone of a great user experience. We structure interfaces in a logical, straightforward way, enabling users to find the information they need without frustration.
Most web traffic now comes from mobile devices, so CMS platforms should include touch interactions and fast loading times to ensure a high-quality experience.
CMS platforms should be inclusive and accessible to users regardless of ability. Some features to include are keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and color contrast.
Complexity is the enemy of execution. By removing clutter or unnecessary functions, our developers enable creators to publish, edit, and manage content seamlessly.
Whether you’re building a new platform from the ground up or augmenting an off-the-shelf system to suit your needs, we follow development guidelines to ensure the best possible result.
We adhere to industry-recognized coding standards like PSR for PHP projects, PEP 8 for Python, and the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide for JavaScript development. Static code analysis tools like SonarQube and other linters actively monitor these standards.
We use modular architecture principles, frameworks, and technologies like Symfony, Django, and Angular. These decouple functionalities into unique modules, allowing for easier customization and upgrades.
Branching strategy through GitFlow and CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins and GitLab CI allows teams to track changes and coordinate workflows.
For performance, we use backend query optimization in SQL databases and high-volume data handling with tools like MongoDB. Our frontend techniques include asynchronous loading, virtual DOMs to improve render time, and CDNs for static content.
To plan for future growth, architect systems through AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure and leverage their auto-scaling cloud capabilities. Design APIs with RESTful principles or GraphQL to ensure flexibility with changing third-party services.
CMS maintenance includes regular updates to the core system, plugins, and dependencies to safeguard against new security vulnerabilities. We use automated testing scenarios and tools like Selenium and PHPUnit to validate system integrity throughout any update.
Data and system security is paramount, with breaches and downtime costing more and more each year. Here’s how we keep your CMS safe and compliant:
Through automation tools like Dependabot for GitHub, we monitor and incorporate the latest security patches and mitigate any vulnerabilities. A proactive approach is critical for defending against emerging threats.
To minimize internal risks, your CMS needs role-based access controls (RBAC) that assign permissions based on the principle of least privilege. Frameworks like Spring Security can facilitate a secure management access control system.
Password policies like complexity requirements, account lockout mechanisms, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) will protect against unauthorized access. Identity providers like Auth0 and Okta can add an additional layer of authentication and security.
Automated backups prevent data loss from system failures, cyberattacks, or disasters. Cloud storage solutions like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage and regular restoration testing will help minimize downtime.
Regular audits and assessments are necessary to identify and address compliance gaps to comply with data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA). Incorporate data anonymization, encryption, and secure data processing practices.
CMS platforms require constant performance monitoring and maintenance. Here’s how to keep your platform fast, efficient, and aligned with the latest web standards.
With tools like Google Lighthouse and WebPage Test, you can collect and analyze performance metrics to optimize performance, load times, and responsiveness.
We establish routines for auditing and updating CMS components, keeping content fresh and secure. Tools like Composer or NPM help keep everything up-to-date and resilient against vulnerabilities.
Media optimization with tools like ImageMagick or WebP will reduce loading times and allow your content to be viewed without issue.
Our approach to caching incorporates both client and server-side techniques to minimize latency and server load. Reverse proxy servers like Varnish can help maintain rapid content delivery even during traffic spikes.
Regular SEO audits are performed with services like SEMrush or Ahrefs, analyzing site structure, schema markup, keyword optimization, and backlink profiles.
