Strapi - Full Headless CMS DevelopmentBen Degbe
I specialize in delivering high-performance, custom Strapi instances tailored precisely to your content needs. As a decoupled, Node.js-based Headless CMS, Strapi provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing us to build an API-first backend that is ready to power any frontend application (Next.js, Gatsby, mobile apps, etc.) With my full-cycle approach—from initial setup and data architecture to production deployment—you get a robust, maintainable backend without the headache of managing infrastructure.
What's included
⚡ Full Architecture & Schema Design
We begin with a strategic content architecture planning session to ensure your Strapi instance is built for scale, performance, and optimal editor experience, covering Collections, Single Types, Components, and custom fields.
🔨 Complete CMS Development & Customization
Full implementation of the required schemas, roles, and permissions. This includes custom field logic, relationships, media library configuration, and integrating third-party services (e.g., email or payment hooks).
⚙️ Secure Deployment & CI/CD Setup
We handle deployment to a secure, scalable hosting provider (Cloud or self-hosted) and configure automated continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for seamless, zero-downtime updates.
🤝 Post-Deployment Knowledge Transfer
You receive comprehensive documentation and a one-hour training session with your content editors to ensure they can manage and scale the CMS effortlessly from day one.
FAQs
A typical project, covering architecture through deployment, takes about 4-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the data model and the required third-party integrations.
No. I am equally proficient in optimizing, upgrading, or refactoring existing Strapi deployments to improve performance, enforce security, and reduce infrastructure costs.
Strapi Community Edition is free, but hosting is not. For production, a reliable host (like DigitalOcean, AWS, Railflow, Render or Strapi Cloud) is required. The Strapi Cloud Free Tier is limited to 500 database entries and 10k API requests and is not suitable for commercial use. I recommend budgeting for the Essential ($15/month) or Pro ($75/month) plan for custom domains, larger capacity, and higher reliability.
