Building a CMS Your Team Will Actually Use
Off-the-shelf CMSes optimise for everyone, which means they fit no one. A focused custom CMS earns adoption by removing friction.
Adoption is the whole game
The best CMS is the one your editors reach for without complaining. That almost never describes a generic install bristling with options nobody uses.
What a focused CMS gets right
- A content model that mirrors the business. Posts, pages, projects — named and shaped like your team thinks.
- A fast, familiar editor. A WordPress-style two-column screen, scheduling, and an HTML view for the power users.
- No plugin tax. Features you own, update on your schedule, and never have to patch at 2am.
Build for the people typing into it every day, and the rest takes care of itself.
