Custom Content Management

A purpose-built CMS for your website.

A Content Management System, or "CMS," is not a generic dashboard or a third-party platform. It's a lightweight, password-protected admin area designed around the site's actual content—so updates stay simple, the design stays intact, and the site stays fast.

Content can be edited from anywhere, including on your phone. Updates can be made at home, on the road, or between gigs—without touching code.

Below are just a few examples of what you can do with the keys to your website.

Password-Protected Admin

All editing tools live behind a secure, password-protected admin page that isn't publicly accessible. Your content management area is locked down and only accessible to authorized users.

Edit From Anywhere

The admin interface is mobile-friendly, so content updates can be made from desktop, tablet or phone. Perfect for updating show dates, adding new portfolio pieces, or posting announcements on the go.

Built for the Site

Instead of forcing your content into a template, the CMS is built to match the site's structure—keeping the experience clean and easy. Each CMS is tailored to the specific content types your site actually uses.

When You Might Not Need a CMS

If your site content rarely changes and you're comfortable with occasional code edits, a static site without a CMS might be the right fit. Simple portfolio sites or one-page landing pages often don't need content management.

However, if you need to update content regularly—show dates, new portfolio pieces, blog posts, or business information—a CMS saves time and eliminates the need to contact a developer for every change.

Common Questions

Can I Add a CMS Later?

Yes, a CMS can be added to an existing custom site. However, it's more efficient to plan for it during the initial build, as the CMS structure is designed around your site's content organization.

How Difficult Is It to Use?

The CMS is designed to be straightforward. If you can use a basic form or email interface, you can use the CMS. I provide documentation and can walk you through the process.
