WeDoCMS — Headless CMS · own editing UI

Headless CMS for Nuxt 3 with its own editing UI: content, SEO, language versions and publishing managed right on the page.

Role: Architect and lead developer

Client: WeDo with partner agency Fullbrains (own product)

Team: 2 developers; co-owned with Fullbrains

Period: 2023

Agency sites and client landing pages change constantly, but classic CMSs either lock the frontend into their templates or send editors to a separate admin that looks nothing like the page. WeDo and partner agency Fullbrains wanted their own headless CMS for Nuxt 3: content stored apart from the code, a fast statically generated site, and editors who change texts, images, lists, SEO and language versions in place, then publish when ready.

WeDoCMS ships as a Nuxt 3 module with its own UI. Logged-in editors see outlines and floating toolbars on editable text, rich text (TipTap), images and collections, plus a dock for metadata and SEO, sitemap, language versions, common strings, preview and publishing. Content is typed by a schema, stored in Redis via redis-om and versioned as JSON Patch diffs; WebSockets keep editors in sync. Publishing triggers a GitHub Actions build that pre-renders the chosen version. I designed the architecture and led development.
