Headless CMS Website with Strapi or SanityKevine Nzapdi
Give editors control without limiting your frontend
Your content should not be hard-coded into frontend components or require a developer every time the marketing team needs to publish a page.
I build content-first headless websites using Strapi or Sanity, connected to frontends developed with React, Next.js, Vue.js or Angular.
You receive a structured content system for editors, a maintainable frontend for developers and documented workflows for previewing, publishing and deploying updates.
The technology stack is selected according to your existing codebase, editorial needs, search requirements, infrastructure and internal technical expertise. I will not recommend changing frameworks simply to follow a trend.
Problems this service solves
This service can help when:
Marketing depends on developers for routine content changes
Content is hard-coded into the frontend
Your existing CMS limits design or frontend development
Editors work with confusing or poorly organized fields
Similar content is recreated manually across several pages
Your website needs reusable landing-page sections
Content must be shared across multiple pages or applications
Your current headless website lacks previews
Published CMS changes do not update the frontend reliably
SEO titles, canonicals or social metadata cannot be managed properly
Roles and API permissions are too broad or incorrectly configured
Your team needs to integrate content with external APIs
Developers lack setup, deployment or maintenance documentation
You are migrating from WordPress or another CMS
Your organization needs separate CMS and frontend deployments
Suitable projects

SaaS and technology websites
Developer-tool websites
Blogs and editorial platforms
Resource centres
Case-study libraries

My process
1. Discovery
We define the website goals, users, content types, editorial team, integrations, existing technology and launch requirements.
2. Architecture
I recommend the appropriate CMS, frontend, content model, API approach, rendering strategy and deployment architecture.
3. Content modelling
I define the content types, reusable components, fields, relationships, validation and permissions.
4. Development
I configure the CMS, develop or integrate the frontend and implement the agreed publishing workflow.
5. Testing
I test content management, API behaviour, roles, previews, responsive templates, publishing and relevant integrations.
6. Deployment and handover
I deploy or hand over the agreed systems and provide editor and developer documentation.
What I need from you
Please provide:
A description of the website and its purpose
Target users
Existing codebase or website, if applicable
Required pages and functionality
Content types you need to manage
Approved designs, if available
Representative content
Required integrations
Existing CMS export, if migrating
Hosting preferences
SEO and analytics requirements
Required launch date
Scope, pricing and timeline
Every headless CMS project differs in content complexity, frontend requirements, integrations, migration and infrastructure.
I provide a custom quote after reviewing the project and confirming the most appropriate architecture.
A focused headless website typically takes approximately six weeks after the required designs, content and access have been provided. Larger migrations, multilingual platforms or complex integrations may require additional time.
The final proposal will define the included content types, templates, integrations, environments, milestones, revisions and responsibilities.
