CHAPTER 01
A CMS your team will actually use
A content management system, or CMS, is the part of your website your team touches every week. When it is set up well, adding a page or publishing a post takes minutes. When it is not, every update becomes a request to a developer or a risk of breaking the layout. Omebly’s CMS work covers both traditional WordPress builds and headless CMS development with Strapi and Sanity, chosen to match how much you publish and where that content needs to go.
01.1
Who it suits
This service is part of our web development service. It suits marketing teams, publishers, schools, multi-location businesses and any company whose content needs to reach a website and an app from one place.
CHAPTER 02
Headless CMS development or WordPress: choosing the right CMS
The choice comes down to three questions: where your content needs to appear, who edits it and how much control you want over hosting and data.
02.1
WordPress with Elementor Pro
WordPress with a custom Elementor Pro theme is the familiar option. Editors get a visual builder and see pages as they create them. We build a custom theme with a set of approved sections, rather than installing a heavy multipurpose theme, so pages stay fast and on-brand. It suits a single website with a team that already knows WordPress.
02.2
Strapi
Strapi is an open-source headless CMS that runs on your own server. You control the database, the data and the hosting, which some businesses need for compliance or cost reasons.
02.3
Who it suits
Sanity is a hosted headless CMS with real-time collaborative editing and a highly customisable editing studio. It suits teams with several editors working at once.
02.4
A separate front end
With either headless option, the website front end is built separately, usually in Next.js, and fetches content through a REST or GraphQL API. The same content can then feed a mobile app or other screens.
CHAPTER 03
What’s included in a CMS build
Content modelling. Before any design, we list what you publish, such as services, team members, case studies, locations, articles and FAQs, and define the fields each one needs. A good content model is why editing feels simple later.
03.1
A reusable block library
Heroes, feature grids, team profiles, FAQs, galleries and calls to action, designed in Figma and built once. Editors arrange these blocks to create new pages without touching code or breaking the design.
03.2
An editor-friendly admin
Clear field labels, help text, image size guidance, required fields where it matters and live preview, so editors are confident about what will appear on the page.
03.3
Roles and workflow
Author, editor and admin roles, drafts, review and scheduled publishing.
03.4
Build and deploy pipeline
For headless sites we set up a Jamstack pipeline: when an editor publishes, the site rebuilds and the change goes live automatically.
03.5
SEO fields
Editable titles, descriptions and social images on every content type, with an automatic sitemap.
03.6
Migration and training
Content moves from your old CMS with redirects for changed URLs, and editors get a walkthrough and short written guide.
CHAPTER 04
How we approach it
We design the editing experience as carefully as the website. A field called “body_2” helps nobody; a field called “Short summary (shown on the listing page, about 25 words)” does. We also limit choices on purpose. Editors get the colours, fonts and layouts that belong to your brand, not every option in the builder, which keeps pages consistent no matter who creates them.
04.1
Easy to maintain
We also think about the people who will maintain the site in two years. A content model that mirrors your business, with services, locations and people as their own types, survives a redesign: the front end can change while the content stays put. That is a quiet advantage of a headless setup, and one reason we spend time on modelling before design.
04.2
Migrations without downtime
On migrations, we plan the switch so the live site stays up while the new one is built, filled and checked. If you are leaving a slow WordPress setup for a fully custom build, our WordPress to custom migration service covers that path. If your CMS needs to feed other systems, our API and backend development team can extend the content API.
CHAPTER 05
Timelines and what affects the cost
Your fixed written quote sets out the timeline and milestones. The factors that move it most:
- Number of content types and blocksA site with articles and pages is simpler than one with products, locations, events and staff profiles.
- WordPress or headlessHeadless builds involve a separate front end and deploy pipeline.
- Amount of content to migrate,and how tidy it is in the old system.
- Languages and regionsEach adds fields, routing and testing.
- ChannelsFeeding an app or other screens as well as the website adds API work.
05.1
Costs you pay directly
Hosting, domains and any CMS subscription, such as a Sanity plan, are paid by you directly and stay in your name.

Compare
Omebly vs a ready-made wordpress theme
| Omebly | A ready-made WordPress theme | |
|---|---|---|
| Editing | Content fields and blocks shaped around your pages, with help text. | Generic options panels with many settings you never use. |
| Page speed | Only the code your pages need; headless front ends can be served as static pages. | Theme and page-builder code loads on every page whether used or not. |
| Design consistency | Editors arrange approved blocks, so pages stay on-brand. | Easy to drift off-brand as each editor styles pages differently. |
| Multiple channels | Headless setups send the same content to website, app and other screens. | Content is tied to the WordPress website only. |
| Set-up time | Needs content modelling, design and build first. | Install a theme and start the same day. |
| Fixes | Bugs in code Omebly wrote fixed free under the support policy. | Depends on the theme author's updates and support. |

FAQ
CMS Website Development: questions people ask
What is a headless CMS, in plain terms?
A headless CMS stores and manages your content but does not decide how it looks. Your website, app or other screens fetch the content through an API and display it in their own design. Editors still get a friendly admin to write and publish. The benefit is that one piece of content can appear in several places, and the front end can be built for speed.
Should I use WordPress or a headless CMS like Strapi or Sanity?
WordPress suits teams that want a familiar editor, a single website and a large pool of plugins and developers. A headless CMS suits you if content needs to reach a website and an app, if speed matters a great deal, or if you want a cleaner editing setup without theme clutter. We recommend one after looking at what you publish and who edits it.
What is the difference between Strapi and Sanity?
Strapi is open source and self-hosted, so it runs on your own server and you control the database and data. Sanity is a hosted service with real-time collaborative editing and a flexible editing studio, billed on a plan from Sanity. We choose based on where you want your data, how many editors work at once and your running-cost preference.
Will my editors be able to preview pages before publishing?
Yes. With WordPress and Elementor Pro, editors see the page as they build it. With a headless setup, we add a preview mode so drafts show on the real front end before they go live. Combined with draft and scheduled publishing, this lets a reviewer check a page on desktop and mobile before anyone outside sees it.
Can you move our content from our old CMS?
Yes. We export pages, posts, images, categories and authors from your current system and import them into the new content model, cleaning formatting as we go. Changed URLs get redirects so links and search listings keep working. The switch-over is planned so your live site stays up while the new one is prepared and checked.
Can the same CMS feed our mobile app?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons to choose a headless CMS. Strapi and Sanity both deliver content through REST or GraphQL APIs, so your website and a Flutter, iOS or Android app can show the same articles, products or FAQs. Editors update content once and every channel reflects the change.
Will a headless website still work well for SEO?
It can work very well, as long as pages are rendered on the server or pre-built, rather than assembled in the visitor's browser. We build headless front ends with Next.js so Google receives complete HTML, and we include editable SEO fields for titles, descriptions and social images on every content type, plus an automatic sitemap.
