Custom development
A traditional CMS ties your content to one website and one theme. When you want the same content on a site, an app and a landing page tool, or you want pages that load fast and are hard to break, a headless CMS is often the better fit. Editors work in a clean admin, and the website is a separate Next.js front end that pulls content through an API. I plan the content model, set up the CMS, build the front end and move your existing content across.

Not for everyone. A headless setup is faster and more flexible for multi-channel content, but it costs more to build and needs a developer for new page types. WordPress is often the better choice for a small business site, and I will say so if that fits you.
Yes. I map your posts, pages, categories and media to the new content model, move them with scripts, keep your URLs where possible and redirect the rest so search traffic carries over.
