A site backed by Payload CMS so pages, posts, resources, forms, and media can change without filing a developer ticket every time.
Starting point
Usually starts around $6,500–$9,500
Most focused CMS builds fit into 4–8 weeks depending on content model and migration needs.
After launch
Best paired with care for backups, dependency updates, admin checks, and small improvements after real use exposes rough edges.
Common fit
Problems this is meant to solve.
01
Every content change currently requires code or a developer favor.
02
Blog/resource content is trapped in another tool or old static files.
03
The site needs room to grow without another redesign in three months.
Best for
- Teams that publish articles, resources, case studies, or service pages
