CMS Development for Websites You Can Edit Yourself

A website you can update yourself

Nobody should need a developer to change a phone number or add a job vacancy, yet plenty of businesses are stuck doing exactly that — emailing the change across and waiting days for a one-line edit. A content management system (CMS) hands that control back to you. Whoooop Ltd builds editable websites for businesses that want to post news, swap out images and add pages themselves, without raising a request every time.

We've worked in full-stack development for over 15 years, and most of that work ends up in someone else's hands once it's live. The aim is a site your team can actually run, not one that only its builder understands.

How we build content management systems

Headless or traditional — which suits you

A traditional CMS keeps the editing and the page templates together in one place, which is straightforward for a marketing site that one team looks after. A headless setup splits the two: content lives in its own store and gets pulled in by whatever needs it, which pays off when the same content has to appear in more than one place, or when you want the front end built with a modern framework for speed. We'll talk through how your business works and recommend the simpler of the two that still does the job — there's no point running a complex setup for a five-page site.

When a CMS isn't the answer

If you only touch the site once or twice a year, a full CMS can be more upkeep than it saves — a straightforward build with the odd change from us during ongoing maintenance and support may cost less to run. And if the real trouble is that the whole thing looks dated or loads slowly, bolting editing onto a tired site won't fix that; a proper redesign is usually better value. We'll tell you which camp you're in before you spend anything.

• We build the editing experience around your team, not around the software's defaults
• Content modelled so pages stay consistent without you policing every edit
• Performance and accessibility built in, so an editable site stays a fast one
