A CMS (Content Management System) is a tool that lets you create, edit, and manage content on your app or website without needing to code.
A CMS empowers non-technical teams to make content updates fast and easily—no developer required. This means you can publish news, adjust copy, or update visuals quickly to meet user and marketing demands. It also streamlines workflows, reduces dev cost, and ensures consistency across platforms as your app scales.
Planning how content will be updated post-launch
Deciding if you need an admin panel to manage app data
Building content-heavy or media-rich apps
Discussing roles and permissions for content teams
Evaluating CMS platforms like WordPress, Strapi, or Sanity
In the project, we integrated a CMS to give the client full control over app content without developer support. This enabled faster updates, streamlined workflows, and improved scalability.
Many founders overlook CMS integration until too late. Planning it from the start ensures your content team isn’t stuck waiting on devs for every little update.
