Content your team can maintain
Payload CMS agency
Editable websites built with Payload CMS and Next.js. We agree content fields, languages, migration and handover before development – from €3,000.
Your team needs to update services, projects or multilingual content without rebuilding each page. We plan the editing structure first: what gets published, which fields are needed and who is responsible for review.
Payload CMS stores and manages the content; the website presents it through a separate front end. We agree the content model, editing blocks and release workflow before building. This setup creates flexibility, while hosting and technical maintenance still need ownership.
We also assess migrations of existing websites from other systems to Payload CMS and Next.js. Content, features, integrations and URL structure determine the effort. Webflow is one specific use case; we agree the right approach after reviewing your website.
Moving from Webflow? Our Webflow to Payload migration page covers the process and pricing, starting at EUR 2,000.
Two examples with different requirements: at Plant Plast, material information and applications lead to sample enquiries. Deleyna Talents combines work and artist presentation with separate contact routes. Both case studies explain the work delivered through a bilingual website and Payload CMS.
Where it fits
Which editing workflow should the CMS support?
Service and project content
Your team regularly updates services and case studies and needs consistent, editable page sections.
German and English content
Publishing needs separate language versions, with agreed translation and review responsibilities.
A defined content migration
Existing pages and media need a usable content model and a plan for current URLs.
How we work
From content inventory to editor handover
01
Map content and publishing
Review pages, reusable content, languages and the people who edit and approve them.
02
Agree the model and website scope
Define fields, page sections, permissions and the front end alongside migration requirements.
03
Build, migrate and hand over
Implement the agreed setup, check content and URL mappings and introduce editors to the workflow.
Who edits, develops and operates the website?
Your editors work with the agreed fields and page blocks, such as text, images and separate language versions. We first establish which changes happen regularly and who reviews and approves the content.
New functionality, additional content types or a different page layout may require development. Share a sample of your content and the changes your team needs to make regularly so we can agree an editing structure and project scope.
Hosting, backups and technical updates need an owner. Tell us who handles these tasks today and what support your team needs. The website project, operation and additional development are scoped separately in the quote.
Websites built with Payload CMS
These projects show different uses of Payload CMS and website content. They are examples of implementation, rather than a promise of ranking or revenue gains.
Agreed scope
Your headless CMS agency project: scope

Editing and review

Website front end
Build agreed page templates, responsive layouts and contact paths with Next.js.
Content and URL migration
Map existing content, media and URLs; implement and verify agreed redirects.
Search foundations
Agree metadata, structured data, internal links and indexing checks for the commissioned pages.
Handover and operation
Document editing tasks and ownership of hosting, updates, backups and further development.

It plans the content structure and editing workflow, implements the CMS and builds the website that uses the content. Our quote defines fields, page templates, permissions, migration and handover. The term headless describes the separate content system and front end; it does not remove the need for maintenance.
We agree which content and page sections editors can change and which changes require development. Editors receive a workflow and handover matched to the commissioned structure. New integrations, templates or functionality are not automatically included in routine content editing.
We assess the current content, media, URLs and functionality first. The migration maps that material to the agreed content model. Page-builder layouts, forms and integrations can require rebuilding; a simple export is not a complete migration plan.
No. The CMS can support useful content and agreed technical foundations, but search rankings and AI citations depend on external systems and other factors. We assess the actual website output and content rather than treating a platform choice as proof of visibility.
The existing website entry price starts from EUR 3,000 for a defined build. Pages, languages, migration, integrations and custom workflows determine the final quote. Optional ongoing support starts from EUR 350 per month; scope, hosting and external costs are agreed separately.
We agree ownership, hosting arrangements, access roles and handover before release. Payload supports configurable access control, but the project still needs that configuration and verification. Ongoing updates, backup responsibilities and further development belong in a separate operational agreement.
